Greece legalized same-sex marriage, also giving gay couples equal parental rights.

This is a law that has divided Greek society.

Although Greece became the 16th European Union country to allow same-sex marriage, it is the first Orthodox country to pass such a law.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told his cabinet last month that same-sex marriage was an equal rights issue and noted that similar legislation was in place in more than 30 other countries.

He said that there should not be “second class citizens”.
