Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis had pledged to pass the new measures after his landslide re-election last year. He told his cabinet last month that same-sex marriage was a matter of equal rights, noted that similar legislation was in place in more than 30 other countries, and said that there should be no second-class citizens or children of a lesser God.
Maria Gavouneli, the president of the Greek National Commission for Human Rights, called the measure long overdue. Stella Belia, the founder of Rainbow Families, referred to it as a major victory that we've been fighting for for years.
