Greece Plans to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage Soon, Premier Mitsotakis Says

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that his country is close to allowing same-sex couples to marry and to adopt children.

“What we will legislate is marriage equality. That is, the elimination of any discrimination based on sexual orientation in the matter of entering into a marriage,” Mitsotakis said Wednesday in an interview with state-run ERT television. Current discussions on the framework of the legislation “won’t take long,” and the draft law will be presented in more detail in the coming days, he said.
