Greece's center-right government will soon submit legislation allowing same--sex civil marriages, despite reservations among its own lawmakers and the country's influential Orthodox Church, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said this week , the AP website reports today (Jan. 12, 2024).
But he stressed that the proposed law would not extend the right to future parenthood through surrogate mothers to same--sex couples -- an issue that has divided Greek society. It would, however, recognize the status of existing offspring.
"What we are going to legislate is equality in marriage," Mitsotakis said."We will remove any discrimination concerning sexual orientation in the issue of marital relationship."
