Greece has become the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex civil marriage, despite opposition from Church officials.
A cross-party majority of 176 lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament voted late Thursday in favor of the bill drafted by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ center-right government. Another 76 rejected the reform while two abstained from the vote and 46 were not present for the vote.
