Map updated to include Greece, which allows marriage as of today.
Polish constitution doesn’t prohibit same-sex marriage. The article in question just states “***Marriage as a union*** *between a man and a woman, family, maternity and parenthood* ***are under the protection*** *and guardianship of the Republic of Poland*”. It doesn’t say that marriage is only a union between a man and a woman, but this specific type of marriage is protected.
*”This provision does not prejudge the impossibility of legal regulation of same-sex relations, but instead emphasizes the special protection of marriage, but as a union between a man and a woman. The fulfillment of this constitutional principle is provided by Polish statutory provisions”*
It’s legal in Montenegro.
Looks like Mr. Burns sitting on Homer’s face.
Well lets hope we see more blue since there is no higher gaynes then thinking where another man puts his PP in
It’s interesting to see the very stark difference among the three Baltic countries. They often hold similar opinions in many matters, but here they’re like three edges of a triangle.
Now do correlation with GDP per capita levels and/or percent of people with higher education…
In Croatia, the same sex (Lifetime Partnership) has the same legal status as marriage, in all but name.
What is the practical difference between marriage and civil union?
Surprised about the gayest country in the world, the Vatican.
Imagine European agencies organizing lesbian wedding in Lesbos.
Someone will go ahead and troll it.
Let’s go Greece!
Estonia Nordic confirmed.
There’s a caveat in Lithuania. The Lithuanian highest court ruled some years ago that any marriage that happened in another EU country is valid in Lithuania too. So while same sex couples can’t legally *get* married in Lithuania, they can legally *be* married in Lithuania, and enjoy all the privileges that straight couples have.
It’s less than 0.5% of marriages in Denmark that has same sex partners.
(9000 out of over 2000000).
Not really that big of a deal and anti same sex agenda looks more like politically, religious or ideology motivated, than an issue of “concern” for the nation.
Can we get Italy and Cyprus on board please? It feels lonely here D:
It’s bullshit that Polish contitution prohibits same sex marriages. The actual article goes sth like: “Marriage as a relationship of a man with a woman is under special protection from the state”. It does define marriage but doesn’t ban other types of marriage. Same sex marriage wouldn’t be under constitutional protection but it could happen.
(Ofc, given the fucked up state of our Constitutional Trubunal – they could easily ban it, but there is precedence for ignoring them, lmao. Polish law is a fucking joke after PiSs rule)
So Russia is in Europe now ?
Italy, the only country of the “old” EU to still discriminate.
I never thought we would legalize it before Italy.
The next one will be Liechtenstein in March, not sure what’s going on in Czechia with the parliamentary debate but I read it doesn’t look too optimistic.
Cyprus is a wild card, often they follow us so maybe they will be next?
Poland has to wait for Duda to leave and that’s if enough TD MPs are in favour otherwise it will wait for 2027.
The rest are not close to legalizing it.
It Poland it doesn’t prohibit gay marriege. It only “grants special” to hetero marriege…and what that means is left up to interpretation
In Romania they did an referendum to change the Constitution to forbidden it.
Very few were interested and the result was annuled
My country is Romania , so I hope it will remain not legal forever
Congrats, Greece. I bet it pissed off some Orthodox people. Good.
What’s the difference between light blue and orange?
We normally joke that Portugal is Eastern Europe, but here is a big W for them, nice!
Sure, legal in Finland but as the latest presidential election shows, people here are still intolerant shitheads.
Lets push the blue wave.
This seems the only thing that ruzzia have done right.
What’s the difference between red (constitution prohibits same-sex marriage) and grey (not legal)?
I love how Turkey is getting chucked from these maps as they should.
Glad that I am currently living in Romania.
What’s the difference between light blue and light red? Just that light red specifically makes it illegal in their constitutions? Because in both same sex marriage is illegal but civil unions or other arrangements are allowed
In case of Poland it is untrue.
-It is not true that constitiusion prohibits same sex marrige, constitution only states, that traditional man-woman marrige is under -special prottection-. Thats it. Out of bad faith, conservatives interpret this provision as a prohibition.
-Poland also does not have civil union for same sex marriges.
And cohabitation agreement? I’m not even sure what does it mean in this case.
In many Arab nations, gay marriage is forbidden and in some of the more radical nations, you can get stoned to death for even being gay.
Now we see some groups in Europe pushing for sharia law. Do you think this could impact this chart in the decades to come?
Why is Ukraine red? I think they are a Western progressive liberal democracy?
Ad an Italian, I’m ashamed
What’s the exact difference between the light blue and the orange countries?
Poland has no same-sex civil unions and legal framework for gay couples living together is basically non-existent. This map is not accurate.
So today’s topic is gay rights! I wondered why I see third post about this topic.
it’s so fucked up that this map still has to exist
Ukraine is passing bill through it’s parliament at the moment on civil partnership, if I’m not mistaken.
Welcome officially to western Europe Greece. We knew you could do it!
Switzerland is the real shame here.
Wait, so there are actually countries which have it written in constitution that marriage is a union of a man and a woman?
What is the difference between light blue and orange, especially in practice? Same with grey and red, especially knowing red in many cases aren’t “prohibited”, just still not added
Meanwhile, Ana Brnabić aka Burn-A-Bitch: Lesbian and is in same sex relationship
Another within never ending cases of “Rule for me, but not for thee”.

The Supreme Administrative Court of Poland in 2022 said [this](https://www.rp.pl/w-sadzie-i-w-urzedzie/art37349161-nsa-polska-konstytucja-nie-zakazuje-malzenstw-jednoplciowych) about this article:
