On this day, July 2nd, 2005 – Spain became the third country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. The law was passed by the Spanish Parliament with strong support and marked a major step forward for LGBTQ+ rights in Europe. It allowed full marriage equality, including adoption rights.

  1. damn, that was 15 years ago and same-sex marriage is not even close to being legalized in my shithole country.

  2. Same-Sex Marriage good,  adoption rights bad.

    Say what you will, but I wouldn’t want kids to be adopted and raised like that. I think that goes too far.

  4. It’s incredible considering they were the last fascist country in Europe

  5. I’m happy for you, proud. 

    I’ll probably need to move out from Poland, nothing seems like we’re getting rights here 

  6. I remember this. People were ok with marriage, but not with same-sex families having kids. 20 years later I guess they were wrong.

  7. Few things are as embarrassing as Italy still not allowing same sex marriage, in 2025

  8. Man, the 00s really felt like progress was inevitable.

    People were becoming more tolerant. More and more countries were adopting progressive laws. The far-right was barely a concern in most of Europe. Democracy was mostly expanding all around the world. Large-scale peer or near-peer wars seemed like a thing of the past.

    Fast-forward 2025, and you can literally say the exact opposite for every single statement mentioned above. I’m not naturally a doomer, but I can pretty objectively say that humanity is definitely going in the wrong direction.

  9. how did that improve the overall quality of life in the country? 

  10. Adoption rights? There is no right to adoption for anyone. It is an extremely rare phenomenon. You can be reufsed for countless reasons
