Estonia passes law to allow same-sex marriage
Prime Minister Kaja Kallas says she is ‘proud of Estonia’ after the bill received 55 votes in the 101-seat parliament.
54.4% in favor is quite disappointing, but it's good that it passed nonetheless.
First post Soviet country to approve? Nice
Quite a slim majority, but stil great news! Hopefully it'll become more normalized and accepted a bit faster now.
Really happy for everyone finally being able to marry their partner. :)
About time
Great news! Sounds like some who have been in a civil union are going to get married.
Finally, Estonia can indeed into Nordic!
The Nordics don't seem to agree. It's still a poor and fairly conservative country with lots of pro-russian people.
I'd welcome them
Not really poor and not really conservative, just not so liberal
Uplifting news.
Incredibly low margin. It's a step forward, but it's a long road ahead.
It's fantastic news! Although big part of society is against it, their opinion should not block basic human rights. 🥳
