"The Slovenian parliament on Tuesday passed an amendment allowing same-sex
couples to marry and adopt after a constitutional court ruling made it the
first country in Eastern Europe to do so.
The family law amendment was passed by 48 MPs, with 29 against and one
abstaining.
Slovenia, which emerged from the break-up of Yugoslavia, is the first former
communist country to endorse this reform in Europe, as most of its neighbours
do not allow civil unions or same-sex marriages.
The government of Estonia came the closest in 2016 by agreeing to recognize
same-sex unions created in other countries. Croatia, the Czech Republic,
Hungary and Montenegro have laws establishing same-sex civil partnerships - and
in Hungary, even talking about homosexuality in front of children has been
punishable by a fine since the summer of 2021.
In July, Slovenia's highest court ruled that the law defining marriage as only
between a man and a woman discriminated against gay and lesbian couples.
It suspended the contested articles with immediate effect and ordered
parliament to amend the text within six months."
