posted Friday, June 8, 2012 - Volume 40 Issue 23 Gay marriage legalisedPeter Stanners Same-sex couples will be able to be married in Danish churches as soon as June 15 while those in civil partnerships will automatically be granted the status as 'married' Updated 7/6, 15:34 - Parli ament passed a law legalising same sex marriage this afternoon with 85 votes for, 24 against and two abstentions. Original story: The ban on marrying same-sex couples in the Church of Denmark will be overturned in parliament today, as a majority of parties have announced their intention to support a law to make marriage gender neutral. The law does permit vicars to decline to marry same-sex couples in their church, however. In such cases, couples would need to find another minister to perform the ceremony for them. Same-sex ceremonies may occur as soon as June 15 should the nation's bishops, as expected, come up with a ceremony by Monday that can be used to wed same-sex couples in church. full story: http://cphpost.dk/news/national/gay-marriage-legalised |
