Gay Activists Celebrates in Germany As Parliament Approves Same Sex Marriage
German politicians have voted to legalise same-sex marriage in a snap
vote only days after Chancellor Angela Merkel changed her mind to allow a free
vote.
The move
brings Germany into line with many other European nations including France,
Britain and Spain, and follows Ms Merkel's surprise decision this week to allow
her politicians to follow their own conscience rather than the party line on
the issue.
Ms Merkel, who has long
opposed same-sex marriage — citing concerns over the welfare of children —
voted against the bill.
But she paved the way for
the vote after saying on Monday that politicians could take up the issue as a
"question of conscience". The bill will grant gay and
lesbian couples full marital rights, including child adoption.
