A Greek novelist and a lawyer are the first same-sex couple to wed at Athens city hall
A Greek novelist, Petros Hadjopoulos, and his partner, lawyer Anastasios Samouilidis, became the first same-sex couple to marry at Athens city hall following the legalization of same-sex marriage in Greece. The ceremony, officiated by Athens Mayor Haris Doukas, marks a historic moment in the country's LGBTQ rights movement. Despite strong opposition from the Orthodox Church, a majority of Greek lawmakers approved the legislation, which also grants full parental rights to married same-sex partners. The event symbolizes significant progress for LGBTQ individuals in Greece, particularly those who faced isolation in past decades.
