In Ireland, where the May 22 referendum was held on the legalization of same-sex marriage, the votes are counted. Final figures are not yet known, but local authorities believe that the country will be the first that allowed gay marriage by popular vote, reports Reuters.
Health Minister Leo Varadkar, who admitted to sexual orientation a few months ago, compared with the referendum “a social revolution».
According Varadkara, preliminary results in Dublin show that almost 75% of participants in the referendum supported the legalization of same-sex unions.
In July 2013 Parliament with a strong Catholic tradition, legalized abortion for medical reasons. In most cases, abortion still falls under the prohibition. Around the partial legalization of a campaign “Vigil for Life”, held mass rallies.
According to RBC, in mid-May, Prime Minister of Luxembourg Bettel Xavier joined the same-sex marriage with his partner, architect Gauthier Destne. He became the first leader among the EU countries that have concluded a same-sex union. The first is in 2010, Johanna Sigurdardottir has made, at the time Prime Minister of Iceland.
