Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced Greece’s intention to introduce legislation allowing same-sex civil marriages, emphasizing equality while excluding the extension of surrogacy rights to same-sex couples. Mitsotakis clarified that the proposed law aims to eliminate discrimination based on sexual orientation in marital relationships but will not alter laws on assisted parenthood. The legislation seeks to safeguard existing children of same-sex parents, recognizing their status, including those born through surrogacy abroad. Opinion polls reveal a divided public on same-sex marriage, with opposition to granting full parental rights to gay or lesbian couples. Mitsotakis aims to secure cross-party support for the legislation, respecting differing opinions within his party.
