Melech 9,900 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 "BERLIN - The German Bundesrat approved on Friday a bill recognizing same-s-x marriage by a majority of votes from representatives of the Social Democratics, the Greens and the Left.The bill must now be discussed at the Bundestag.German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made clear in recent public remarks that marriage, for her, is the union of a man and a woman, but she acknowledged that there is currently a debate between other different views, even within her Christian Democratic Union party.The Social Democratic party, a partner in the Berlin government, is in favor of recognizing gay marriage, although its legalization was never stated before forming the coalition with Merkel.The bill, which includes reforms to German civil law, was submitted to the Bundestag by the governments of four federal states, which are dominated by the coalition of the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Left.Same-s-x marriage in Germany is a formula in which two people engage in a civil union, which was approved by the coalition of Social Democrats and the Greens under former Chancellor Gerhard Schroder between 1998 and 2005, and considered then as a great achievement for gay rights.

Guest Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I still don't get why Germany isn't there yetMainly because the ruling party is Christian (or at least they call themselves).
