The Court of Justice of the European Union rules that EU nations must mutually recognise same-sex marriages.
The Court said in a statement on Tuesday that any refusal to do this ‘is contrary to EU law’ and ‘infringes not only the freedom to move and reside, but also the fundamental right to respect for private and family life.’

Boo, hiss! #Belarus seeks to copy neighboring #Russia’s repressive #LGBTQ+ policies, #activists say
By YURAS KARMANAU
Updated 11:27 PM EST, December 5, 2024TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — "As police raided the home of a gay couple in the Belarusian capital of Minsk and brutally beat them, the officers didn’t hide that the crackdown was aligned to similar moves in neighboring Russia.
"The students, Andrei and Sasha, said security forces demanded that they unlock their smartphones and surrender the names of 'gays in Minsk and Moscow.'
"'They slammed our heads against the door frame, threatened to report us to the university and said that this was just the beginning,' said Andrei, 20, who like other #gay and #transgender #Belarusians interviewed by The Associated Press insisted on being identified only by his first name because of safety concerns.
"'They wanted to expose an ‘underground network’ of gay people in Belarus, following the example of Russia,' he said of the autumn raid. 'They openly told us that if it is banned in Russia, then it should be banned in Belarus too.'
"Belarus decriminalized #homosexuality in 1994 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but the deeply conservative country under #authoritarian President Alexander #Lukashenko doesn’t recognize #SameSexMarriages, and there are no laws protecting LGBTQ+ rights."
