The Estonian parliament has voted to legalise same-sex marriage, writes EURONEWS.

The move comes just two months after the country’s new liberal coalition government took office, and nine years after the country voted to introduce same-sex civil unions.

In April, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas promised to legislate for same-sex marriage “as fast as possible”.

“I’m proud of my country. We’re building a society where everyone’s rights are respected and people can love freely”, - she said.
