CNN —Estonia’s parliament passed on Tuesday a law legalizing same-sex marriage, becoming the first ex-Soviet country to do so. Two adults will be able to marry “regardless of their gender,” after the parliament approved amendments to the country’s Family Law Act, according to a press statement. The amendments to the Family Law Act also mean that same-sex couples can now adopt children. Geoff Moore/ShutterstockSame-sex relationships have been legally recognized in Estonia since 2016, when the Registered Partnership Act took effect. “I am delighted that the decision has now been taken for a more forward-looking Estonia that cares for all.”
