Last Tuesday, the European Union’s top court ordered Poland to recognize the marriage of a same-sex couple who had wed in Germany.
In delivering its verdict, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) kept the language broad, referring to the obligation of “a member state” to recognize same-sex marriages registered in other EU member states.
It means that a Czech, Romanian or Bulgarian court — or any other EU member state where same-sex marriage is not recognized — will now have to take the verdict into consideration if a similar case arises in their jurisdiction.
The case in question involved a married Polish couple, Jakub Cupriak-Trojan and Mateusz Trojan, who tied the knot in Berlin in 2018 while residing in Germany.
When they returned to live in Poland the following year, they tried to register their marriage at Warsaw’s civil registry office. However, that request was declined on the basis that Polish law recognizes marriage as a union between a man and a woman. […]
In issuing its verdict this week, the court found that the refusal of Polish authorities to recognize the marriage could not be justified as it breached EU law on safeguarding “respect for private and family life”.
Polish authorities, the court found, had left the couple “in a legal limbo” and had failed to meet the “fundamental needs of recognition and protection of same-sex couples in a stable relationship”. …

Just another signpost on the neo-marxist destruction of Europe
The globalist, aggressive, woke EU in Davos, London and Brussels is a true enemy to every conservative and Christian American.
Yes; the EUSSR still hasn’t gotten out of Britain in spite of “Brexit”. Both Labour and the Tories are their vanguard there, with the Lib-Dems and even the “king” as minor cheerleaders.
Bye bye Europe.
Without enabling legislation in Poland, this ruling probably isn't doing much.
And Nawrocki would probably veto any such legislation, even if it could garner a majority in the Polish parliament.
It was Polish individuals, Poland would marry them. Germany should have respected that and not married them. Respect only flows one way.
Gay European Union’s top court ordered Poland .............
Europe has progressed from a customs union to a trade union, to a nanny state where there’s a rule and regulation for every little thing. I suspect that soon all men, by law, must pee sitting down under penalty of fines. Enforcement will be by monitoring cameras.
It was nice knowing them.
We have to come up with a name for the Polish secession movement.
Polexit maybe?
Poland currently recognizes marriage as only between a man and a woman.
Germany should have recognized that and not married them.
… DETERMINED to establish the foundations of an ever closer union among the European peoples;Those are clauses two and three of the preamble of the Treaty of Rome, which established the so-called European Economic Community (commonly called the “Common Market”) in 1957. And they had it planned even further back than that. The communistic and imperialistic principles are evident even back then.
DECIDED to ensure the economic and social progress of their countries by common action in eliminating the barriers which divide Europe …
Germany themselves legalized “same-sex marriage” back in 2017.
And Germany runs the EUSSR, so they regard EUSSR law and their law as one and the same to be imposed on all the other EUSSR member states.
My point was two countries have different laws on same sex marriage. The no gay marriage country always have to give way to the other.
Then you don’t understand the EUSSR.
To be honest, our own Supreme Court has been just as egregious.
This is an example of why the EU treaties should NOT have created a central EU court over the sovereignty of the EU nations on any matter. All matters should be handled not by majority rules, nor by “independent” agencies or courts, but, like NATO, by consensus only - meaning the individual governments of all the EU states agree. Everything else is an element that is starting to and will pull the EU apart.
Since the impetus of the EUSSR is “ever-closer union among the peoples of Europe”, of course they would have created a central court over every other EUSSR member state.
Remember, the treaties are patterned after the charter of the UN, which in turn was patterned after the 1936 USSR constitution.
