Romania must legalise same-sex civil unions, Europe's top rights court ruled on Tuesday, in a victory for LGBTQ+ campaigners in the socially conservative southeastern European country.
Twenty-one same-sex couples took Romania to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), arguing the lack of legal recognition of their relationships "deprived them of their dignity as spouses".
In a ruling on Tuesday, the ECHR found the country had violated Article 8 of the European Convention, which protects the right to respect for family life, by not giving LGBTQ+ couples any means of legally safeguarding their relationships.
The Romanian couples cited the disadvantages faced under current domestic laws, such as being barred from mortgage programmes, spousal bereavement leave or joint health insurance.
The ECHR said none of the government's arguments outweighed the couples' concerns, and further ruled that recognising same-sex civil unions would not harm the institution of marriage.
The ruling will become legally binding after a three-month period in which both sides have the right to appeal to a higher court of the ECHR.
If neither do, the ruling will stand and lead to Romania being required to implement legislation to introduce same-sex civil unions.

And they're both "saints" now.
The concept of language was lost on these couples and this court, just as it was lost on 5 justices of our Supreme Court.

I’ve thought for years that the abomination of desolation will have something to do with gay marriage.
God calls quite a few sins abominations if I remember correctly, and this is one of them.
One definition of desolate is barren.
Holy place we equate with a church/temple.
Perhaps people will be required to sign off on gay marriage. Eventually pedophilia and of course euthanasia for the elderly (unless they're rich or political).
Someday the dozens of nations in Europe will finally rise up and throw off the EuroNazi Fourth Reich tyranny.
But they’ll have to wake up and realize what their ruling elites have done to them first.
They should Romexit as soon as possible.
But it will be the Muslims who will do the throwing off.
“the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)”
How does one give the finger in Romanian?
That is what the EU deserves from the good people of Romania.
