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.

I remember when the EU was just about creating a common market....
“when the EU was just about creating a common market”
Romanians know who to get rid of leaders.
That’s a hill to die on. America didn’t and now we’re dying anyway.
“...recognizing same-sex civil unions would not harm the institution of marriage...”
It HAS completely destroyed the very meaning of marriage.
There argument of same sex marriage obliterates the argument for preventing 3,4,5 people group marriage. Now, anything goes. It is the children that will suffer, never knowing, or sharing the love of a father and mother.
Homosexual marriage is the harbinger for the destruction of all societies.

One observes that only yesterday some "news" reported that the US "demands" the conservatives in Israel not pass a low. Seems as if there are a lot of imperial politicians "demanding" other parties, political or international, OBEY. This assures that, over time, the EU will fracture. Imperial dreams come up against local and individual wishes, and those dreams have historically become nightmares.
Thanks. That clarifies things. I do find it odd that so much of the end times prophecies seem to apply to Israel. There’s a great big world out there with superpowers that are relevant today but the Bible stays Israel-centric.
And the reality of all "gender-affirming" medicine is sterility, while abortion on demand is also the delivery of being "barren."
Only yesterday was posted "The Path to National Suicide: U.S. fertility rates have dropped over the last two centuries and show no sign of rising"
