SocietyGermany’s long road to equality for same-sex couples

Germany took an important step toward equal marriage rights in 2001. That year, same-sex couples were allowed to register civil partnerships for the first time. The Civil Partnership Act became a crucial stage in the country’s move toward marriage for all. Same-sex marriage was eventually introduced in 2017, completing a lengthy legal path toward equality for same-sex couples.
