with a vote of 393 to 226 (with 4 abstentions), the vote passed the german parliament. angela merkel was among the 226 to vote against it.

the law permits same-love couples to adopt children and get married, along with other rights heteroloveual couples exercise.

I'm genuinely surprised this wasn't a thing already

hopefully Merkel voting against it can be used to take her out come election time

Good for Germany!

It wasn't legal before?

You'd think Germany would be among the first to legalize it. I guess that means the U.S. wins again?

I had figured there would be more genuine leftists in Europe than there were milquetoast liberals, but I guess not.

At least socialism isn't as badly stigmatized as it is in America.
