Poland has legally recognised a same-sex relationship for the first time, after the city of Warsaw complied with a court order to transcribe into its civil registry a marriage between two men that took place in Germany.

Finally.
50 more couples wait for transcriptions in just Warsaw, probably more will go now. Real test will happen for our gov soon.
Oof Poland

POLAND W !!!!!
Maybe we will finally become advanced enough to realize that giving people basic right to marry is not any problem.
I have first heard of this fecking issue 20 years ago, what a shitshow.
Nobody mentioned it but it has lead to the deny of the polish nationality to the children of same sex mariages.
I cannot think of anything more wrong and clashing with polish constitution
Okay, so I have tried to find this out myself, but I cannot really figure it out: what rights are actually afforded by this? And what are the other stipulations for qualifying?
It would seem you have to be married in the EU and reside in the EU. A gay Polish couple who get married in, say, the US or Canada wouldn’t qualify. Nor would the same couple qualify if they just flew to Spain to get married. Is that correct? Could a Pole marrying a non-Pole then begin the naturalization process for their partner? Adoption is seemingly off the table, which indicates that there are still separate versions of civil union or marriage.
I am following this story closely as a gay Polish-American. My family returned to Poland and so I would like to maybe take advantage of this one day, but I don’t really know if I would be able to or what it would even mean, really. Still, a step forward! I am happy for these first few couples who are having their marriage licenses transcribed in Warsaw 🙂
Neither it was legally nor recognized by “Poland”. It’s just one clown in Warsaw
Just a single one because piece of shit Kierwinski and his shitty conservative cronies are obstructing the process. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
W!!!
