Luxembourg Prime Minister, Xavier Bettel, has
married his gay partner, becoming the first leader
in the European Union to enter into a same-sex
union in a symbol of growing social change across
the continent.
Bettel, 42, a centre-right politician, who became
premier in 2013, tied the knot on Friday with
Gauthier Destenay, a Belgian architect, just
months after the Roman Catholic duchy legalised
gay weddings.
The prime minister and his partner held hands as
they arrived for the low key ceremony at the
Luxembourg town hall, where around 100 well-
wishers applauded them.
“Thank you to all Luxembourgers,” Bettel said after
the ceremony, as the crowd threw rice and confetti
over the couple.
As well as being the first leader in the 28-nation EU
to wed a gay partner, Bettel is only the second in
the world after Iceland’s Prime Minister, Johanna
Sigurdardottir, who married her writer partner in
2010.
Iceland is not part of the EU.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, who was
among the guests at Bettel’s wedding, said he had
come for a “mate’s wedding”, adding that it was a
“big moment” for his counterpart from the
neighbouring country.
“Luxembourg is giving the image of a country that
is advanced on social issues. That is a message
sent at a time when homophobia is on the rise
in Europe,” said another friend of the couple,
journalist Stephane Bern.
Luxembourg’s parliament approved same-sex
marriage in June 2014 and the first weddings took
place on January 1, 2015, making it the latest in a
growing number of European countries to embrace
the trend.
Bettel’s wedding comes the week before staunchly
Catholic Ireland holds a referendum on whether to
allow same-sex marriage.

may GOD save us all.

So disgusting...

The story mentions town hall, while the title mentions Church.

The Catholic Church, to my best knowledge, remains opposed to any perverted union.

I have no issue with gay social rights, as I do not hold a victim responsible for being a freak of nature. I however do not believe the blind have any business being eyewitnesses.

They spit on the very nature and cause of their own conception/life.

I would happily see Buhari and every man on my street turn gay and wed themselves if Nigeria as a country was a quarter as good as Luxemborg. How does it affect your life? Do you assume yourself better than him because you're heterosexual? Is your heterosexuality some kind of achievement?
