Test for Greek marriage law as mayor agrees to same-sex ceremony

Tilos many not be the best-known island in the Aegean Sea, but its mayor has made a bold move to put it on the map.

Tassos Alfieries has offered to perform Greece's first gay wedding, after two men announced their intention to wed in a newspaper notice.

Lesbian and gay rights activists argue that the law does not explicitly proclaim a civil union must take place between a man and a woman, and there were reports in March that a lesbian couple intended to get married.

Now, in the light of more speculation that the law does not exclude same-sex couples, a gay couple took the first official step toward marriage by taking out a newspaper announcement.  See Test for Greek marriage law as mayor agrees to same-sex ceremony
