Estonia has become the first ex-Soviet country to legalise same-sex marriage, with amendments to its Family Law Act passing in parliament. From January 1, 2024, marriages can take place between any two people, regardless of sex, and same-sex couples can also adopt children. The move was welcomed by Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who said it showed the country was "caring and respectful". A Pew Research Center report stated that 30 other nations have legalised gay marriage.
