Germany currently gives same sex couples rights through registered life partnerships (Eingetragene Lebenspartnerschaft). These partnerships do not provide the full rights of marriage. In 2013, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that gays and lesbians should be allowed to adopt children already adopted by their partners.

No, but we should also abolish legal marriages and legitimatize religious marriages.
@9FCJ7L41yr1Y
Do what you want. But dont get marriage benefits like reduced taxes and so on
@9FBRK6Q1yr1Y
Substitute marriage with a partnership arrangement
@9LZHSM28mos8MO
People can do as they please, but God made it to be a man and a woman. There's no need to get political about it.
@9CSJ78W1yr1Y
I don’t care, do whatever you want
@99HJ88B2yrs2Y
Non religious marriage should be legal for everyone. Same sex marriage is not allowed in every religion
@8V6XYSB3yrs3Y
No, and punish all who violate the law
@8TTJGS83yrs3Y
I don't particularly care about it
