Abstract
First paragraph: On 23 December 2015, a bill recognizing same-sex unions in Greece was passed with a substantial majority that exceeded 3/5 of the MPs, becoming law 4356/2015. This law marks the most recent expansion of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer) rights in Greece. Male same-sex sexual activity had actually been decriminalized already in 1951, but was not until 2005 that the LGBTQ community gained further rights, when a law prohibiting discrimination in employment based on sexual orientation was enacted.
