[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 3352604, member: 12952"] [URL="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/08/bermuda-repeal-same-sex-marriage"]Bermuda becomes first jurisdiction in the world to repeal same-sex marriage[/URL] [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/world/bermuda']Bermuda[/URL] has become the first jurisdiction to legalise and then repeal same-sex marriage. Bermuda’s Senate and House of Assembly [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/14/bermuda-to-end-same-sex-marriage-and-replace-with-domestic-partnership']passed the legislation by wide margins[/URL] in December and a majority of voters opposed same-sex marriage in a referendum. “The act is intended to strike a fair balance between two currently irreconcilable groups in Bermuda, by restating that marriage must be between a male and a female while at the same time recognising and protecting the rights of same-sex couples,” said Walton Brown, Bermuda’s minister of home affairs. Only about half a dozen same-sex marriages have taken place in Bermuda since May 2017 . But same-sex couples will now have the option only of a registered domestic partnership. Brown said those couples would had “equivalent” rights to married heterosexual couples, including the right to make medical decisions on behalf of one’s partner. [/QUOTE]
