Second lawsuit also flopped

They punted and said that it should be Parliament that changes the law Good luck with that

I'm sure the lawyer will keep trying though. C'mon Oesterreich

Actually, you can the US did it (just an example).

Lawsuits are how your country got civil partnership and full adoption rights in the first place. There just hasn't been a marriage case in the past few years. Usually, marriage comes first then adoption (sometimes at the same time), but Austria did it backwards.

The only thing standing in the way is just one lower court moving the case ahead so the Government can appeal and send it all the way up to the Constitutional Court who should side with couples

Yes you can every ******** law that has ever been over turned is because people kept forcing the issues until it could no longer be ignored. Just accepting **** is never the answer.

it is really strange to me how Germany and Austria are two of the most gay friendly countries in the world yet they don't allow equal marriage rights - gonna move away anyways, but still

What is Austria waiting for? They're more than ready. Same with Germany, Switzerland and Czech Republic.

Watch Vietnam or Taiwan have equal marriage before Austria does.

Perched for Taiwan ha groundbreaking moment

All that's needed is one lower court to accept the case then the real fight can continue all the way to the top

These local judges need to get with it.

Switzerland will ultimately go to voters so Parliament needs to pass the bill, write the referendum language and pick a date for a vote. I think next year at the earliest is when it may happen since they already held a referendum against marriage in 2016 (that luckily flopped )

But ATRL always tells me how much more progressive, tolerant and accepting Europe is compared to everywhere else, especially the United States.

Godstonia being the most progressive out of Eastern European countries
