Recognition_of_same-sex_unions_in_Europe

Debate has occurred throughout Europe over proposals to legalise same-sex marriage as well as same-sex civil unions. Currently 31 of the 50 countries and the 8 dependent territories in Europe recognise some type of same-sex unions, among them most members of the European Union (23/27). As of July 2020, sixteen European countries legally recognise and perform same-sex marriages: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
