What did lawmakers vote for?
The marriage bill has seen multiple rounds of debate since 2013. The approved wording of the bill allows gays and lesbians to marry. It will also allow lesbians to access sperm donations.
Under current legislation, same-sex couples can enter into registered partnerships. This does not provide the same rights as marriage, including rights to obtain citizenship and the joint adoption of children.
Lawmakers also voted to simplify legal name and gender marker changes on identity documents. Trans and intersex people will now be able to do this by making a declaration at civil registry offices without the need for a court or a doctor. This is known as self-ID, according to the advocacy group Transgender Europe.
