BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

> This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺 Would be really cool if it were true, but no, that's still a fight we have to fight domestically. This just forces them to recognise marriage from other countries. A gay couple in Poland still cannot get married in Poland.

They can get married in Poland simply by crossing the border to Germany and getting the marriage license there. It's the same situation as in Israel. It de-facto grants gay marriage.

> They can get married in Poland simply by crossing the border to Germany This is a) not in Poland and b) the "simply" there is doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's good that it's an option *for some people* but it's not enough. This is "just go abroad for an abortion" rhetoric but for gay marriage.

There is also still a *huge* amount of wiggle room for individual member states to determine what recognising a gay marriage actually entails in their domestic law.
