54.4% in favor is quite disappointing, but it's good that it passed nonetheless.

Quite a slim majority, but stil great news! Hopefully it'll become more normalized and accepted a bit faster now.

Really happy for everyone finally being able to marry their partner. :)

Great news! Sounds like some who have been in a civil union are going to get married.

The Nordics don't seem to agree. It's still a poor and fairly conservative country with lots of pro-russian people.

Not really poor and not really conservative, just not so liberal

Incredibly low margin. It's a step forward, but it's a long road ahead.

Uplifting news.

It's fantastic news! Although big part of society is against it, their opinion should not block basic human rights. 🥳
