TL;DR Summary

Greece's parliament is set to vote on legalizing same-sex civil marriage, a first for an Orthodox Christian country, despite opposition from the influential Greek Church. The bill, backed by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' center-right government and four left-wing parties, is expected to pass with a comfortable majority. While most Greeks support the reform, there is opposition to extending parenthood through surrogacy to male couples. The main opposition comes from the traditionalist Church of Greece, which disapproves of the bill's implications for traditional family values. Despite potential protests and opposition, the same-sex marriage law is not expected to harm Mitsotakis' government politically.
