"Liechtenstein’s parliament voted to legalize same-sex marriage on Thursday,
making it the 22nd country in Europe to do so.

Lawmakers in the German-speaking microstate voted nearly unanimously in favor
of the measure, with 24 of the 25 MPs supporting it, Liechtensteiner
Vaterland
 reported.

Daniel Seger, parliamentary group spokesperson for the conservative Progressive
Citizens’ Party in Liechtenstein, described the passage of the marriage law
amendment as a “big relief” after its second reading.

“We felt the pressure and the expectation that we should be the last
German-speaking country to introduce marriage for everyone,” he said. Germany,
Austria and Switzerland legalized same-sex marriage in 2017, 2019 and 2022,
respectively."
