German Minister of Justice wants full equality for gay couples
On Wednesday, September 24, the German Minister of Justice, Brigitte Zypries, outlined in a speech in front of the parliament the governments plan to continue the process to fully equalize hetero- and homosexual relationships. Since the Law on Relationships (Lebenspartnerschaftsgestz) was enacted in 2001 a huge step has been done into the right direction, she said, but there are still areas that need improvement .
Currently the Ministry of Justice is researching the possibilities to allow the adoption of children by couples who are not married in the traditional way.
