The mayor of the Greek island of Tilos has performed civil marriage ceremonies for a lesbian (but not, apparently, Lesbian) couple and a male couple, despite a senior prosecutor's warnings that he did so in violation of Greek law. The mayor was not exactly pulling a Gavin Newsom; unlike California in 2004, Greece has no specific ban on marrying people of the same sex.
The press is calling these"the first same-sex marriages in the country." Well, certainly the first in several centuries.
