The Vice President of the European Commission has said he wants all 28 EU countries to recognise or legalise same-sex marriage.

Speaking at an Equality Gala in Brussels hosted by ILGA-Europe, Dutch politician Frans Timmermans said the ultimate goal was to get all states to "unreservedly" embrace equality.

Currently, the majority of the 28 EU member states continue to ban same-sex marriage – but it is legal in Belgium, France, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

****************************************
With the SCOTUS ruling in the US, it looks like critical mass for marriage equality has been reached. Now is the time to push harder for Trans-Equality. JMHO.
