Subject: DENMARK: Political Marriage 


POLITICAL MARRIAGE

According to Danish news media an unusual couple was married at the 
Copenhagen Town Hall on Friday 22 September 1995. The man and women was 
namely the president and vice-president of the Danish national organisation 
for gay and lesbian rights (LBL), and the marriage was a political 
demonstration for gays and lesbians rights. 

By marrying they attain the right to adoption and artificial insemination 
at a public clinic. These right are still denied homosexual couples who 
have registrered their partnerships.


POLITISK BRYLLUP:
Det var ikke et helt almindeligt aegtepar, der blev gift paa Koebenhavns
Raadhus i dag. Manden og kvinden var nemlig henholdvis formand og
naestformand i Landsforeningen for Boesser og Lesbiske, og brylluppet var
en politisk demonstration for boesser og lesbiske rettigheder. Ved
brylluppet opnaar de nemlig ret til adoption og kunstig insemination paa
en offentlig klinik. Det kan man ikke i et registreret partnerskab.
