Merkel won’t bring same-sex marriage to Germany

(INDEPENDENT) — The German government has ruled out legalising same-sex marriage after pressure from opposition parties in light of Ireland’s law change.

German Greens/Alliance 90 leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt called on Ms Merkel’s Christian Democrat-led government to follow Ireland, telling Die Welt: “It’s time … this is a great signal from Ireland.”

But a spokesperson for Ms Merkel told the Reuters news agency that it was not a goal of the government to bring in marriage equality.

“Today was an important milestone in dismantling discrimination and the chancellor is pleased about that… but same-sex marriages are not a goal of this government.
