In 2004, a new government took control of Spain. One of its goals was to make same-sex marriages legal. In 2005, the Spanish parliament passed a law allowing same-sex marriage. It also allowed gay couples to adopt children. On this date in 2005, they all became legal. By doing so, Spain became the third country in the world to pass this kind of law. Only the Netherlands and Belgium had already put this policy into practice. In the first year after the law was passed, nearly 4,500 gay couples got married in Spain.
2004年,西班牙 換了一個新政府來主事,這個新政府的目標之一便是要使同性婚姻合法化。2005年,西班牙議會通過允許同性婚姻的法案,同時也准許同性伴侶領養孩童。 2005年的今天,這一切都成為合法。西班牙因此成為世界上第3個通過這類法案的國家。在這之前,僅有荷蘭及比利時將這項政策付諸實行。在法案通過的頭一 年,西班牙有將近4千5百對同性伴侶結婚。
