It's a start to expanding acceptance to all people in their country... I hope.

In my lifetime, I would like to see SSM become legal in at least one Muslim-majority country.

I think that's a bit optimistic, if technically true. The same sort of true as "even the longest journey starts with a single step".

Fingers crossed for Bosnia, then.


Quote:

On 19 October 2018, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) adopted a request for the legalisation of civil unions. "The said item was on the session agenda and it was adopted in the same form as it was proposed," FBiH Prime Minister Fadil Novalić said. The Government will now form a working group to analyse the proposal, which will need to be later adopted by the Parliament.[9] According to research, about 80% of Bosniak same-sex couples wish to have their relationships recognised.
