Poland saw it’s first female-female wedding at the weekend: except that one of the women involved was legally a man.

Ania, a transgendered female married Greta, a lesbian. But as a transgendered person in Poland is legally defined by their original gender, the marriage between the couple was that of a man and a woman.

Nevertheless, the union has been heralded by sexual minority activists as ground breaking in Poland.

But as Magdalena Jensen reports, many conservatives are outraged, though both sides say the law should be cleared up in Poland on this issue.

“If I were a turtle that means [in this case] my wife married a turtle. But she didn’t: she married a human. Ms Greta married Mr. Anna. And, thank God, Polish law does not allow same-sex marriages,” says Tomasz Terlikowski, editor-in-chief of the rightwing Fronda.pl web site. (pg)
