Compared to the laws in the United States, Sweden's same-sex laws and LGBT rights are radically different. Sweden has been one of the most progressive countries in Europe on the topic. In fact, in a poll taken in October 2006, 71% of people living in Sweden supported marriage.
In 1995, Sweden permitted gay couples to register in a legal partnership. More recently, the largest church in Sweden, the Lutheran Church, has even offered to bless their partnerships.
In 2002, another law was passed allowing gay couples to adopt children from within the country and abroad.
In 2009, same-sex marriage laws were passed in Sweden.
