The Bundestag majority approved marriage for all, but Chancellor Angela Merkel, just a few months before the elections, surprised everyone and opposed it, opening up to conscience voting. "For me, marriage is fundamentally a union between a man and a woman, and that's why I voted against," said Angela Merkel, after the vote in the Bundestag. “It has been a long, intense and emotional debate, and I hope there is respect for both sides,” she added.
In any case, it is a historic vote, in Germany, which he makes full equalization of gay unions with heterosexual marriages is possible. For gay marriage, 393 deputies voted yes, 226 voted no, and 4 abstained.
