If only they’d done this 3300 years ago, Achilles and Patroclus could have lived happily in Phthia instead of dying for the patriarchy.
This is great news. Good for Greece.
The old people of Greece are very conservative, in general.
The young people are generally progressive, but in a way most Americans might not recognize. Much of the youth of Greece align themselves with Russia, because socialism = good (bad logic on many levels).
And by the same token, much of the youth of Greece is fairly anti-usa, since they're the historical enemy of Russia.
But, I hope this march toward increased tolerance continues.
Wait, I'm Greek and I haven't noticed such thing.🤔 We just share the same religion for the most part of the population.
Greece is in Nato too btw.
I'd say the people are about as friendly to Russia as they are to USA, (probably even less after the war).🤷
Do young Greeks align themselves with Russia on same-sex marriage too, or do they make an exception there?
Convenient exception
Not really. Young Greeks are anti-usa because of all the fascist things going on over there right now. Old religious Greeks might find themselves aligning themselves with Russians because Russians are also orthodox. But young Greeks are most certainly against Russia as it is right now. Most of them are pro-europe and probably leaving on flocks. Abandoning ship.
Much of the youth of Greece align themselves with Russia, because socialism = good (bad logic on many levels).
Easy to see how this came to be, too. So many of Greece's problems come from within, but it's easier to blame the EU's bungled austerity measures as the source of all problems. And when you resent the EU, Russia seems like a convenient friend to have.
Somehow my brain skipped over the word "Same" and went 'waah?'
Sex Marriages are very uncommon (at least according to random memes found on the internet)
Great news. I had thought the relatively high population of devout orthodox Christians would hinder any efforts towards that, but it's reassuring to see another country moving forward while others seem to keep regressing.
I'm just a Greek American, but I would assume it's mostly a cultural thing more than an actual belief in God. I was an ordained alter boy and my church was kind of a "training" congregation for years before we got a permanent priest. A lot of the guys who came through used the seminary as a way to get out of whatever Balkan backwater they grew up in.
Movement in the right direction

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
