Latvian lawmakers voted to allow same-sex civil unions, providing same-sex couples with legal recognition for the first time. However, they'll still have fewer rights than married couples.

The legislation allows same-sex couples to register their partnership, giving them hospital visitation rights as well as tax and social security benefits, but not the right to adopt or inheritance. It's due to take effect in mid-2024.
