Estonia has become the first ex-Soviet state - and only the second country in Central and Eastern Europe - to legalise same-sex marriage. The amendment to the country's Marriage Act was passed with a clear majority in parliament, just two months after the liberal coalition government under Prime Minister Kaja Kallas took office.
