Luxembourg PM Becomes First EU Leader To Wed Gay Lover

Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel has married his gay partner, becoming the first leader in the European Union to enter into a same-sex union in a symbol of growing social change across the continent.

Bettel, 42, a centre-right politician who became premier in 2013, tied the knot today with Gauthier Destenay, a Belgian architect, just months after the Roman Catholic duchy legalised gay weddings.


The prime minister and his partner held hands as they arrived for the low key ceremony at the Luxembourg town hall, where around 100 well-wishers applauded them.
