Albanian Lesbian Couple Holds Symbolic Wedding to Advocate For LGBTQ+ Rights
Lesbians Alba Ahmetaj and Edlira Mara held an unofficial wedding ceremony on Sunday, May 19, On the roof of the mayor's office in Albania's capital Tiran. It marked a symbolic moment that they hope will promote LGBTQ+ rights in the conservative Balkan country. Same-sex marriage is currently prohibited in Albania, a predominantly Muslim nation. The couple faced a barrage of hate speech when they announced their wedding on social media. An EU report last year showed, that around 40% of the Albanian LGBTQ+ community faced discrimination. Alba Ahmetaj and Edlira Mara are also fighting to be legally recognised as joint parents of their twin daughters.
