Denmark, the first country in the world to allow gay partnerships way back in 1989, will soon allow full same-sex weddings to take place in churches after lawmakers voted 85 - 24 to update marriage laws. 

ABC News reports:

The law takes effect June 15 and will put Denmark on par with countries such as Iceland and Sweden that allow full wedding ceremonies for gay and lesbian couples.

In 1989, Denmark became the first country to allow the registration of gay partnerships. Since 1997 gay couples in Denmark can be wed in special blessing ceremonies at the end of regular church service.

Current laws allow gay couples to be married only in short ceremonies at Lutheran churches.
