Haris Kastanidis and same-sex couples will be able to legally live together under the protection of the Greek State.

movement is been characterized as positive by homosexuals and in the Greek newspaper TO VIMA I can read a small interview made by Mr. George Tsitiridis who is responsible for the ''Screw'' magazine and the website www.gayworld.gr. Tsitiridis stresses that these issues
