Gay Marriage will be legalized in which of the following countries by 2020?

[Hifly]

Gay marriage will be legal in every EU country thanks to a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights.

Umm you do realise that they've already ruled that an EU state is not obliged to legalise SSM because keeping marriage between one man and one woman does not constitute discrimination?

[Hifly]

Are they not allowed to ever rule on the issue again?

Because it's almost certain they would rule differently.

And under what precedent would they rule differently?

By 2020, in Germany "registered life partnerships" probably will have the same rights as married heterosexual couples, but it is possible, that they will not be officially called "marriages" for symbolic reasons (appeasement of large parts of the CDU/CSU) even then.

How can all of you German members claim this, when it's already clear since 2012 that about half the members of the Bundestag already fully support gay marriage? ........
When 3 out of 4 Germans, including 2 out of 3 CDU/CSU voters already support gay marriage, it's just a matter of time, in my opinion, before it'll become a legislative reality.

If you are so concerned about redefining marriage (in a country who's citizenship you don't even hold), why don't you write a letter to Dr Merkel explaining your issues.
If her office can be bothered to pay the postage fees to Sweden you may get a reply and maybe if she has a lot of time on her hands she might even personally sign it!

Very surprised Germany doesn't have it, though I guess the CDU would be fairly conservative on social matters (I could be wrong though).

Yep, the CDU is a socially conservative, Christian party. However, in Germany the focus is more geared towards full equality before the law (including full adoption rights) for same-sex couples as opposed to legalising same-sex marriage.
