(Sweden) - The Moderate Party, the largest party in Sweden's coalition government, has thrown its support behind same-sex marriage. The party's board voted in favour of a gender-neutral marriage law on Friday. The party also wants to retain religious groups' rights to carry out legally binding marriage ceremonies. Individual priests will be allowed to choose whether to marry same-sex couples. The board's decision will be put to the party's conference in October. If approved, the only party in parliament not to support same sex marriage will be the Christian Democrats.
