On this day, October 1st, in 1989, the very first same-sex civil union took place in Denmark.
The legal name was "registered partnership."
Sounds loving, doesn't it? But it was the first step in a long journey.
At the time, Eigil Axgil said, "Be open, come out, keep fighting. This is the only way to move anything. If everyone comes out of the closet, then this will happen everywhere."
