In some countries gender-neutral marriage legislation has been passed, offering equal possibilities for same-sex couples. Such a law has also been discussed in Sweden and was the subject of a government inquiry which published its findings in 2007. During the spring of 2009 proposals for introducing legislation in line with the recommendations of the inquiry were made in parliament and a new act was passed. The gender-neutral legislation came into effect from 1st May 2009.
