The Riigikogu, Estonia’s Parliament, passed a new law which legalizes marriage for same-sex couples, thus becoming the first post-Soviet country to do so. That this happened in the month of June, which is generally when most Pride parades take place around the world, is also highly symbolic and poignant.

On a related note Cuba legalized gay marriage last year.

Important to other baltic nations.

Also clear signal in light of Russia's new anti LGBTQ laws.
