@fortecadenza It's not recognized as a "real marriage", but as a "partnership". It's fairly close, but it just isn't the same. This probably has to do with the fact that churches still seem to be very important in Germany. At least all adults I've talked to seemed to be religious. So, long story short, you can legally be recognized as a gay couple but not married and are missing some small benefits straight married couples can get.
