I love seeing all of them, but the older gents being able to have this after 41 years is beautiful.
It is so moving. I remember this day well. ❤
Rational northerners leading the way to equality for all.
😂❤irrational
@@dirkjensen969 you? Backwards you are lol
@@dirkjensen969 You didn't have to say you were a 12 year old child, but the comment says it all!
Truly an historic moment for Denmark and the world, leading the way to progress and equality
Viking land 🇩🇰
Denmark leading equality.
Had to be a nordic country
Old people in love are so cute 😊
I video taped this in '89 and watched it over and over! Wonderful
Love is love wherever you find it. I wish people could understand that and be more loving, more kind, more tolerant and more generious. All the best
Congratulations !!! ❤
The love is invincible.
Nordic countries, first in all.
Although there was still discrimination, for that time it was a huge step. Imagine how much hatred the LGBT community suffered back then... it was the high peak of aids... only twelve years later equal marriage started in the Netherlands... and the rest is history, still being made.
My husband and I got married in Arnhem in 2004. The official was very strange and clumsy. The worst part, however, was the first dance at the party. Very inconvenient and it seemed to take an hour. With all my extended Catholic family members (on my mother's and father's side) and all my husband's friends present.
Omg! That old couple are amazing :O Stayed together through thick and thin
This is why I admire Denmark if only majority of us will follow their mindsets at least our world maybe slightly become better somehow.
This is special 👏🏻👏🏻 progress and rationality is the way!
May they live forever!
And what a beautiful times it were! Seems like most of the people were open to progress, integration, human rights. You had well functioning welfare state and we in Poland wanted to join in. Back then what we now call populism was barely a margin of society. Now we all have wild capitalism, no regards for human lives - check Polish Belarusian border! We have racism as a way of live, crippling economies, housing crisis and our societies turned to populism en masse. Where is the Europe we in Poland were once so keen to ‘join’ ?
To be fair Poland and Hungary has been the major stopping block to the European progress for decades, its not Europes fault that you choose nationalistic governments.
@@MacDaddy8200 Sad but true:( i don't know why are people still so focus on "national" instead of seeking something greater.
Beautiful couple.😊
History! Love it!
An adorable couple. I wish to know where they are now
1:29 Eigil Axgil died in 1995 at the age of 73. Axel Axgil died on 29 October 2011 at the age of 96.
2:01 As of the couple wearing white suits, psychologist Ove Carlsen and Lutheran priest Ivan Larsen, they were still alive, and still together, in 2023, according to an article in Danish.
Beautiful 😊

Hello thank you for sharing this video. Hope to watch more videos from you ❤ have a great day my friend🥰 greetings from our family - Kapiso Mo Vlog 4:49
It's a legal contract. Why bring religion into it?
Because even though the places of faith do not recognize the religion of individuals - those individuals with faith still have faith... In Time some of these ceremonies where also done in churches (churches that allowed it to happen, and not something forced onto the congregation) - but the "contract" signing had to be done by someone who was not the pastor, an outside of the church guy, mixing the 2 together somewhat and after 22/23 years - the churches opened up for marriages there alongside the state - but the civil union was not unlike marriage - from 1989 there was 4 things that differed from marriage and civil unions - 1 being about adoption, which changed through the years, but at the getgo in 1989 it was not a right - also the right to be recognized outside Denmark was not a given - the last 2 i cant recall, but in reality being in a union was almost equal to marriage in the eyes of the state.
In 1989 the right to get a civil union was the goal, and then fight for the other (4) rights through time
Do you ask the same thing when a man and woman gets married in a church?
One of these guys is a Lutheran priest, my guess is that he brings religion into a lot of things in his life.
if its religion, (as it sound like it is for you) why bring a legal contract into it when you get marriged?

Just to add: The first couple, the Axgils, had an incredibly sordid secret: During the nazi occupation, Eigil volunteered to serve in the German uniform.
He was a campaigner to have Danish Nazi war-criminals brought to justice ffs.
@@hanstun1 THAT is a lie...why do you write it?
"In 2012, it was revealed that in the midst of Germany's occupation of Denmark during World War II, Eigil had enlisted in the Waffen-SS in 1943 and served with them until the end of the war.[3] Eigil Axgil was subsequently prosecuted for his Waffen-SS membership after the war but managed to keep it mostly to himself until Axel Axgil, rather reluctantly, confirmed it in his biography which was released in 2012." Wikipedia
Unfortunately not even gay people are immune to skilled nazi propaganda.
Just glad he realised he was wrong, and changed to make the word a better place instead..
@@hooooliee90 I know it is true...I remember the discussion about naming a Copenhagen Square after him. When his SS membership became known, the idea was killed faster than a cat in Haiti.
The comment about the lie was to Hanstun1, who wrote: ""He was a campaigner to have Danish Nazi war-criminals brought to justice ffs."".
Pathology.
This was the slippery slope to the classroom into the minds of children. now we have a mental health crisis. time to turn back the clocks to tradition and clean living
Silence, Connie
Please explain clean living ?
@@Phildouf It wont suit you, but we both already know what it is
Try me! What I do know is that you probably don’t respect half of what you’ll tell me is on that list of “clean living”!
Nevermind just did some research on you and it is abundantly clear you are NOT representing clean living! 😂
When I was living in Utah shortly after they had passed the one man one woman marriage law, my partner disco discovered that he and his twin sisters birth certificates were confused at birth and he was labeled as being the girl so I said we can go down to City Hall and get married because legally your woman I’m a man and he will have to marry us in Utah of all places we’d be on the front pages of every newspaper in America and the world.
Cool story, thanks for sharing.
😢
Don't cry, one day in your country maybe you can get married too. Although it may be hundreds of year behind the mordern world ;)

How did Northerners go from Viking badasses to Woke people of the rainbow? I am glad we are not big on these things in Eastern Europe where I live!
Conservative, shut up.
The Nordic countries realised that religious teachings and war mongering military folks are the worst things you can follow. So they created a more human society instead.
Cry harder + cope
In Nordic mythology the rainbow "Bifrost", guarded by Heimdal, is the connection between Asgård (realm of the gods) and Midgård (realm of the mortal humans).
narrowminded homophob.. but you know , you have most likely already been manhandled by one of the many priests in your own country so the projection is real...
HELLYEAH
