Tasos Aliferis, the mayor of tiny Greek island Tilos, may face jail time for allowing gay marriage on his island, a first for the nation. Though the Minister of Justice declared the weddings illegal, Aliferis is sticking to his guns: "I consulted the Greek civil code and the constitution and verified that there is no law against same-sex marriages. The laws on marriage simply do not specify any genders. To me, therefore, if something is not banned by law it is not illegal." [Telegraph]

Damn right, Ali.
It's not banned, it's not illegal.
Actually, if you read all he said, it's quite moving and eloquent, and calls for Greeks not to forget that many human rights were conceived there…
