In December 2005, Latvia decided to constitutionally ban same-sex marriage.[1]
On 23 September 1999 the Latvian National Human Rights Office presented registered partnership bill. On 28 September 1999 the proposal was sent to the Human Rights and Public Affairs Commission of the Saeima (Parliament) of the Republic of Latvia for discussion.[2][3] On 30 November 1999 the commission rejected the bill.[4]
