Lesbian couple stages rooftop wedding in Tirana, Albania, amidst lack of LGBTQ rights recognition.

In a defiant act for LGBTQ rights in Albania, lesbian couple Alba Ahmetaj and Edlira Mara held a rooftop wedding in Tirana on May 19th. Albanian law does not recognize same-sex civil unions, which has sparked outrage from the political right and religious community. Despite this, the couple's wedding, held on the rooftop of the mayor's office, was a celebration of love and a cry for equality in the Muslim-majority Balkan country.
