Austria just became the latest nation to vote in favor of same-sex marriage.
On Tuesday,Movies CNN reported the country's top court ruled it will be legal for same-sex couples to marry, starting in 2019.

Austria's decision brings Europe one step closer to marriage equality acceptance, joining other nations like Spain, France, Germany, and the UK, that have already passed similar legislations.
In November, Australia also voted in favor of same-sex marriage, with a postal survey showing 61.6 percent of residents (7,817,247 people) voted yes to legalization, and 38.4 percent (4,873,987 people) voted no.
The Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Bill is set to be passed this week and Liberal MP Tim Wilson recently celebrated by proposing to his partner, Ryan Bolger, mid-debate.
Austria's current restricting law will reportedly be removed on Dec. 31, 2018, with the new marriage legislation kicking off 2019, going into effect on Jan. 1.
