On 3 December 2004 the Senate (higher chamber of Polish parliament) allowed gay and lesbian people to register their relationships as Civil unions.
Parties to a civil union shall be given a great range of benefits, protections and responsibilities (e.g. pension funds, joint tax and death-related benefits), granted at the moment only to spouses in a marriage. However, they shall not be allowed to adopt children.
The bill is now expected to find its way to the lower chamber of Polish parliament (the Sejm).
