What is the influence of EU legislation on the law regarding marriage?

Please help me I can't find any information on this at allWhat is the influence of EU legislation on the law regarding marriage?Family in the EU was at first for heterosexual marriages. Grant V Southwest trains (1998) the EU refused to extend equal pay to cover discrimination because of sexual orientation. The EU stated that members are not in agreement about the stability of relationships of people of the same sex. The court is however moving away from this in recent times. In Safet Eyup V Landesge- Schaftsstelle des Arbeitsmarktservice Vorarlberg (2000) the court decided that the time spent together as a couple as well as a married couple must be taken in to account. Although this case was about heterosexual couples it was a step forward for same sex couples as well. Another step forward was taken with Goodwick v UK (2000) when it was decided that if a person has had full gender reassignment surgery then they must be treated as their new sex for marriage along as they have a Gender Recognition Certificate under the Gender Reassignment Act (2004)What is the influence of EU legislation on the law regarding marriage?You will find just what you are looking for here. http://europa.eu/index_en.htm It is all good, nothing bad.
