Tove Jansson attended the Independence Day celebrations in Presidential Palace, Helsinki together with her life partner Tuulikki Pietilä in 1979. This celebration is an important tradition in Finland and the broadcast is one of the most watched shows on Finnish TV each year.

They were the first same-sex couple to ever attend this celebration. The press of the time accused the couple of disgracing the event. Keep in mind, that homosexuality was punisheable by law in Finland until 1971 and was officially listed as a disease until 1981. Even in recent years there have been those who have expressed opinions against same-sex couples attending Independence Day celebrations together.

Let their example inspire you as well.

Same-sex marriage becomes legal in Finland on March 1, 2017!
