Gay married couple react to landmark EU rights ruling A gay married couple are celebrating after the EU's top court ruled that same-sex partners of EU citizens have the right to live in any member state whatever their nationality, even in countries that do not recognise gay marriage. Romanian Relu Coman and his American husband Robert Hamilton were married in Brussels in 2010 and two years later sought to move to Romania but authorities there refused to give Hamilton permission to live in the country for more than three months on the grounds that he could not be classified as Coman's spouse because the laws there do not recognise same-sex marriage.
