(The Local) A lesbian couple in County Östergötland has reported the county council to the Swedish Equality Ombudsman, for making them pay 3,000 kronor ($457) for two inseminations.
“When looking back we have felt pretty sad over the fact that it looks like this and that we are not seen as important as other couples,” the pair wrote in their report, according to local paper Norrköpings Tidningar.
The couple felt both badly treated and insignificant compared to heterosexual couples, for whom the treatment is free of charge, and have now reported the county council to the watchdog.
