Sonja Jógvansdóttir left the Social Democratic Party on 15 September 2015.
According to her it was because she couldn't live with the fact that her own party was the one who blocked the possibility of mentioning the possibility of Civil marriage between same-sex couples in the coalition-agreement between the three government parties.
[1] Jógvansdóttir was the first Faroese person who is openly homosexual, who has been elected to the Løgting.
