An important article that's part of legislation to approve same-sex marriage
and adoption by gay couples in France sailed through the national assembly.
Voting 249-97, the lower house of the French parliament approved the article
that would grant marriage equality to France's same-sex couples. The
remainder of the legislation, which includes a contentious article to
legalize adoption by gays, will be debated in the coming week. The huge vote
in favor of gay rights appears to indicate the adoption provision will pass
too. The Roman Catholic Church is deeply opposed to the legislation. Read

Marriage equality and adoption by gays has been surprisingly controversial
in France, a supposed bastion of liberal attitudes. | g********d 发帖数: 4174 | |
