French gay marriage ban upheld by constitutional court
 

The French constitutional court has upheld a ban on gay marriage, which was challenged by a lesbian couple with four children.The court ruled that the ban, challenged by Corinne Cestino and Sophie Hasslauer, was in keeping with the constitution.

Activists had hoped France would join states like Spain and Belgium in legalising same-sex marriage.

The idea that the court should rule at all on gay marriage was condemned by the leader of France's far-right National Front, Marine Le Pen.

Sometimes the French drive me crazy with their pride and stubborness. And sometimes they impress me with their pride and healthy reason. If I would have married a French girl, I assume my life never would have been a subject of boredom. :DL

Amazing... the one place in the world where the women are as hairy as the men, their natural instinct is to surrender, and they grow a backbone on this one.

Well done French type people...

Good job, bigots!

Seems to be the way the law is at the mo in France. I guess they'll move to change it at some point.

No problem, as soon as the muslims take over that country they'll ban it--off with their heads.

I'd not dare to enter that conversation if my country was the worldwide symbol of decadence. :O:

There, I agree, rarely routine days, :yep:

A confirmation from a German and a Sweed, off I go to france :DL

I`m guessing you are between 50 and 60 years old? Or 60+?

Behave yourself now, Reece is a young and vital, :DL

If you mean was I raised with good morals then yes!!:yep:
Yeh baby yeh!!:03::88)

Good for France. It's their country, let them handle their own affairs.
