France approves same-sex marriage and adoption bill

France's Socialist government has approved a bill to legalise same-sex marriage and allow gay couples to adopt.

The bill, opposed by more than 1,000 mayors and the Catholic Church, will be debated by parliament in January.

France already allows civil unions between same-sex couples, but it was a campaign pledge of President Francois Hollande to extend their rights.

This week just keeps getting better.

I hope it passes, people need to stop focusing on "religious" marriage and focus more on civil marriage.

Cause "religions" all define marriage in a monotholic block, amright?

Anyways, beyond that, good on the Franks.

The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.
