Symbolically, the law, known as the “Taubira law” after Minister of Justice Taubira, who introduced it, will bear the date of May 17th, 2013: the “International Day against Homophobia.” The decision by the Constitutional Counsel to release their verdict on the law the same day as a global pro-LGBT event is being seen as a sign that the Counsel, which is supposed to play a role similar to that of the American Supreme Court in verifying that new legislation is compatible with the French Constitution, made a political and par

PARIS, April 12, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - The French Senate gave final approval this morning to legislation permitting same-sex couples to “marry” and adopt children. Several amendments were made to the text approved by the National Assembly in February, making a second reading necessary in the National Assembly.

PARIS, November 12, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The cardinal archbishop of Paris has pledged that he and other Catholics of France will oppose the Socialist government ’s plans to rewrite the marriage law.

He said same-sex “marriage” would harm the equilibrium of French society and of children: “It will not be ‘marriage for all’,” he said, citing the government’s slogan, “it will be the marriage of a few imposed on all.” The cardinal urged the government to focus on urgent economic matters that matter to the peo

Assembly representatives voted against the bill, proposed by socialists, by a majority of 293 to 222.  The vote follows a ruling in January by the nation’s highest court, the Constitutional Council , stating that homosexual “marriage” is not a constitutional right. Although a recent and much-cited poll found that a majority of French voters, 58 percent, favor the creation of homosexual “marriage,” Michel Difenbacher of the majority Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) party said he thought it not necessary “to go with the wind nor to cede to fashion” with regard to the issue. “We are against homophobia but we do not want to alter the image and function of marriage” within society, Difenbacher said. Christian Vanneste and Brigette Bareges, also of the UMP, were more blunt in their negative assessment of
