French parliament backs main clause in gay marriage law

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 02 Februari 2013 | 07.20

PARIS: The French parliament on Saturday adopted the main clause of a reform bill that would allow same-sex marriage and grant gay couples the right to adopt children.

Deputies voted 249-97 to back the clause eliminating opposite gender as a condition of the right to marriage.

The draft law, the first major social reform of Francois Hollande's presidency, has sparked major protests in France.

Several hundred thousand people massed at the Eiffel Tower in Paris last month to protest against the plan.

More than 5,000 amendments have been presented for the reform bill, which deputies began debating on Tuesday.

The debate is expected to last two weeks. Socialist deputies had originally planned to amend the marriage bill to include access to assisted reproduction techniques for lesbians, but pulled back when this idea appeared especially controversial and threatened to hinder the wider marriage reform.

However, opinion polls have shown the number of people supporting the legalisation of same-sex marriage in France has risen despite the protests.

The proportion of those supporting the change in the law rose to 63 per cent in late January from 60 percent in early January and December, according to a poll.
