As the marriage equality bill is being debated and voted on article by article, tonight the French Senate approved the portion of the bill that guarantees adoption rights to same-sex couples.
Anti-gay groups had been hoping this aspect of the bill would be their last stronghold.
Happily, they were wrong.
From Le Monde:
Après l'adoption de l'article 1 du projet de loi sur le "mariage pour tous", ouvrant la voie au mariage homosexuel, le Sénat a donné son feu vert, mercredi 10 avril, à l'adoption par des couples de même sexe. Les débats ont été monopolisés par les sénateurs de droite, qui ont affirmé à nouveau que l'adoption de ce texte ouvrirait la voie à la procréation médicale assistée (PMA) et à la gestation pour autrui (GPA) puisque, selon Gérard Roche, "il n'y a pas assez d'enfants adoptables".
Here's what Bing translator says that means:
After the adoption of article 1 of the draft law on "marriage for all" paving the way for same-sex marriage, the Senate gave its go-ahead Wednesday, April 10, to adoption by same sex couples. The debates were monopolized by the right senators, who said again that the adoption of this text would pave the way to the assisted medical procreation (PMA) and surrogacy (GPA) since, according to Gérard Roche, "there not enough adoptable children".
In any case - Vive la France!
Forward!
