So in other words you believe cultural tradition should trump equality and fairness in lawmaking.

There is no discriminatory language in marriage law. Both male and female have equal opportunity to marry each other.

What is ironic is the movie that was award the highest honour is a lesbian coming of age story.

That's because the powers that be is hellbent on shoving this gay agenda down our throats :jada:

Spielberg said

Whether it plays in the US was not a criterion for our choices. We just liked that someone had the courage to tell the story. Politics were not in the room with us. I think this film carries a very positive message. It has a perfect choice of actresses and Kechiche is an incredibly observant and sensitive film maker.

Calm down, just because people promote and stand up for gays to have the same rights as you doesn't mean you'll lose focus on doing the straight things you did before.

Anyway, if I were a French person I'd move to Switzerland -- a better country.
Oh really brè ?

Switzerland, where white sheep want to kick black sheep out of the country "for more security" ("sicherheit schaffen") ?
In 2011, SVP made 26.6% of the votes and represents more than a quarter of the population (the strongest party there) for a decade now.

I ain't moving nowhere.

Almost all of the crimes that happen in Switzerland are by foreigners. So naturally they won't stricter immigration laws. They don't want unemployed, uneducated bums fukking up the country. Germany has a similar problem.

One thing I've learned about this country (Paris) is that while it's very progressive in many parts its also very religious in many others. I had the pleasure of visiting the Notre Dame cathedrals and my God! What a site to behold. Truly amazing! I'll be posting pics in the camera thread, btw. Anyways, I realized that there is a deeply religious community all over Europe, and they make up a sizeable majority here in France. I wouldn't be suspended if the gay marriage legalization gets overturned once Hollande is out. Regardless, it should be interesting to follow this and see how this plays out. Unlike America when people are upset they let their voices be heard. Most Americans are too caught up in the grind to give a damn.

First of, Paris is NOT France.
There a real love/hate feeling towards this city from every other parts of France. Because it's where the elite lives and where every administrations are, thus all political decisions are taken there country-wise.
Plus parisians have a bad reputation when they go everwhere else in France. It's like NYC to the US.

[...]Anyways, I realized that there is a deeply religious community all over Europe and they make up a sizeable majority here in France.
May be right, depending of the studies.
France was a deeply roman catholic country from 496 (and Clovis I, the king who united all the Franks, converted for the first time to christianism and was baptized at Christmas day that year) to 1905 (and the law about the separation of the state and the church).
Roman catholicism is still the biggest religion here but it loses members as time goes, I think there will be more atheists/agnostists (?) than christians in France by 2020)

The 1905 law meant that religion would never have any political power ever and that the state will never interfere in religious businesses defining specific and impermeable spheres to each of these powers. France is since then a lay (it's "laïc" (laheek) in french... couldn't find the proper term, secularist maybe ?) republic which means there is no state religion and religion is dismissed as a political force.

Laicism ("laïcité" (laheecitay)) is a foundation of modern France (like the US amendements) that's the reason the public places (mayor offices, post offices, ministries, hospitals, schools etc.) don't accept any "seeable" religious signs from their members and people who attend it (veils, crosses, kippahs etc.).
I.e, a muslim woman has to unveil herself once she passes the school door, there can not be christian crosses at the mayor's office, or a jewish doctor can not wear a kippah for example...
It may be weird to y'all americans, but that's the french way. :yeshrug:

Never happening, ever, ever, ever.
1. Hollande has 4 years to stay.
Realistically, in 2017, gay marriage won't be an issue any more. There is a tension at the moment, because the church has finally waken up from its coma state and the right has finally something to chew on since the Sarkozy defeat, but it won't last.
2. An estimated 5000/6000 gay marriages a year are about to happen during those 4 years (and after), that's at least 20k marriages. What will the right do with those marriage ? Divorce them by force ? Unmarry them ? It's legally impossible at 99.99999% to overturn that law. Copé (leader of the right party, UMP) said that if they win in 2017, he would overturn that. He only said so to surf the anti-gay marriage wave and many people from it's own party disavowed him... Dude is an lawyer, he knows damn well he won't able to do so.
3. Gay marriage is a problem for a minority of the French.
