[quote]The French National Assembly has begun a marathon debate on legalising same-sex marriage after months of public protests and counter-protests.

The bill, promised by President Francois Hollande during his election campaign last year, allows for same-sex marriage and adoption by gay parents.

Mr Hollande's Socialists and their allies command enough parliamentary support to see it through.[/quote]

Look at this fucking shit:

[quote]During the first day of the debate, Jacques Bompard, assembly member for the extreme-right National Front party proposed at least seven amendments, including establishing polygamy and incest.

In his amendments Bompard said ‘if we follow the reasoning of the government, then … it … should remove all other restrictions … and discrimination based on’, the number of people entering marriage (ie polygamy), incest, and age (ie child marriage).

Bompard also suggested that civil marriage should be supressed.[/quote]

I love how that one guy hijacked the protest to show his "Estelle will you marry me" sign.

EDIT: Wait that's a girl tha- oh it makes sense.

I honestly don't see how this is a debate.

"We must give these human beings the same rights that other human beings have"

"no, because."

I just honestly can't imagine anything to go after that because.
Sanctity of marriage? lol no.

Slippery slope? bro you crazy
