I was thinking the exact same thing! It would make sense too...
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;40829101]
By the way, an important precision : this marriage pretty much seals the law as irremovable. It's now absolutely impossible to remove the law because it would create new inequality (for now, only for this one gay couple) which is strictly forbidden by our constitution.[/QUOTE]
Well looks like that violent anti-gay protest threw a hissy fit for nothing then.
[QUOTE=Hellduck;40833928]"not that dumb" "against adoption by gay couples"
you can understand my confusion, surely?[/QUOTE]
They have their arguments. It's not just "lol gays can't adopt because fuck gays", they actually have their reasons. Whether they are right or wrong isn't really relevant here because they remain calm and present actual arguments (the violent manifestation thing was caused by actual homophobes, not these guys who oppose adoption), even more so since their opinion is now officially irrelevant.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40847827]i'm curious, what are their reasons besides fuck gays? because if it's religion based or only a man and a woman can raise a child (also bullshit due to all the single moms and dads) i'm still assuming their reasoning is fuck gays[/QUOTE]
Their argument is that couples consisting of two mothers or two fathers are not optimal for raising children and are probably just going to end up fucking up the adopted child more than anything.
And no I don't agree with a single word of that. But at least they have a sort of argument, better than just going all out homophobic on everyone and doing what the bloody hell happened during that last riot in Paris.
[QUOTE=Yahnich;40847887]i don't know about their reasoning, sometimes single moms who can't have kids get adopted children and i don't see how that's better than gay adoption but whatever
hell i'm pretty sure i read that homosexual animals basically adopt everyone's unwanted children once
oh france[/QUOTE]
Yeah Penguins do that a lot, gay couples sometimes form out of nowhere and some other couple always ends up giving away an egg for the couple to take care of.
By the way prior to this law (it may have changed it, dunno), it was very rare to see single people adoption, same for non-married couples (and by that I mean no marriage and no civil union whatsoever) because they would be as low as one can be on the priority list for parents.
Wasn't gay marriage legalized in Britain or England? Because I thought there was some major vote about it a while ago but it still says we haven't so I dunno.
