FRANCE PLEDGES TO LEGALIZE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE AND ADOPTION

Good news from gay Pair-ee: Francois Hollande, France’s new, lefty president, wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted to legalize same-sex marriage and same-sex adoption in the country. Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault released a statement on Friday, just in time for Paris Pride 2012, promising to put this mess on the books by 2013. No date has been specified for when that will happen, but it’s a step in the right direction. Even Perez is excited!
