PARIS (AP) — French lawmakers have legalized same-sex marriage after months of bruising debate and street protests that brought hundreds of thousands to Paris.

Tuesday's 331-225 vote came in the Socialist majority National Assembly. France's justice minister, Christiane Taubira, said the first weddings could be as soon as June.

Opponents of the law say France is not ready to legalize adoption for same-sex couples, and polls show a France sharply divided on the issue.

“I would imagine the recipient, whether female or male, would be sick also? Does this apply to Lewinsky’s also?”

Of course, but Lewinsky was young and indoctrinated that sodomy is normal sex. Any man that prefers anal sex with a woman is a closet case, whether he admits it or not. This was almost unheard of before the culture was bombarded with pornography 30 odd years ago. The pornographers want everyone to believe anal sex is normal, but anyone with a brain knows it’s not.

You honestly believe that consensual heterosexual anal and oral sex was not prevalent over 30yrs ago?

they hate for some reason the family they want Govt to be the family and hate it if a couple has more than a couple of kids.

The communists had this written down back in 63 and yet we still get those who pretend to be conservative using bumper sticker slogans to push this agenda

If you are unwilling to state that something is morally wrong, and no one wants to hear that its morally wrong, then you have no argument that will hold.

Interesting, they didn't say those people were "Against" it.
