France's
new prime minister yesterday vowed to fulfill the promise of
just-elected President Francois Holland (above right) and implement
full civil marriage equality for same-sex couples.
A
communiqué issued by the office of the prime minister, Jean-Marc
Ayrault, who took office on 15 May, marked the International Day Against
Homophobia and Transphobia yesterday with a pledge to put the
president’s manifesto promise into law. It said: “On the occasion of
International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, the Prime Minister
reaffirmed the Government’s commitment against violence and
discrimination perpetrated as a result of sexual orientation or gender
identity. The Government is determined to challenge prejudice and to
put an end to discrimination and violence. It will implement the commitment of the President of the Republic to the right to marriage and adoption to gay couples.”
How soon the process might begin is not yet known.
