French Senate to debate same-sex marriage

The French Senate will debate a controversial bill Thursday that would extend the right to marry and adopt to same-sex couples.

The lower house has already approved the legislation, in the face of large demonstrations from those opposed to the measure.

If it passes the Senate, it would mark the biggest step forward for French gay rights advocates in more than a decade.

    Observing the societal decay in debauched America, Frenchmen would do well to heed the negative example of America and follow a different path. Egalitarianism is a fool's errand.
