France has just upheld a ban on gay marriage. France does have civil unions and according to the article 58% of the French population are in favor of the idea.
I've noticed a conservative streak in French politics in recent years that more than a little reminds me of some of what we see here in the US. I'm actually a bit surprised at this since I'd got them impression that European governments were fairly open on this issue. But I suppose I was just generalizing too much.
Anyway, I suspect that much like it is here, the French government is taking a more conservative stance than one actually called for by the majority of the people.
