Heart France: Same-Sex Marriage

heart france: It's an appeal that many nations the U.S. included have since taken to heart, according to Metro News. France legalized same-sex marriage in 2013. This was comedian Wanda Sykes' simple, logical appeal to socially conservative Americans in the late 2000s who opposed gay marriage. Ireland did the same by popular vote in 2015 and earlier this year, Taiwan's highest court ruled in favour of same-sex marriage, paving the way for legalization. In a historic, non-binding two-month-long postal vote, the results of which were released this week, Australians declared that they would overwhelmingly support a law enabling gay couples to marry. Oh and just the other day, Australia proved that it too can be a thoroughly decent place. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
