Another country

There is a big debate this week in France : a french gay lives with his boyfriend in the Netherlands. Gays in this country can get married but in my country you can't. Following dutch-french regulations voted in 1985 and re-examinated in 1996, either of citizen who marries his beloved from the other country looses his nationality except by special request. This goes for straight couples. The newly married french gay goes to the french consulate to renew his ID. France makes its investigation before delivering the paper and finds out. Result : the french looses his french nationality. From every politcal side in France is coming violent discusions stating that in the european community France is far behind other countries (Spain, UK and Belgium authorize as well gay marriage). President of France said during his campaign that he will do something regarding this matter but how can he satisfy a majority (and I am surprised people believed in it) when the right side is strongly attached to the traditional scheme daddy-mummy-baby ? He engaged himself in a third way proposing a "civil union" (?!) speaking of a recognition of the gay love (can't we simply talk about love ?) to guarantee equality (for example regarding succession). Strangely in 1999 France was one of the leader when PACS was created (civil contract, other countries followed the example) but when it was expected gay to adopt and use it, it had more success with straights. A gay marriage has been in 2004 celebrated in France by a mayor (ecologist) but was illegaly pronounced by french justice. Most of the political left side tenors announced proudly that they are favorable for gay marriage and adoption as well as 60% of french people. Surprisingly the effective reaction was to improve the PACS when no-one before this event saw utility to do so. As per today french government will not move.
