France is set to join neighbours Belgium and Spain by legalising same-sex marriage following an announcement by the new French Prime Minister that legislation had already been drafted.
法国的下一届总理曾经做过竞选承诺一旦上任就立法同性婚姻,如今他当选了,也意味着法国即将加入他的邻国:比利时和西班牙,成为下一个承认同性婚姻的国家。
The reform has the support of the new French President Francois Hollande, whose party is expected to have a majority in both houses of Parliament following elections over the next two weeks.
Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault (pictured) told a French television station yesterday that a change in legislation to allow gay couples to marry and adopt children will be done “quickly” and that a draft is “ready”.
新总理昨天在电视上宣布一个对于目前同性婚姻和领养法案的修改的草案已经准备好了。
Gay and straight French couples can currently enter Civil Solidarity Pacts but only straight couples can marry.
同性恋和异性恋在法国都可以进行民事结合,但是只有异性恋可以结婚。
The pacts afford many legal protections but do not give couples the right to joint adoption or artificial insemination.
“Support for reform is lower in France than it is in Australia, yet their political leaders understand the urgency and importance of equality,” Australian Marriage Equality national convenor Alex Greenwich said.
尽管在法国,公众对于修改婚姻宪法的支持率低于澳洲公众,但是法国的政治家们理解平等的重要性和紧迫性。
“The French Government’s decision also highlights that civil unions have not been enough for a country that, like Australia, prides itself on treating everyone equally.
法国政府的决定再次证明了民事结合不能够给予和婚姻同样足够的权益,这样更反衬了澳洲一项申明【每一个人都都是平等的】
“It’s time for Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott to join the majority of Australians and their fellow world leaders by removing discrimination against loving and committed adult same-sex couples.”
是时候,Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott 加入大多数澳洲人和其他世界领导人,解除澳洲对同性伴侣的歧视和区别对待了。
European nations that allow gay marriage include Belgium, Iceland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. Gay marriages will also be allowed in Denmark from June 15.
目前欧洲承认同性婚姻的国家有:比利时,冰岛,荷兰,葡萄牙,西班牙,瑞典和丹麦。 |
