La justice fait un pas vers l'homoparentalité

[greenie_breizh]

Just saw this on yodah's journal, and of course I had to forward!

Dans un arrêt,la Cour de cassation reconnaît les mêmes droits et devoirs à la mère "biologique" et à sa compagne homosexuelle.

A French court has just ruled to allow the partner in a lesbian couple to share parental authority over the two daughters they have. Most important thing, the ruling sets a precedent and therefore is a step forward towards legal recognition of what we call "homoparenthood", namely gay couples raising children.

Here are links to articles about it in French :

Le Monde
Libération
Le Figaro

What I find funniest in this whole legal battle is that whatever the ruling, it's always "in the best interest of the children" that the judges rule. And since nobody has really decided what is best for the children, you get contradicting rulings with pretty much the same arguments. He.

Anyway. It's only a start, but boy it's encouraging.



PS : it's so good to have a computer that works!

J'avais vaguement entendu parler de ça. J'ai envoyé l'article du Monde à Marion ;)
