Comments on: EU calls for gay couple rights, end to homophobia http://www.365gay.com/news/eu-calls-for-gay-couple-rights-end-to-homophobia/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: SteveMD2 http://www.365gay.com/news/eu-calls-for-gay-couple-rights-end-to-homophobia/comment-page-1/#comment-39624 SteveMD2 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 04:55:47 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=4854#comment-39624 I didn't quite follow this re Poland, etc, whom we should probably cede to Russia / Putin, they think alike. But the EU should seriously think about a resolution to end diplomatic recognition of any country that doesn't work to end homophobia and give gay people equivalent legal rights. Suck that one up, old guy in the fancy dress, with his chains and ornaments hanging from his clothing. He is funnier then some way out trans people. And note that from what I hear, churches in Europe are more or less empty. Mankind, though with terrible and horrible struggles, marches on.

This includes everyone, straight/gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender. The couple may or may not hyphenate their names, and among straight couples the children take their mother's name. I lived in France for 3 years and was never discriminated against for being gay or anglais; nor did I witness any violence, even when revelers were pretty drunk and otherwise obnoxious. I want to return to France! In France the norm among people under 50 is not to get married, but enter into a civil union with all the rights enjoyed by the married.
