One in eight Paris weddings now for same-sex couples


From Pink News:
Statistics have revealed that Paris is becoming a hub for same-sex weddings in France.
Official stats released in the French capital showed that 13.5 percent of weddings to take place in 2014 were for same-sex couples – one in every eight unions.
It marks the second year that same-sex weddings have been legal in France, after Socialist President Francois Hollande passed the reform in May 2013.
1,331 same-sex couples married in the capital last year – with a running total of 2,365 since same-sex weddings were legalised.
Over a third of the Paris weddings took place in the gay-friendly Marais district, while 72 percent were in liberal districts that elected socialist mayors.
A city hall spokesman told France24 that there was no evidence of a rush for couples to marry, and that weddings had remained relatively stable at around 100 ceremonies a month.

The national figures on same-sex marriage are set to be released by INSEE next week – but uptake is expected to be lower in more conservative rural areas, where same-gender couples are unlikely to find acceptance.

Shove that up your cunt you smug ass, homophobic bitch
