France has become the 14th country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage , pushing through François Hollande's flagship social reform after months of street protests, political slanging matches and a rise in homophobic attacks.
Seventy-seven of 121 members voted in favour of amending the 1955 Marriage Act to allow same-sex couples to wed, making New Zealand the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to do so.
Proposed changes to marriage would open the way for Star Wars Jedi to perform ceremonies, a church has said.

That is it. Gay people can marry, the logical conclusion to half a century of campaigning for homosexual civil rights. The dinosaurs have been faced down. David Cameron and his Tory metrosexuals, bloodied but unbowed, have triumphed over the nasties. The 21st century has arrived. Marriage is a union of two grown-up people who claim to love each other.

The church has a dreadful record on marriage. Rome placed chastity and celibacy as the highest state of man (and woman), while marriage was for the fallen. As Milton said, the church regarded matrimony as a state of disgrace, "a work of the flesh, almost a defilement". Only when medieval bishops saw where the money was did they declare marriage "so sacramental that no adultery or desertion could dissolve it".
It's like a Proposal from Glee! (eek)

Barely half of American adults are married, a record low for the country, a new analysis of Census data finds. Following that same trend, the median age at first marriage is older than ever for both men and women, with the median age of marriage for women at 26.5 and the median age for men at 28.7. Nonetheless, the majority of Americans will still experience marriage at some point in their lives. Although only 51 percent of American adults are currently married, 72 percent have been married at least once.

California's same-sex marriage ban faces its next legal test Tuesday when the state's highest court attempts to shed light on whether the voter-approved measure's backers have legal authority to appeal the federal ruling that overturned Proposition 8. The California Supreme Court is scheduled to hear an hour of arguments on that question, which could prove crucial to the future of the voter-approved ban. The federal appeals court that is considering the initiative's constitutionality wants the state court to weigh in on the matter before it issues its decision.
