France on Verge of Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage

"In October, we will send a bill to the National Assembly and the Senate to allow same-sex couples to marry," French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said Saturday in an address to Socialist Party members. "It would also allow them to form families and adopt children."
