Gay marriage spreads to France
April 23, 2004  By France.com 

France is set to have its first same-sex wedding this year, after a local Mayor took exception to the lack of access to marriage for lesbian and gay couples.

Noel Mamere, mayor of the town of Begles in south west France, has said he will conduct the ceremony for the two men in June, after finding no laws in the country that could block it. Although not marriage, France has offered civil union ceremonies, similar in the rights and responsibilities to our currently debated Civil Partnerships bill, since 2000.

Villepin targets non-French imams
April 23, 2004  By France.com 

Speaking a day after he deported an Algerian imam for saying Islam let husbands beat adulterous wives, Villepin urged the country’s prefects Thursday to expel any foreign preacher who advocated violence, hate, racism or abuses of human rights.

Only about 10 percent of imams in France are citizens and about half of all imams in the country speak French, experts say.

Most are imported from Arab countries, where some have been trained in radical Islamist views that clash with France’s secular laws.

Chirac undecided on EU constitution referendum for France
April 21, 2004  By France.com 

President Jacques Chirac has not yet decided whether he will hold a referendum in France on a proposed EU constitution, as Britain has declared it will do, a government spokesman said.

“As far as France is concerned, two paths are possible and provided for by the constitution,” spokesman Jean-Francois Cope told journalists.

The two options for ratification he was referring to were a plebiscite and parliamentary approval.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Tuesday announced a U-turn on his previous plans to say his country would hold a referendum.

Want to learn French?
April 20, 2004  By France.com 

Hi. This is a commercial site, but they have some fun resources if you’re learning French. On the left side of the screen, scroll down to Language and there is a "word of the day" and various games and quizzes that you can use without buying anything. You can subscribe to the word of the day and they e-mail a different word to you each day. Once you learn all the words, just unsubscribe. I made my own little dictionary when I first tried it, just copied and pasted into a word processing document.

Have fun.
