It's official! Marriage equality becomes law in France

It's official! Marriage equality becomes law in France:

French President François Hollande officially signed a marriage equality bill into law this morning, making France the 14th country to legalize same-sex marriage. In addition, all married same-sex couples will now be able to adopt children.

Hollande is not doing well in terms of public opinion lately, and opponents of LGBT rights have retaliated against the marriage movement with violent protests and attacks. In the face of such adversity, the passing of the law is all the more significant.

Mr. Hollande signed the bill a day after the Constitutional Council dismissed a legal challenge by the right-wing opposition. “I will ensure that the law applies across the whole territory, in full, and I will not accept any disruption of these marriages,” he said.

Gay rights advocates praised the law, while a watchdog group, SOS Homophobie, said that France “has taken a great step forward today, although it is regrettable that it was taken in a climate of bad faith and homophobic violence.”

Félicitations, mes amis!

Time for an Adventure

Sat, 18 May 2013 18:01:04 -0500

As a heads up, I probably won’t be posting as much over the summer as I did during the school year. Because the school year ended I’m having some adventure time. This month I will be travelling to the Caribbean and Israel, and then making the move to rural Minnesota to teach French. Then at the end of the summer I will be making a big move, halfway round the world, to Paris (for a whole year abroad, omg!). I feel so lucky to have all these wonderful opportunities, but I am going to miss my friends in Minneapolis so much, but there’s always a price to be payed.

Sagano Bamboo Forest, Japan

This stunning bamboo forest is located in the Arashiyama district on the west outskirts of Kyoto, Japan. It is one of the most amazing natural sites in the country. An interesting fact about Sagano Bamboo Forest is the sound that the wind makes while it blows through the bamboo. Amazingly enough, this sound has been voted on as one of the “one hundred must-be-preserved sounds of Japan” by the Japanese government. Another interesting fact – the railing on the sides of the road is composed out of old, dry and fallen parts of bamboo.
