Are the French relatively accepting of the gay lifestyle?

No problem. Just to give one example, the mayor of Paris is gay. Who cares ?


Rillifane
Relative to whom?

Somewhat more so than most Americans, a lot more than Saudis, probably a bit less than the Dutch.

In France we do accept gay but gay couples are far from getting the same rights from "normal couple" : can't get married, no child adoption.

While not gay myself, I would say that they're as "accepting" of it as anywhere else, if only by default. Meaning, while I won't suggest that there's no homophobia, Paris has a gay district (Le Marais, which comically enough- to me anyway- also has a large Orthodox Jewish community), and France has the PACS, which is a civil union for couples who choose not to marry or who are legally prohibited from getting married, like gays. While I would certainly favor gays being allowed to marry (in both my dual-citizenship countries, the USA and France), the PACS is certainly better than nothing in my view. I've included a couple of links:

Yes,they accept gays,but what about the daily bathing? Of the gay people of course.


lovesassflake
Yes. France is the latin word for, "Land of the gay people!"


natioushka
The gay tend to live in ghettos, and areas that cater to lifestyle i.e. eating out drinking out and meeting out etc. a lot of free time in the eveing and on we.

I know of a few couples who have adopted a child usually the child is adopted by single parent who has relationship. not as many as in US. The childen come from Asia or Latin America.

I have more gay friends in France and UK than here in the US, I must admit seeing QAF or L world is very similar to firends' life in France with more down to earth aspects.

Spain is much more open with mariage being offered to gay and straight equally
