World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

What does marriage mean in 2013? France's same-sex marriage reform will go ahead despite a massive rally on Sunday. Tens of thousands of people protested in Paris over plans to legalise same-sex marriage and allow gay couples to adopt. They included Catholic groups and other backers of traditional family rights. Is it time gay couples should be given the same right as heterosexual couples? And what is your opinion about the institution of marriage?
