| Description | A mayor in south-western France has been warned that he will face legal action if he carries out the country's first gay wedding on Saturday.
Noel Mamere has promised to marry two homosexual men in a ceremony in Begles, a suburb of the city of Bordeaux.
He says the action is to promote equal rights.
But Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said French law did not allow two people of the same sex to marry, and Mr Mamere would be acting illegally.
"I am defending the law-based state," Mr Raffarin told the National Assembly. |
