http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-2213262012 April 2013 Last updated at 23:29 ET
France's upper house of parliament has voted to legalise gay marriage.
The bill - which was approved with only minor amendments - is now certain to become law after a final vote in the lower house, expected in May.
There have been several demonstrations in Paris both for and against the bill.
