Broadcast Wedding

From Yahoo:
"France's first gay marriage is broadcast to nation"

In a historic ceremony broadcast live on French television, the first gay couple to marry in France said "oui," then sealed the deal with a lengthy and very public kiss. Hundreds of invited guests including a government minister gathered for the moving ceremony Wednesday inside city hall in southern French city of Montpellier. Hundreds more flocked to the square outside the building as Vincent Autin, 40, and his 30-year-old partner, Bruno Boileau, were wed. The politically charged ceremony was held under tight police surveillance — a stark reminder of the months of bruising opposition to the new gay marriage law that French lawmakers passed earlier this month. France is the 14th country so far — and the biggest in political and economic weight — to recognize gay marriage.

^ While I think homosexuals should be allowed to marry and have the same civil rights as everyone else I don't think the ceremony needed to be put on TV. If the French TV channel also puts heterosexual weddings on then it is fine, but to put just a homosexual wedding on shows that there is something unique - and it shouldn't be unique - it should be commonplace. ^
