French publisher succumbs to LGBT pressure and changes family definition

The European Union member states do not have the same definitions of family and marriage, and that will not change. There is no support for a plan to recognise all families and forms of parenthood that are identified in other member states.

The traffic light coalition in Germany discusses one of the most significant changes to German family law in history. They want to alter the definition of parentage so that custody over children becomes easier for gay and lesbian couples. Susanne Hierl (CDU) criticises the plans of the government.

Several Latvian LGBT couples filed an application to an administrative court to request legal recognition of their relationships as being families.
