A lesbian couple asked the European court of the human rights to give to their child the right to have their two names, the French justice refused to allow it.

Valérie Gas and Nathalie Dubois had a girl in 2000 but for France, this child has only one mother Nathalie Dubois. Valerie is not recognized as her mother and cannot adopt her, the court of Nanterre in 2006, refused this request pretexting that it was not in the interest of the child because that would involve a loss of the parental authority. To share the parental authority you have to be a married couple but the marriage is not allowed in France for gay and lesbian couples.

Already last year, a Frenchwoman had to complaint at the European court against France because the country refused that ishe can adopt a child because of her homosexuality. The European court had then condemned France and gave the possibility to this Frenchwoman to adopt.

This time, at the audience, Caroline Mécary, the lawyer of the couple, underlined the difference of treatment the French right imposes between the children of same sex couples and straight couples. She also said that  sharing the parental authority, that the French government consider as a possible answer to the situation of these children, stops at the majority of the child and does not allow transmission of name nor of materials.

“A country has the duty to protect all the families," said the lawyer. "The country could not take pretext of the sexual orientation of the couple which raises a child to differently treat this child on the justice level.”

The French senate voted a law, against the government, to allow the access to medical procreation “for all the couples” so for lesbians too.

In France, a lot of lesbian couples go in other countries like Belgium, the Netherlands for inseminations because that is not possible in France.

But it is not because the Senate opened the law for lesbians that we won. The government doesn't agree, a second session could take place.

Health Minister, Xavier Bertrand, is against: “It is the report of a medical infertility which remains the access to the medical procreation”. This amendment “modifies the border between the medical and the society” and “the government are not ready to follow. I hear the argumentation, but that is not the one of the government. The medical procreation is a medical answer to a medical problem”, he insisted.

Senator UMP Alain Milon voted for the law because he thinks that this evolution is “the French reality”.

Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans Interassociative (Inter-LGTB) said “it is a pleasant surprise in all this debate on the law of bioethics, since this amendment deposited by the opposition aimed to put an end to a discrimination against same sex couples introduced into this bill.”

Nicolas Gougain added: “Until now, the medical procreation was only opened for married couples and a new text planned to open it to couples who are not married, but only straights”, he added.

“If this amendment is confirmed, it would be a good news for all the couples of women who today have to go abroad to obtain help with procreation.”

“It is obviously a good thing”, said Philippe Rollandin, spokesperson of the APGL (association of the parents and future gay and lesbian parents). “It is interesting to see that the senators take into account this kind of reality and try to advance the legislation”, he added. However, “we remain careful because it is not yet a final vote”.
