DUTCH TO ALLOW HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE, ADOPTION & BENEFITS
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Oct 29 (LSN) – A parliamentary committee this week approved a bill enshrining in federal law the right of gays and lesbians to adopt children and would also sanction same-sex marriages. The legislation, said to have broad backing in Parliament and a good shot at passage early in 1998, also would give gay couples the same pension, inheritance and social security rights as normal married couples.
