France IDAHO Report 2012

Traditionally, IDAHO mobilisations are strong in France, where the Day has been celebrated since it was officially launched back in 2005.
This year again, the IDAHO was a great success in France. Hundreds of events, in more than 40 cities, were organised, including in new places, like Martinique, in the west Indies, where it was the first public LGBT event ever on the streets.
The IDAHO 2012 was marked by the election of the new President, François Hollande. The new Prime Minister, although appointed only on May 16th, issued a press release for IDAHO, confirming his commitments to vote new laws for equal rights for all couples and families.
