Big Tent News: Sarkozy's Ex-Wife & Former First Lady Defies Her Party-Supports Gay Marriage in France

That's right...another divorced politician 'defending the institution of marriage.' Reminds me of Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain. This time an ex-wife speaks out against him.

Former first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has come out in support of the French government's bill legalizing gay marriage and adoptions, moves strongly opposed by her ex-president husband, according to On Top Magazine.

“I am rather in favor of gay marriage and adoption,” she told Vogue in a cover story to hit newsstands on December 3. “I have a lot of friends – women and men – who are in this situation and I see nothing unstable or perverse in families with homosexual parents.”

France's new left-of-center President Francois Hollande, who beat Sarkozy in a tightly-contested May vote, approved the marriage equality and adoption bill on November 7. It is expected to go before parliament in January.

Sarkozy's party as well as Roman Catholic groups have been campaigning heavily against the bill.

1. Actually she's Sarkozy's wife and former first lady, not Bruni's ex-wife.

3. I'm confused. I thought Carla Bruni was still married to Nicolas Sarkozy?

4. Did they just have a child

about a year ago?
While he was still in office?

5. She still is.

In some ways, she's turning into Ann Romney though.

All those houses just go to a woman's head, I guess.
