PARIS:
Former French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy backed controversial plans for
France to legalise gay marriage in an interview with Vogue that sees the
44-year-old return to her supermodel roots.
In an
interview appearing in the magazine's December issue with a 20-page photo shoot
reminiscent of Bruni-Sarkozy's time as a top model in the 1990s, she admitted
she disagreed with her husband on the question of gay marriage and adoption.
"I am
rather in favour of gay marriage and adoption, 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," she said.
French
President Francois Hollande, who defeated Sarkozy in a May presidential
election, is pushing plans to legalise same-sex marriage and adoption despite
fierce opposition from Catholics and rightwing groups, including most of
Sarkozy's UMP party.
Bruni-Sarkozy
refused to answer questions about her husband's future political career, saying
only: "It was a beautiful adventure, but today I just want to go back to
being a citizen like any other."
Bruni-Sarkozy,
a model and singer whose fourth album will be released next spring, married the
divorced Sarkozy in 2008.
