promulgation of the parliamentary bill, which was not officially

relations with a person of the same sex is punished by a prison
sentence of three months to two years and a fine of 50,000 to 100,000
(CFA) francs, or one of these penalties,' a joint statement said."

they are married and same-sex couples will say, 'Yes.' And when the Census people
