Cute kittens and celeb gossip

French House Speaker Claude Bartolone gets a gunpowder letter telling him to delay Tuesday's vote on same-sex marriage. Continued tension over the vote is also seen in a homophobic attack at the weekend - a couple of guys were beaten up as they were leaving a gay nightclub in Nice. The US publication Mother Jones, meanwhile, argues that there is a Sushi Gap: a willingness to eat raw fish correlates almost perfectly with approval of marriage equality.

There's confusion in the US media as reports circulate of an arrest in connection with the Boston bombing. The FBI quickly deny this and tell journalists to verify information before reporting! Margaret Thatcher’s funeral dominates social media in the UK, while the papers battle it out to condemn or congratulate those in charge of organising the former Prime Minister’s funeral. And in New Zealand, MPs pass legislation to allow same-sex marriage, and celebrate with a song.
