If you’re looking for a rooting interest in Sunday’s World Cup final between France and Croatia based on that nation’s support for LGBT rights, then France is the choice.

Same-sex marriage is legal in France but banned in Croatia under a constitutional amendment. However, civil unions are allowed in Croatia, granting many of the same rights as marriage.
