Im here in Paris and just witnessed a MASSIVE anti-gay marriage protest. The American liberal media will have you believe that if your against gay marriage your somehow abnormal, meanwhile there were literally hundreds of thousands of people on the Champs-Elyssels today protesting this abomination. This fakkit Hollande apparently legalized gay marriage, much to the chagrin of the local populace earlier this month. Many people here are highly upset. This just goes to show you that for all you folks that believe in the traditional definition of marriage, you are not alone, regardless of what these atheist liberals try and tell you!
Protest in Paris against France's gay marriage law
While the official reports had the total turnout at 150,000, it was more close to 1,000,000. It was crazy out here!
Protest in Paris against France's gay marriage law
PARIS (AP) — Tens of thousands of people protested against France's new gay marriage law in central Paris on Sunday, and police clashed with right-wing demonstrators.
The law came into force over a week ago, but organizers decided to go ahead with the long-planned demonstration to show their continued opposition as well as their frustration with President Francois Hollande, who had made legalizing gay marriage one of his keynote campaign pledges in last year's election.
Marchers set off from three separate points across Paris, and by early evening they filled the Invalides esplanade just across the Seine River from the Champs Elysees.
As night fell, several hundred protesters clashed with police, throwing bottles and chasing journalists.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls said police had arrested around 100 far-right protesters who refused to leave following the end of the demonstration.
Meanwhile, in southern France, the 66th Cannes Film Festival gave the Palm d'Or, its top honor, to "Blue is the Warmest Color: The Life of Adele," a French film about a tender, sensual lesbian romance.
Police estimated around 150,000 people took part in the demonstration in Paris, but march organizers claimed on their Twitter account that more than a million people did.
A similar protest in March drew about 300,000.
Around 5,000 police were on duty Sunday because previous anti-gay marriage protests also had seen clashes between far-right protesters and the police.
