Edit: not much publicity this time either. This time the protest is getting a bit on the violent side with the police using tear gas. In January, millions of Frenchmen took to the streets to oppose the destruction of their society. Reported by the New York Times, CBS, the Guardian. They all assume that there is a “shrinking majority” of people opposed to this legislation, but other polls suggest differently. They also complain that the march turned violent, but failed to report that the police threw gas irrespective of the children in the way. Hopefully this reverberates in other places.
Galliawatch is calling this the French Spring.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in central Paris on Sunday protesting against a draft law that allows same-sex couples to marry and adopt children, BBC reported.
The lower house of the French parliament, dominated by President Francois Hollande’s Socialist Party and its allies, adopted the bill last month and the Senate is set to debate on the draft law in April.
Protesters at first gathered along a major street leading to the Arc de Triomphe, but later hundreds of demonstrators spilled over onto the Champs Elysees prompting police to use tear gas and batons.

I've been astounded that this has happened in FrrrAnce ? But then I recalled that the French are famous for going to the streets. This time it's for a right cause.
ReplyDeleteMy comment is similar to Anymonous above.
ReplyDeleteI have never been a fan of the French. But Catholic French are something different and yes they take to the streets and many others join them. Their fire to fight is one of my biggest inspirations today. Vive la Catholic France! and Vive la Crist Roi!!!
Bravo, Eldest Daughter!
