The descendants of Vichy and the Anti-Dreyfusards are now angry in France. Differnet uniforms, different causes, its the same garbage. And times like these when the garbage piles up and stinks, you have to take the trash out.
Quote:
Last Wednesday, in the southern French city of Montpelier, Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau became the first gay couple to be legally married under the country's new "Marriage for All" law, which was passed by the French parliament earlier in the month. A plan to broadcast the ceremony on a giant screen in the city square was scrapped at the last minute for fear that it could provoke violence from anti-gay activists. Nonetheless, riot police clashed with some protestors.
The previous Sunday, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Paris to protest the law. It was the last in a series of massive rallies that began last December shortly after the marriage equality bill was introduced in the French National Assembly. Far right protestors fought with police, who responded with tear gas and truncheons. These protests have been some of the largest in the recent history of France, which is saying something given the French love for manifs, or demonstrations.
Accompanying the mass protests were a series of violent attacks on gay people.
The French should riot more, so should Americans. No way that gets voted on by people, polititions caving in, or taking bribes, are pushing these laws through.
