  • Although France officially legalized gαy marriage last month, organizers of an anti-gαy marriage -- or "pro-family" -- parade decided to go forward with a planned demonstration Sunday -- and hundreds of thousands turned out.

    Sandy Glass from Naperville, Illinois, was in Paris and witnessed the parade unexpectedly, telling TheBlaze she and her husband estimated more than 250,000 people were present.

    "It brought tears to our eyes," Glass, a conservative and Glenn Beck fan, said in a phone interview

  • There has been an anti-masonic manifestation before the lodge of Paris the friday before as well.

    The socialist regime appears to take the mobilisation going on in France seriously, because they have been trying to downplay it's numbers through the media, and they had been holding back thousands from reaching the place of the manifestation on sunday by blocking buses before Paris, closing train stations and through interpellations by the police of many individuals who were going to it.

    Yet, not one incident of vandalism was, as far as I know, wrought by the manifestants. In contrast, football hooligans had been wrecking the city very recently and virtually nothing was done against them by the police, which means that they are practically favouring violent troublemakers in the streets before people who are against unnatural vice and the destruction of the family which follows from it.

    By the way, at least 500 000 people were expected by public transport companies, which is the double of the number that is mentioned in what you have posted.
