So who is actually doing the rioting? The opponents of gay marriage?
Once marriage is deemed as EVERYTHING, marriage then is NOTHING.
(And there goes up the abortion rate even further...trying telling unwed moms to give up their child for adoption, knowing that two, three, etc. gay guys might be raising your son)
Is Paris Burning?
This brings to mind:
1) Just before the flood (Noah)
2) Just before Lot and his family left Sodom and Gomorrah
The creator of everything will not be mocked.
Expect retribution.
Muslims will be the majority of France in about 37 years. This will be a short lived law.
This is a reaction I would not have suspected.

AS ANTICIPATED, the National Assembly of France today passed the highly controversial “Taubira law” redefining marriage and legalizing homosexual unions. The bill was approved by a comfortable margin in the Socialist-majority Assembly, 331-225. The Associated Press reports:
Legions of officers with water cannons braced outside the National Assembly for possible violence on an issue that galvanized the country’s faltering right.
According to the AP, protests that draw hundreds of thousands constitute the “faltering right.” Don’t be fooled by attempts to present this issue as closed. It is not over in France. The protesters have vowed to continue and are likely to be motivated by this action by the National Assembly, which has disregarded their insistence that homosexual “marriage” and adoption are harmful to children and will devastate French culture. A national demonstration is scheduled for May 26 and, in the meantime, ongoing smaller demonstrations are expected.
The protesters have discovered their principles and the words to express them in a way that those opposed to homosexual marriage in other countries have not. They will not surrender and this action by the National Assembly bodes a great deal of strife and division ahead. The sign carried by protesters last week above (and posted at Galliawatch) reads:
“A civilization rests on what is demanded of men, not on what is given to them.”
The French, in the end, may awaken in more profound ways to the threats to their civilization posed by what Philippe Bénéton calls “equality by default,” the radical equality that banishes meaningful distinctions.
Default man is liberated from every norm and every model; he no longer forms part of an order that transcends him. He enjoys a sovereign independence. He is a stranger in the universe. [Equality by Default; 2004, p. 21]
Large numbers of the French people have turned against this state of radical liberation. In the end, however, it is not a question of numbers, of how many people on either side of the issue there are. It is a question of right and wrong, and even if only a handful of protesters hit the streets in Paris, there would still be only one right answer to this question.
Never thought I’d say this, but we should do the same if the Court sells us up the river.
