Paris riots after gay marriage vote

Police fought running battles with protesters in central Paris last night after the French parliament approved legislation authorising same-sex couples to marry and to adopt children.

The vote, which made France the fourteenth country in the world to legalise gay marriage, was hailed by supporters as an epoch-defining commitment to equality. But it sparked fury among opponents.

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.

I cannot imagine good Pro Family Catholics and French Protestants resorting to violent riots over gay marriage.

Incorrect. White European froggies held weeks of enormous pro-traditional-marriage demonstrations, many of which became violent when provoked by much, much smaller bands of pro-gay protesters, before this shove-it-down-the-peasants'-throats bill was passed. The Socialist government shoved it anyway.

[Albion Wilde]

You know it’s the Muzzies rioting.

Incorrect. The traditional French have been demonstrating against gay marriage for months now. The government ignored the People.

[Albion Wilde]

Muslims will be the majority of France in about 37 years. This will be a short lived law.

Those on this thread (not you) who think muslims are behind these riots have it backwards. There are no jobs for young people in France to begin with; and their cities are surrounded by muslim ghettoes into which even the police cannot venture, populated by welfare-receiving muslim "families" of multiple wives and children. Once "gay marriage" is passed, there will be no shred of legal barrier to the institutionalization of multiple-wife marriage in France, and thus an even more rapid cultural insurrection by radical Islam.

Never thought I’d say this, but we should do the same if the Court sells us up the river.

Show me pictures.

I understand the Gauls oppose gay marriage.

But I’ll still bet it’s the muzzies who rioted.

I’ve seen pics of rioters in scarves like keffiyas.

That we would do the same...

[Albion Wilde]

Amen.

The French are showing more courage than we are as the slide into perfidy in the US accelerates.

I had done my own reseach, and found dark skinned, masked in keffiya checked scarves, pictures.
