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.

Polygamy, group marriage, sibling "marriage," anything-goes-"marriage" now ALSO legal in France.
Once marriage is deemed as EVERYTHING, marriage then is NOTHING.

From the article:
...authorising same-sex couples to marry and to adopt children.(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)

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

Yes, there have also been major prior demonstrations against the, then, proposed new law and the government ignored them.

No, it’s not the Muslims. Haven’t you heard about Paris’ large and militant Amish community. /s

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.

France’s economy is going into the toilet, and people have had enough of the social engineering. France will become another Greece soon. Expect hyper-nationalism soon.

No need to look.
You know it’s the Muzzies rioting.
