This law allows gay marriage and adoptions by gay couples.
I thought the French were progressives but here it appears
they are not as progressive as Americans??? That just cannot be true.
It seems that France is a mostly Catholic country even
though throughout its history and especially during its French Revolution,
Catholicism was despised and Catholic clerics beheaded.
News reports say that right-wing conservative Christians
(Catholics) were bused in from around the country to demonstrate against the
law and hopefully prevent its enactment.
The socialist government is very much behind this new law and
it will be interesting to see how things develop.
The fact that this demonstration turned into a violent riot
seems a little strange since it was organized by the Catholic Church there.
I will have to investigate French Catholicism in more detail
since Europe in general is very secular.
More on this later…
