francis had its first gay marriage eleven days ago of the country legalize
same-sex marriages and gay adoption so it was a huge our victory for gay rights
in france arm and a couple they got married was that this is a forty year
old and brutal if they're your old and they've been very outspoken
handsome gentleman out they've been the very outspoken about gay rights they're
very very excited to be the first gay couple to get married there were two
hundred members of the press their there were up french politicians there
and it's a great story it's very feel-good story but i'd just last sunday
there was this massive anti-gay protests at took place in paris about one hundred
fifty thousand people attended
and these and any protest happened a few times
some of them broke out in violence but
for the vast majority of and it was just peaceful it was fine uh... so it is
listed
we're we're moving forward before her death uh...
the
phai
and
so army still some more confrontational quote and yes i want you will and clear
about how these protests went down so the last protest that happened uh...
included one hundred fifty protesters
on someone writes down to one hundred fifty thousand aed projects that how you
know there were some reports that there might be more but mass media outlets are
reporting wonder fifty thousand
on as with any type of protesters that has that many people usually something
will happen there'll be some extremists are are some people who want to cause
problems and you think about the occupy protesters the majority of them for
peaceful it was uh... civil disobedience and was in a big deal but then you would
have anarchist coming and they would kind of spoil a white abby occupy
protesters were doing so a similar with this i mean i know i'm getting a little
too much credit anti-gay protesters but i just think it's unfair to you
l_a_ make them all seem like they were violent
for the most part they were peaceful no i understand i'm glad you contacts
the same time i'm shocked by a day
huge n_b_a_ sentiment in france
such having an it probably isn't more to do with european culture of protest
inside or out
uh... but here that u_s_ unique
yet a hundred and fifty thousand wrote this in the world what floor the country
obviously right
uh... too
well ido it depends on which city you renounce the right
detect any protest i mean wayward media country what we're doing that
the violating a every constitutional right there is you can't you'd be
hard-pressed to govern fifteen dudes out there along w does it
anne and so look obviously france has got the right place and overall the
majority in creation at the marriage
it appears at least so they're democratically elected leaders have gone
in that direction
and uh...
and and therefore keep country in the world saloon look
you know the pioneers in in cologne for gay marriage
but it's disconcerting to see that many people who are against gay marriage from
violence are not made yet and i and i get that every protesters
outlying areas i mean
probably was substantially below their protests
who was on the bankruptcy begin and uh... was a french the animals the
pricing etc dot but you know i
i think that they are moving in the right direction and of course any type
of that social change is met with some resistance
and you just kind of have to and compress that resistance aside but
he acted deal with the fight that people are putting up and you have the right to
protest it
but you're on the wrong side of history so i think what the politicians did it
and i'll let you know they of course it went through legislative process in
france
it was the right way to go and very happy about it and you know we're seeing
similar of movements here in the u_s_ is right it doesn't
believes guarantee even if you're on the right side of history so it's not a
selling a d_c_ me up at sid in france
but i'll tell you but if the u_s_ government said remaining gay marriage
legal
and we'll meet mandatory explore the ordered review knows about america's
future of at a protest
