Anti-gay marriage protesters return to France's streets


The "Manif Pour Tous" (Protest for Everyone) campaign has been re-activated two years after its last sizeable demonstration. The target of their anger is the 2013 law legalising same-sex marriage introduced by Christiane Taubira, the justice minister at the time. One protester attending the march, 72-year-old retired engineer Michel Delaune, said: "I am against gay marriage and against the crappy leaders who oppose the power of the people." Story continues below…Three years ago, Manif Pour Tous mounted a vigorous campaign against same-sex marriage -- at one point claiming to have brought 1.4 million on the streets of Paris. But President Francois Hollande defied the protests and in 2013 France legalised gay marriage.
