Pro- and anti-gay protesters clash in Paris

The controversial Ukrainian group Femen, whose topless members stage pranks to support gay rights, have taunted a march in Paris by Catholics who oppose France's draft law to legalize gay marriage.

The Catholic group Civitas organized Sunday's march by several thousand people carrying pro-family banners.

Several Femen activists turned up topless, chanted "in gay we trust" and sprayed white powder from bottles.

That prompted several anti-gay marriage protesters to hit the Femen members and push them to the ground.

On Saturday several thousand people took to the streets in cities across France to protest the draft law, which could see marriage and adoption legalized for homosexual couples early next year.

Well, I am happy to just have a Civil Partnership, it really helped me settle down in life.

The idea that some random women would go topless and attack a bunch of stuffy Catholics so that I could get 'married' is amusing, but actually I support the Catholics because I do not want to offend people, and I do not need and did not need to 'marry' my (same-sex) partner in a fucking church anyway!

I do not know why these people are asking for the changes in the law to do this.

EDIT: I am not even sure that many people are. It is the agenda at work again.

It all seems too much that naked women wearing nuns' habits should be protesting for my right to 'marry' in a church, and they are sending out the wrong messages anyway:

In Gay We Trust:

Who really trusts in Gay, except when they are having their hair done? :o
I have a friend who says, "All Queens are Thieves!" and she is right! :tongue

Fuck Church:

Who wants to "fuck" church? Church is responsible for the nice things in life, like the holy festivals and helping and praying for the poor sick and elderly, and for stable marriages and family life and dignity in death.

This protest is unwarranted and very extreme and but it is a reflection of France's extreme secularism.

I shall protest against gay marriage if it happens in the UK, because I am perfectly happy with my Civil Partnership, and I do not believe in creating the homo-normative world of 'gay' everything and so forth.

Why Femen don't attack the saturday's demonstration?

Because, the sunday's demonstration was organized by the institut Civitas
(Integrist catholics, in France that means (for the medias) extremists)

They attacked these Catholics (not a good idea) :D

They thought that the catholics would not dare to defend face has half-nude women :D

I neither needed nor wanted to 'marry' my same-sex partner in a church.

It goes against thousands of years of Christian tradition and is highly provocative, and I do not believe in 'equality', because it does not exist in nature.

Marriage is a good thing, because it is fair, and gives life partners equal legal protection and that is why I had a Civil Partnership and it was the best thing I ever did.

I have enjoyed a relatively stable relationship ever since, without the need to go to a church and offend Christians. :rolleyes:

What are you retarded or something?

1-Getting married doesn't necessary mean to get marry on a church. No homosexual ever has pretended the churches to allow him to get married in them. Marriage is a civil right and can and should be only practiced in civil institutions like the municipality(town hall) etc.

2-It goes against thousands of years of Christian tradition? Hindus, Muslims, atheists and others should stop getting married now because some Flat Earth Society Christians doesn't like it? You realize that marriage wasn't made up by the church, right? It has existed thousand of years ago before some dudes on crack wrote the bible.

3-Who cares if it's provocative to the Christians that homosexuals are getting married? It's provocative to the Muslims that the Christians are getting married, should we stop the Christians from getting married?

4-Who cares if you don't believe in 'equality', it does exist. We're just humans, Whites, Blacks, Yellows, Mixed, Albinos, heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, pansexuals, asexuals, monogamous, polygamous, religious, irreligious, theists, atheists, males, females, intergenders, transgenders, tall, medium height, short, very short, young, middle aged, old, leftists, centrists, rightists and so on...

Intelligence is not based on any of these factors, but just on personal intellect, personal! Therefore we're all equal, all!

5-Marriage is fair, how is it? Isn't love the reason why you're getting married in first place(or get a civil union)? Then can you possible define love as a piece of paper that you sign with the mayor or the local cleric? It's disgusting, true love cannot be defined on a piece of paper, you don't need any contract to show how much you care for someone. Contracts were for slaves not for free men.

6-Again, no one can possible force the church/mosque etc. to practice same-gender marriage. With this I guess I just proved not only that you're not a homosexual, but even that you got no clue about what homosexuals are looking for. You're just a Christian troll. Your arguments dismiss themselves.

I'm not, I'm extremely calm by nature.

because I do not follow your agenda,

Since I'm not trying to impose anything on anyone, I can't really have an agenda. Your local church have an agenda and you're part of it, you're fulfilling their homophobic agenda.

which is aggressively secularist.

Oh yes I missed that, posting something on a forum is being aggressive, mass murdering atheists of millenias is a "religious right".

Go topless somewhere and shout about it.

I'm a man, even if I would go topless, no one would get scandalized, I've done it before everywhere, stadiums, beach, soccer match etc. I don't scream around, I don't need to, reason doesn't need to be screamed, stupidity does.

Show me one unique reference that a homosexual ever has pretended to force religious institutions to practice same-gender marriage?

Homosexuals are just asking same-gender marriage to be recognized by the constitution just like man-woman marriage is recognized.

And last but not least, I do not dislike religion(which of the 2000 of them still practiced?). I like freedom, and religions with no exclusions are trying to take it away from humanity. As long as they keep doing this they have a problem with me.

You spew hatred towards Serbs, you're a lame albanian troll

The Church of England have a massive property portfolio, and people no longer have to pay compulsory 'tithes', although there are some generous people who donate money.

You are very rude indeed. My father is very serious about Jesus, the book, and his example. He gets up every single day to say Matins on his own, and his ministry has included homosexuals and transgendered people. He lives his whole life to help other people. Much of his time is spent ministering to the sick, giving them communion in their homes, and just visiting them.

It is a going concern, but money has never been his primary motivation, and when I was growing up he chose some very undesirable deprived parishes. He is a very committed Christian, who has always helped the poor wherever we have been. He set up an entirely secular organisation to assist the poor in an area with 19% unemployment where the local politicians and council had done precisely nothing! You are a rude arrogant shit!

I am sure that secular humanists can do this as well, but do they, and why would they? Humanist meetings I have attended have usually been infested with ex-Orthodox Jews, Marxists and other materialists more interested in bashing religion than doing anything useful. :shrug:

Kelta: Why bother with marriage?

Civil Unions are a means of securing the relationship and making a lifelong commitment. It is a one stop shop document honouring that commitment and no less than a heterosexual marriage.

In the UK Civil Partnerships are a marriage in all but name, and that is why I do not give so much as a scybalum about "gay" marriage.

I am "married" to my partner, but I just do not feel the need to copy or encroach upon potentially offensive territory occupied by Holy Matrimony etc.

That is fair, but for this I am called a "Christian troll". :rolleyes:

You can go on and blame the Christians and their morals BUT it comes down to one rational and reasonable explanation for marriage -reproduction. You cannot really argue differently than looking at what it is -biology and science. In fact gays sometimes refer to heterosexuals as the "breeders." It is hard to argue against the male and female dance to reproduce an offspring. You can't do it unless you use artificial reproductive treatment, just current technology. I agree that many gays don't want to push and test Christians and other faiths. I have not read one ancient society that married gays or joined them together in some religious union (even before Christianity); however they did accept them within the community sharing same households. I think it comes down to votes, money, lawsuits and force. Any gay couple can write a will to protect their assets, inheritance, and do medical directives to protect their partner. So why even bother with marriage?

Yeah, two points can be deduced from this, the first is my point:

-Why to get married, heterosexual couple can stay in civil unions just like the homosexual ones, "So why even bother with marriage?".

Second point is, if we tolerate marriage, why to don't equally tolerate it even for homosexuals?

@FiA

-I'm hetero, if I wasn't I would have admitted that, homo=hetero, we're all equal, no one is better than the other.

-Again and again, read and then speak. No one is saying force the church to practice same-gender marriage. Just allow homosexual couples to get married(in the town hall) as you allow the heterosexual couple to do so.

-Your father is very serious about Jesus, have you ever asked your father to get a real job and to do the pastor for free without being paid? :D Then you see how much serious he is about it. I know plenty of imams here in Albania and I've talked to them about this "Flat Earth" of the Qur'an, well they answered that they have 5 kids to feed up, smiled and left.

-Well secular humanism is not anti-theism, considering the way that you speak I doubt you ever joined any secular club. Humanism cares about trying to turn on the brain of the people and making them understand that we're just humans. While secularism is just trying to remove compulsory teaching of religion on public schools, is trying to stop indoctrination of the kids and removing discrimination for those who refuse to join the religion of the majority. If Marxists like these things, I'm glad they do. But that's not a reason to consider a bad thing secular humanism. That would be like saying "is wrong to be an ethnic German, because Hitler was" or "it's wrong to have mustaches because Hitler and Stalin have them".

Spain gave a lesson about a skizophrenic country passing in few decades (minutes in historical time) from generalized homophobia ranging between subtle to rude, to "homointegrism" against our Catholic foundations trying to use the logic reaction of bishops as a excuse to ridiculize and paint an integrist picture of Church.

Russia did the same thing with those countries who blame him for that. Do not forget that we are close to a WW3 (or Cold War 2) with the case of Syria and Iran. Each side trying to personify the virtue and truth. The media = propaganda.

This week Putin met Merkel and he criticize him on his support to the Pussy Riot. He almost said that Merkel was antisemitism with his support to the Pussy Riot : http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/nov/16/vladimir-putin-angela-merkel-pussy-riot

In French (sorry I have not found in English) - It is strange that it's practically ignored in the English-speaking websites.
