FRANCE: Manif Pour Tous Recruits For This Weekend's Anti-Gay Parenting March
JMG reader David writes from Paris:
The Manif Pour Tous is recruiting for this Sunday's marches in Paris and Bordeaux. Yes, they're out to recruit teenagers and young adults! The local Lyon division is offering round-trip bus rides Lyon-Paris for 30 euros ($38). An article in yesterday's Le Parisien says the focus of this weekend's demonstrations in Paris and Bordeaux is to protest the European Court of Human Rights' recent decision that France must grant full parental rights to same-sex couples with children born via surrogacy or artificial insemination.Previous marches have drawn hundreds of thousands and resulted in violent battles with riot police.
