FRANCE: Neo-Nazis Back Manif Pour Tous In Massive Anti-Gay Rallies

Led by Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the 24 year-old granddaughter of neo-Nazi National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has been convicted multiple times for inciting racial hatred, today Manif Pour Tous yet again staged massive anti-gay rallies in Paris and Lyon, where tens of thousands marched against LGBT families. The granddaughter, seen in the first clip below, is the youngest person ever elected to France's Parliament. In the second clip, a demonstrator burns a paper bearing the name of French Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira, who became a gay icon for her ardent support of same-sex marriage. France's gay marriage law is known nationally as "Taubira's Law." As the third clip explains, the theme of today's protest is anger over the right of same-sex couples to use surrogacy to build their families. A member of France's opposition UMP party is live-tweeting many photos from the event.

FRANCE: Thousands Of Anti-Gay Right Wingers Protest President Hollande

Torrential rains forced France's famed anti-gay Hommen into a totally not homoerotic group huddle during yesterday's protest against President Francois Hollande. As is typical for France's neo-Nazi supported anti-gay movement, things got violent.

Several thousand people marched through Paris on Sunday in a "Day of Anger" against embattled President Francois Hollande which ended in clashes between police and protesters. Security forces used tear gas to disperse several hundred youths who lobbed police with bottles, fireworks, iron bars and dustbins. Police on Monday said at least 250 people had been arrested after the clashes, during which 12 officers were injured. Interior Minister Manuel Valls condemned the violence "by individuals, varied groups from the extreme and ultra-right, whose only goal is to create unrest". The march organised by a motley group of some 50 small and mainly right-wing organisations, however failed to attract bigger anti-Hollande movements. Organisers claimed a turnout of some 120,000 people, however police estimated there were 17,000 people at the protest, held under pouring rain. The demonstrators railed against a slew of policies under Hollande - the most unpopular French president of modern times - such as last year's law allowing gay marriage.

In the video below you'll see two men performing the quenelle, which is a 21st century French version of the Nazi salute.

Tweet Of The Day - The Hommen

France's bizarrely homoerotic hate group, the HOMMEN, whose members are young men who photograph themselves in shirtless piles, today tweeted the above photo showing a bullet labeled "gay marriage" heading for the skull of a toddler. THIS is the movement supported by Brian Brown and Robert Oscar Lopez. (Tipped by JMG reader Str8 Grandmother)

Hommen Vs Femen

The Hommen: Young buff male anti-gay extremists who protest France's gay marriage law by staging homoerotic half-nude protests. The Femen: Young buff female Ukrainian activists who denounce the oppression of women and gays by staging topless protests. And finally they meet when the Hommen show up outside the Femen's Paris office to chant slogans and throw brassieres at the windows. Note that two of the Femen taunted the Hommen boys back by, you guessed it, hanging out of the windows topless. (Regarding the photo, I'm told that the Hommen are doing some kind of Christian fascist salute.)

How To Protest Gay Marriage In France

John Aravosis tips us to the latest photos from France's Hommen, which (as we've seen many times) believes that the best way to protest against gay marriage is to gather a bunch of fit, young shirtless men and have them climb all over each other.  Less amusing in the Hommen's latest slideshow is the lineup of toddler "mini-hommen" with anti-gay slogans written on their bodies.

Photo Of The Day: Mini-Hommen

France's far-right Printemps Français (French Spring), which organized some of the most violent anti-gay protests during marriage battle, has posted the above photo titled "Bravo Aux Mini-Hommen!!!" The Hommen, you should recall, are the anti-gay and yet oddly homoerotic group of young French men who protest topless against same-sex marriage. You've got to be carefully taught....

Homoerotic Anti-Gay Boys Storm Beaches Of Normandy Because Gay Marriage

OK, they're at Montpellier, not Normandy, but we get the super-silly "gays are Nazis" metaphor. The all-male, always shirtless Hommen are apparently protesting the jailing of this guy.

UPDATE:  I've learned that Monpellier was chosen for this nonsense as it was the site of France's first legal same-sex marriage.

FRANCE: Anti-Gay Marriage Protesters Interrupt Finals Match Of French Open

A member of France's anti-gay marriage group HOMMEN rushed the court waving an ignited smoke torch during the finals match of today's French Open. CBS News reports:

Several protesters, upset by recent legislation in France allowing for same-sex marriages, disrupted the French Open tennis final on Sunday between Rafael Nadal and fellow Spaniard David Ferrer. Two protesters appeared shirtless in one of the front rows behind the players bench on center court at the end of the sixth game of the second set. One of them let off a flare and leapt onto the court. A security guard tackled the protester with the flare, who was also wearing a mask, on the court and hustled him off the towards the players' exit. Nadal began jogging towards the players locker room exit when the protest began, but was quickly turned back by a security guard as the protester headed in that direction as well. The accomplice of the protester with the flare was hustled off the court quickly as well.
