Support NeoGAF

I have this sudden urge to paint the Eiffel tower with rainbow colors

That's supposed to be a huge crowd? I'm pretty sure there are more people participating at the Gay pride every year. I don't know where they counted 800 000 participant, I would be amazed if there were 80 000 of them.

Yeah, if the other crowd really is 500k then that one is easily sub 100k.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah I'm more surprised that homosexuality is not "free" in France. I always thought it is.

This is perfect.
Really.

Relativism is a bad companion, evilish I dare to say.
Or there is one and absolute truth you recognize and respect and follow in an absolute way always, or there is nothing that can stand against all the derivations that come from that way of thinking, everything can be allowed, nothing forbidden.

In Italy we have something that sound like that" Who sow wind will harvest storm"

Yeah it's really sickening. Like in my country the religious folk here support "marry once" yet the males get to have so many "wives".

Not sure if I should make a new thread but in HK, christians were rallying against a proposed legislation that would outlaw discrimination against sexual minorities.

I don't even:

Why would we want equality for them? Let us discriminate those lowlifes! It's our God-given right! *eyeroll*

I thought French citizens were more progressive than this? Or is this just a minority but very vocal group? They did elect a socialist after all and seem to still hold the values of the French Revolution.

i was in paris over the new year and saw a bunch of anti-gay marriage posters around. surprising for what i thought was such a secular country — pretty much the only people that give a (negative) shit in the UK are priests and bishops.

Vocal minority, we voted for the guy who explicitely said he'd make same sex marriage legal.

Crazies are getting excited because same sex marriage is going to pass and they don't like it.
We're very secular by the world's standard.


BTW Americans are behind this recent anti same sex marriage movement : http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_yo...behind-a-french-let-the-people-vote-site.html

Basically American Catholic Conservatives went into France, Uganda-style, to preach hate.

 

[Luigiv]

And yet not a single explanation of how gay people can possibly destroy traditional marriage.

At all.

I think this video does a pretty good job of explaining the evils of same-sex marriage. Watch it, there's no way you can argue with that.

Conservative right-wing minority to put it more accurately. I consider myself liberal and right-wing overall, even though I blank voted for both rounds in May, yet I really don't get what the big deal is here. Guys say the reform will make French morals go further to shit, but really, I think they have already hit such realms of non-return long ago. I sense no collective consciousness in France whatsoever, we are at the point of free-for-all. Traveling to other countries confirmed my vision.

As much as gay marriage is going to change homosexuals' lives, it isn't going to change yours. Marriage, a right for everyone.​

That was a picture I found on the FB page of someone in favor of the gay marriage. The coincidence is funny: I'm neutral about the whole thing exactly by the same line of thought.

 

[Agnostic]

I'm glad these people are protesting and aware of what is going on. This just makes it better when they lose and watch history pass them by.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

France is pretty whiggidy whack.

I like the 'I'm not against gays, I'm for marriage' crap though.

It's such bullshit - if you're for marriage then you should be cheering at gay marriage. Especially since you know some of those dudes will do it way better than straight folks.

I just hate that we even need to have this debate. Bigoted backwards people throwing a shitfit, holding the human race back. Fuck them.

 

[Castor Krieg]

Organizers insist they are not against gays and lesbians, but for traditional marriage. "We are marriagophile, not homophobe," said Barjot, author of a book entitled "Confessions of a Trendy Catholic."

Just don't let gays marry, kk? Ah, mental gymnastics!

 

[Aaron]

They should probably read what the Bible says about marriage because I'm pretty darn sure they're nowhere near tradition.

"I'm not a racist, I'm just pro white."

Oh yes, you are. Don't deny it.

 

[Riddick]

You guys suck, stop being disappointed and start celebrating these protests. The more these retards stick to their stupid primitive crap the more irrelevant religion becomes and the more it's hated by the youth. I say keep going Christians.

 

[G.O.O.]

Is this really a fucking leash ?

 

[Ziltoid]

Disguising. Being against adoption is especially cruel I'd say. "Better leave the children alone in an orphanage than having two loving dads/moms".

To be fair, the demand for adoption in France is already much higher than the "offer". So I don't think orphanages are over-crowded.

Looks like it.

I can't wait for the law to pass next June to shut the damn bigots off, they've been on a roll lately. Things will cool down eventually, they always do. Anyway, there's going to be a counter-demonstration in Paris on January 27th. Hopefully this one makes headlines, too.
