    On Sunday, October 16, 200,000 people took to the streets of Paris march in favor of marriage, urging politicians and voters to repeal France's same-sex marriage law before the upcoming presidential primary and election in 2017. Since gay marriage was legalized in the country in 2013, La Manif Pour Tous (Demonstration for All) has organized several large-scale marches in opposition.

    Participants gathered in the western section of Paris and marched towards the Eiffel Tower waving blue and pink flags and carrying signs with slogans that read "A father and a mother — it's hereditary," "All together for the family," and "In 2017, I'll vote for the family."



    One marcher stated, "I am against gay marriage and against the crappy leaders who oppose the power of the people."

    "Even if the gay marriage law has been adopted, we will continue the protest to show that it is not good and we want it to be repealed," another participant said. "We want to influence the political debate that will take place in the coming months."

    Another demonstrator explained that he was there because he wants a "return to the principles of Christian civilization in terms of family, institutions and work."

    Its heartening to see that a sense of morality and ability to distinguish right from wrong is very much alive in France, a country which the world thinks of as being ultra liberal
