Though the law is guaranteed to pass Wednesday, these shitbirds are planning a big anti-gay-marriage demonstration for next month anyway. On my birthday, when I am going to be in town. I'll be able to counterprotest alongside all my lovely French LGBTQsies and allies, which will be a nice present.
I was going to make some crack about 'Parisblues,' but then I realized these guys are doing something besides just spouting off as many insults and slurs as they can pack into a paragraph, so the comparison wasn't really apt.
@6 - Yeah, that's weird. It's almost like they're being organized by an American group, a national organization that purports to be "for" marriage, as a show for American eyes.
@15: I thought the French preferred delivery method for pharmaceuticals was the suppository? That's what they told me in school. TMI, I called it at the time, but it stuck in my head.
The victory of the gay rights movement isn't just the expansion of norms to accommodate gays, it's the recognition that gay is a part of the norm. We're all a little gay, and even the most homophobic culture will reflect that.
Here's a fantastic video released by a French actor yesterday, with a handy translation. "Rassurez-vous": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhAdJsBsm…
And @7 --- oh, stop that crazy talk. That would never happen.
So chances are, the RWNJs overseas are taking crazy powders in their gassy water.
