France Gay Marriage Has Been Legalized

Despite some violent and loud opposition, Tuesday French parliament approved the so-called "marriage for all bill"
A huge crowd gathered outside France’s National Assembly Tuesday, both opposed to and in favor of the bill. Around 4,000 police officers and water cannon were on hand throughout the day to keep the crowd in check.
When President François Hollande first promised to legalize gay marriage, it was seen as relatively uncontroversial.
However, the country’s conservative movement rallied against the bill, despite a recent poll showing 63% of the French people support gay marriage.
