Hundreds protest in Lyon against proposed gay marriage legislation

 

(NewsPoint) – Hundreds of people are protesting in Lyon, France, against same-sex marriage, and for what they believe to be the protection of children.

Banners and t-shirts worn by participants read, 'A dad, a mum, period!', 'In defence of children', and 'Protect the weaker' (direct translations).

The demonstration appears to have been organised by Alliance Vita, a group that self-proclaims to "promote the protection of human life and the dignity of every person", and is a key part of the pro-life movement in France
