A crowd estimated by organizers to be 200,000 strong marched against homo marriage and for family values in Paris, France, yesterday, while homo and “Femen” activists attacked police.

The demonstration was called by the Manif pour Tous, a Catholic-inspired grassroots activist movement created to support normal families, and to demand the repeal of the homo marriage laws which are now three years old.

A banner proclaiming “in 2017 I vote for the Family” led the procession, which was attended by at least two members of the National Assembly of France, Jean-Frédéric Poisson (Christian Democratic Party), and Marion Maréchal-Le Pen (Front National).

In addition, the famous Mayor of the city of Bezier, Robert Ménard (who was recently in the news for starting a campaign to prevent invader “refugees” from being settled in his city), and several other prominent politicians, including Henri Guaino, a former advisor to Nicolas Sarkozy, were also in attendance.

The demonstration ended at the famous Trocadero Plaza, near the Eiffel Tower, where they also announced their opposition to the use of assisted reproduction techniques and surrogate mothers to help same-sex couples have babies. Currently, assisted reproduction is allowed in France only for infertile heterosexual couples and surrogacy is banned.

The group behind the march promotes the traditional family model of “one mother and one father.” It hopes to influence the debate before next year’s presidential election.

Many people held flags with the colors of the movement set against the silhouette of a heterosexual couple holding hands.

Six “Femen” activists—bare-breasted protestors with slogans on their bodies—were arrested by the police.
