Lesbian kiss steals spotlight at French anti-gay parenting protest

http://www.france24.com/en/20121024-lesbian-kiss-steals-spotlight-gay-parenting-protest-marseille-lgbt-marriage-france



A demonstration against same-sex parenting was interrupted Wednesday by its very target, when two women interrupted the event by sharing a kiss.

The “Un papa une maman" ("one dad one mum&quot demonstration featured a performer sporting a spandex suit and wings, fluttering between “mamas” and “papas” before gaining steam from the cheers of both. The performance was supposed to demonstrate that a child needs both a mother and father.

But it was quickly outdone by a spontaneous act between two women, whose embrace in front of the crowd left some of the protesters open-mouthed and prompting others to turn their heads away.

The kiss was captured by an AFP photographer and posted online by French LGBT magazine Têtu.fr and popular US website BuzzFeed.com, after which it went viral on Twitter.
