French religious right promises to spill blood over gay marriage push (Graphic photo)

The anti-gay French religious right, which has close ties to the American “family values” groups, most notably the lead anti-gay-marriage group in the US, National Organization for Marriage (NOM), is promising to spill blood if the French government moves ahead with plans to expedite the passage of a law legalizing gay marriage in the country.
French President François Hollande, who was sworn in last May, promised as part of his campaign to legalize same-sex marriage. The French parliament is now in the process of finishing legislation doing just that. The key portions of the legislation have passed, and final passage is now considered inevitable.
Rather than debate the bill for another four weeks or more, the majority party has put the bill on an expedited path towards a final vote, which has further enraged the already-violent anti-gay-marriage movement in France (which is also heavily infiltrated by the Catholic church). Opposition leader, and comic, Frigide Barjot, promised on Friday that the family values groups will spill blood if the legislation is expedited:
“Hollande veut du sang, il en aura ! Tout le monde est furieux. Nous vivons dans une dictature.”
“Hollande wants blood, and he’s going to get it. Everyone is furious. We live in a dictatorship.”
The blood is already spilling. Wilfred de Bruijn and his boyfriend were brutally beaten in Paris a week ago by several men shouting homophobic epithets, he say. The photos of his injuries, that he posted on Facebook, caused such a stir the French Interior Minister called Bruijn to express his personal shock.
