FRANCE-GAY-MARRIAGE-LAW

A militant sticks on January 11, 2013 posters on a billboard in the French western city of Nantes, advertising for the national demonstration to be held in Paris on January 13 against the legalisation of gay marriage. Plans by France’s Socialist government to extend marriage and adoption rights to gay couples have proven deeply divisive, igniting fierce protests from opponents including Catholic and Muslim leaders, with a new mass rally planned in Paris for January 13. Poster reads “Let’s protect the civil marriage”. AFP PHOTO / DAMIEN MEYER
