                     Huge Anti Gay Marriage March in Paris

   Tens of thousands of protesters marched through Paris on Sunday against
   France`s recently passed same-sex marriage law.
   Police put the number of protesters at 150,000 while organizers say 1
   million people showed up. The march was generally peaceful, but about
   100 far-right demonstrators who fought with riot police were arrested.
   Sunday`s march targeted President Francois Hollande and his Socialist
   government as much as gay marriage. One group of protesters hung a
   banner outside Socialist party headquarters demanding that Mr. Hollande
   resign.
   France is a predominantly Catholic country but officially secular, and
   polls show most French support the right of same sex couples to marry.
