I've always thought of France to be far more open minded than this.
Truly bizarre. Wtf?

If something just isn't your cup of tea, be it abortion, same sex marriage, whatever, simply don't indulge.
It seems so senseless, to me, that people expend so much energy and negativity on issues that have no direct adverse effect on them.

Of course I was raised by sensible, sane parents who espoused ideals such as "live and let live", the golden rule, as originally written and not the do unto others before they do unto you, or because you can.

I watched "Gaycation with Ellen Page" on VICE and the episode about France was very eye-opening. I, like I am sure many others, think "France" and automatically think "open society in regards to LGBT". WRONG! So, this news is not a surprise to me. France is less liberal in regards to GLBT rights and concerns than many might think.
