Parisian gays brutally assaulted for kissing in public

[Martinus]

Guess by what religious group?

Wait for it...





wait for it...





you guessed it!






Christian fundamentalists!

From huffpo:

The French website Yagg has posted video (with English translations) of a gay 'kiss-in' that took place in Paris despite various reported threats of violence.

Towleroad has a translation of the report:

"The "kiss-in" had originally been planned to take place in front of Notre Dame Cathedral but Christian Fundamentalist websites called in to "defend their faith against this provocation" using 'aids bags', 'sodomites' and other homophobic insults. The websites called for a violent response so the organizers decided to change the location to place Saint Michel in the nearby Latin Quarter, after the police strongly encouraged it, saying they could not protect them in case of trouble. The kiss in was held peacefully at St-Michel but some gays went to Notre Dame anyway and witnesses are saying 200 Christian activists were expecting them, and after they started kissing, they were attacked with motorbike helmets and kicked."

Just posting this to show the Christian fundamentalists (at least in the West, where, unlike muslims in Iran, they are NOT running their own theocracies) are as bad as the Muslim ones. I hope the Republic takes steps to curb this brand of fundies as well.

I'm surprised there's still some of them in France. Don't worry Marti, they'll be tortured & reeducated.

Knowing the French they will probably herd them into ghetto's and forbid the wearing of pink.

There is no pattern.  Martinus is just a blip ni the Matrix.  Don't draw attention to yourself.

They should have tried to do it in front of a mosque.

Only fair.  Christians can't publicly display their thing.  Why should gays?

[chipwich]

At first I thought it said Persian gays and wondered what the big deal was.

That or in front of Saint Nicolas du Chardonnet church, squatted by Lefebvrists and the like (Society of Saint Pius X). They even managed to get excommuniated by John Paul II...

Their relationship with extreme-right wings movements is nothing new and guess what, the same extreme-right wing are likely to be behind the assault.

PS:
This is not the first time and it's a good PR exercise for all parties involved...
