More Than 100,000 in France Protest Gay Marriage

Protest is being called the "March for Everyone"

In shocking news to folks who figured the French were very supportive of this sort of thing, more than 100,000 people across France have taken to the streets to voice opposition to a bill legalizing same-sex marriage and adoption in the country.

The protest, ironically called the "March for Everyone," has popped up in cities and small towns across France.
