France's Gay Marriage Proposal Prompts Last-Ditch Opposition Protests

France's Gay Marriage Proposal Prompts Last-Ditch Protests
A pro gay marriage militant is arrested by anti-riot police officers during a demonstration by supporters of the anti-gay marriage movement 'La Manif Pour Tous' (Demonstration for all!) on April 18, 2013 in Nantes, western France. The final vote on France's landmark bill allowing gay marriage has been fast-tracked to next week. The bill has proved hugely controversial in a country that is officially secular but predominantly Catholic, mobilising hundreds of thousands of people for months in pro-and anti same-sex marriage protests nationwide, some violent.
