Huge protest in France (again) with hundreds of thousands of people marching against same-sex marriage.   AP reports - Paris riot police fought back crowds who pushed their way onto Paris' landmark Champs-Elysees avenue as part of a huge protest against a draft law allowing same-sex couples to marry and adopt children.

Sobering thought.
