Anti-gay marriage marchers take to French streets
A recent survey found that majority of French favor gay marriage.
Groups opposing President Francois Hollande s plan to legalize gay marriage and adoption have taken to the streets across France.
Hollande said he would enact his "marriage for everyone" plan within a year of coming to power this May, but vocal opposition from religious leaders, some politicians and parts of rural France has divided the country.
Saturday s event, entitled "march for everyone," attracted several thousand people in cities such as Lyon, Marseille and Paris.
There is a dress code of blue, white and pink aimed to put a spin on the French tricolore flag s traditional colors.
A recent survey found that majority of French favor gay marriage, the support for adoption for gay couples hovers at around 50 percent.
