GAY TRUTH

PARIS, March 15, 2013 ( Heritage Foundation ) - On March 26, thousands of Americans will gather in Washington, D.C., for the national  March for Marriage . They’ll have to work hard to match the élan of the French , who are getting ready for their  third marriage rally  in Paris on the 24th. In November, 100,000 people gathered in the French capital to protest a bill to recognize gay marriage . On January 13, Paris was blanketed in a sea of a bright pink—who said that defending marriage could not be done with a bit of flair?—as a million people stretched for  half a mile in front of the Eiffel Tower , chanting  “Mariageophiles, pas homophobes!”  (“Marriage lovers, not homophobes!”) and  “Un père, une mère, c’est élémentaire!”  (“One father, one mother: It’s basic!”—which rhymes in French).

But the people of France had other ideas. You see, the French people know in their bones that every child deserves a mother and father. And so they've taken to the streets — hundreds of thousands of them! I firmly believe we need more of this kind of flesh-and-blood activism here in America . After all, we know we are the silent pro-marriage majority ... but do our friends, family and neighbors know we exist? I'm a proud son of America, but I believe we need to take a page out of the French playbook so that our fellow pro-marriage Americans can be inspired to rise up and take to the streets in defense of marriage, children and family. The pro-marriage movement in France is passionate,
