1 million march in Mexico against homosexual ‘marriage’ - not 10,000 as reported by news
More than one million Mexicans across 122
cities marched in support of marriage and the natural family on Saturday in
response to President Enrique Peña Nieto’s moves to enshrine same-sex
“marriage” in the nation’s Constitution.
The pro-family activist group Frente
Nacional Por La Familia (“National
Front for the Family”) organized the protests. There were an estimated 275,000
marchers in Guadalajara and 100,000 in Querétaro. Some other cities’ protests
reached nearly 100,000.
Frente Nacional Por La Familia warns that
Peña Nieto’s proposed reforms would allow same-sex adoption and lead to the
collapse of parental rights related to sex change surgery on children and
school curricula promoting homosexuality, transgenderism, and sexual activity.
The demonstrators carried pink and blue
balloons and signs depicting families.
A spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Mexico
City recently said the government’s mission to impose same-sex “marriage” has
led to the greatest
clash with the Catholic Church since the persecution that ignited the Cristero
War. He said Peña Nieto’s treatment of the same-sex marriage issue
was a betrayal and felt like a “terrible stab in the back” to the Catholic
hierarchy, whom he has courted heavily in the past.
On September 24, Frente
Nacional Por La Familia will
host a Grand National March in Mexico City.
