I saw on the news that in France there are serious protestations against the new rights for gay people to get married. Are these protests mostly based on religious ideologies or are there other reasons why people would not agree with gay marriage? If so what other sorts of reasons are there?

as i mentioned, perhaps some didn't see the irony, the French heterosexuals are happy to bonk anyone they choose, their politicians are particularly adept at keeping untold mistresses, but many don't care for the idea of two men getting married, perhaps it dents their masculinity to think a man might prefer, love, another man. I don't care one one or the other, but their hypocrisy does.
Em, really? You know the whole French population?

I have only heard anti gay marriage arguments based on religious ideologies. Others who are anti tend not to have an argument, just a phobia.
now that would difficult wouldn't it, however there is plenty of evidence, not just from wives that have found their husbands cheating that it is and has been a problem, that somehow having a mistress wasn't seen as anything shocking, a rather laissez fair attitude. have you ever lived, been there, met any French man, woman, i have, and found their attitude towards affairs difficult to understand, or perhaps it's just our idea that marriage is for life, that no one cheats, yet many do.
It's no different there, i can only see the hypocrisy of some French people not wanting two men who love one another get hitched.
Lol Ratter.

Although I do think some people are scared, like gayness is contagious!!
Yes, I have been to France. Yes, I have met French people. No, I've never lived there.

It's the same the world over. Some people cheat, some don't. Some have a blasé attitude, some don't.
i think it's our attitude, that everyone should be faithful in relationships. We are always shocked when someone cheats on us, or you read of so called happy marriages fall apart because of infidelity, the people i met there didn't see it that way, that the husband might have a fling, take a mistress but it was accepted, don't ask me why, i wouldn't do that. But i do know it went on, with male colleagues, friends. I was dating an English bloke, but that didn't stop the lechers from pouncing, every woman, well almost, seemed fair game.
It's not just the French though.

My aunty and uncle have spent their whole 'happy' marriage cheating on each other.
I wasn't accusing marienne Le Penn of being homophobic

That's why I said she was milking it, cynically trying to elbow her way into a right leaning cause to push her own agenda.

As for ignoring her - well I think we can look at the experience with her father in 2002

Riding a wave of disillusionment with the parties he made it through top the final round against Chirac.

When the French realised this to their horror they turned against him in such numbers that Chirac won with the greatest landslide in French Political history with over 82% of the vote!
