Thousands oppose gay marriage reform plan

Several hundred thousand people massed at the Eiffel Tower in Paris yesterday to protest against President Francois Hollande's plan to legalise gay marriage and adoption by June.

Three columns of protesters, waving pink and blue flags showing a father, mother and two children, converged on the landmark from different meeting points. Many had taken long train and bus rides from the provinces.
