Topless French anti-gay marriage activists stage another homoerotic protest against equal marriage

A group of French topless anti-gay marriage activists has struck again with another display of homoerotic protests against the country’s equal marriage law.

The group were proudly displaying a flag for French anti-equality group La Manif Pour Tous in front of a mountain range, with their shirts off. Although some might question whether the men are really members of the anti-gay marriage brigade.

Another group of topless men recently staged a D-Day landing recreation, topless, to show their continued opposition to equal marriage in the country.

Les Hommen posted the video earlier this week, which features the protesters disembarking from an inflatable boat onto the Utah beach.

The men wore blank masks to hide their identity, and unfurled a banner reading: “Liberez Nicolas”, referring to a protester who was jailed for being part of an illegal protest.

The men first declared “No to Gay Marriage” by taking their shirts off in the streets, as a demonstration of how the government’s push for marriage equality was threatening their freedom.

This is just too fucking funny. :laugh:

Is this meant to 'keep the gay away'? If anything single gays will go to the protest and pretend to be homophobes just so they can march topless and climb on-top well shaped men.
This is a really big fail.

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

So this is a group of topless guys climbing a pole (I don't think the irony needs to pointed out here) to stop gays.

Oh, ok. Flawless plan.
Can't see how it would backfire in any way possible.

I would hatefuck that...

Genius :grin:

I don't quite understand this, unless it's some kind of joke to make homophobes look bad. The picture at the top kind of looks like it could be from a camping-trip themed porn film.

I love the file name. :laugh:

To me it seems like sort of a stereotype to find just any fit shirtless bloke "hot". Maybe it's self-deprecating humour.... I for one find their countenances all quite offensive!

[sixdollarchampagne]

The esthetics are really quite nice: slightly sunburned, developed young men, in an alpine setting. Too bad the politics are so rotten. The pictures are so pretty that one wonders if those guys are really against gay equality, or maybe they just really, really like the idea of being photographed and publicized. I am delighted the pictures were posted: in response to Tenka, just above, I think their "countenances" are totes adorable.

It's kind of off-putting when you think about it, though: homophobes making use of an inarguably gay male esthetic, in a campaign against equality. Yuck! (I still love the pix, though)

[Zostrianos]

Maybe it's only the marriage part that they're against.

I especially love these:

You know...because being on your knees with a gag in your mouth is really the best way to show how opposed you are to gay marriage :laugh:

"Democracy is dead" says the writing on the topless attractive guy lying in the lap of his totally straight friend.

How do these people not see the irony?

[hatzel]

How do these people not see the irony?

What makes you think they don't? Perhaps that's the whole point...?

[d3crypt]

This can't be for real :laugh: These guys are obviously just trolling to make homophobes look bad.

I don't think a site like this, which has links to rightist groups throughout France, is taking the piss.

Some "hilarity" in the personal accounts.


The testimony of two 19 and 17 years old sisters, unfairly taken into custody for more than 17 hours during the abusive roundups by the French police forces at the Invalides on May 26th.

“Five police officers are ruthlessly beating a young man on the ground, the boy screams in pain, the policeman then answers: “Shut up, shut up” … My fright is indescribable, if I move I get a beating, but even if I don’t I’ll still get one. An undercover policeman grabs my arm. I turn around and find myself facing a pepper spray at barely 10 cm and aimed at my eyes.”

“Three boys then arrive handcuffed as if they were potentially going to escape. You would need the will and strength to do so at 6 am…: “escape attempt” as the police put it! The search begins, the usual procedure: no more shoes, jewellery, hair pin, bra, mobile phone… The police bring us three in a tiny and vile cell. It should normally contain a bench for one person, but normality has disappeared from this world since 11pm the day before, so nothing surprises us anymore. We had a urinal at the back of the cell, with it a pungent smell, along with a sticky floor, the blood and urine on the walls. We try to get some sleep. Impossible. The worse might be the persisting drowsiness. Anxiety is eating at me: what had I done to deserve this?”

The next one comes in and sits down, the same cop then tells him: “I don’t like your face, but go ahead and sit”. The policeman that’s interrogating me deems appropriate to tell me things such as: “You have an angels face”, “You’re a little hotty”, “My friend wants your number”. Could he have thought for one second that the situation I was in was funny and that it meant he could say such things to me…? Later, I am taken to the place all the others are “stored” in; most of the boys are in a room and the girls in a corridor.”

The policewoman in charge of interrogation orders me to sit down, and starts an interrogation worthy of the German Gestapo. For her I’m a vermin, clearly I'm bothering her. She asks me all the questions one could think of, judging my every answer. For her, protesting is disrespectful, I should let people get married if they want to and there are worse things in life. “Have you even thought of the small Africans dying of hunger?” she tells me. I wish I could have told her that her job description did not include her judging my values and that in no way should she have done so. Considering I had been respectful this whole time and that I should not have to bear her moral lessons, but I didn’t want to make my stay here any longer, I therefore refrained from answering. She ends up telling me that the people from the Manif Pour Tous are assholes, that we lived in a world of assholes and that I should never forget it.”Any theories as to why the bourgeois state is pulling out all the stops?

Wow! These homophobes are even more attractive than the ones in the first two pix, IMHO. When I was young, ca. 1968, the French cops were beating up leftist student demonstrators, in the context of the longest and largest general strike in history. How time changes things! Now under the social dems, cop brutality in France is directed against homophobic right wingers – that's gotta be a first! The question that arises, and I don't pretend to know the answer, is whether it is in the interests of the workers to protest this wave of cop brutality.
