The march wound its way across the Left Bank and was expected to
culminate in a gathering on the vast Invalides esplanade Sunday evening.
A heavy police presence was deployed along the route. Previous
anti-gay marriage protests in recent weeks have degenerated into
violence. A counterdemonstration by those in favour of the bill was
organized across the Seine river on the large Bastille square.
Polls have shown a narrow majority of French support legalizing gay
marriage, though that support falls when questions about adoption and
conception of children come into play.
