Gay rights activists staging a mass “kiss-in” to protest homophobia faced off with Roman Catholic protesters late Tuesday outside Lyon cathedral in southeastern France.
About 200 gay campaigners gathered outside the cathedral were heckled by dozens of counter protesters, including a group of skinheads wearing dark blue uniforms and gloves who gave a Nazi salute.
“It is a victory against obscurantism and intolerance,” David Souvestre, president of Gay Pride Lyon, told reporters.”But the presence of fundamentalists here, that was predictable,” he added.
Gay rights activists carried placards and banners including one declaring “Homophobia Kills. Free to love everywhere.”
Banners held by the Catholic counter-protesters including one that read: “We are the children of heteros, first, second, third generation”. Other Catholics dropped to their knees and said Hail Marys.

Ups, I made a mistake. The right headline should be “Roman Catholics Protest Together With Fascists Against Kiss-in in Lyon”. Don’t know how to edit it, sorry.
crazy combination of homophobia, but very true…
It’s always beautiful to see French men kissing each other.
It was a nice “Freudian slip” your title, I’d say, since this gays who want to impose their kiss-in in sacred places are no different from fascists. They want to end freedom of speech, you cannot crrticize an homossexual, or you would be an homophobe and, as such, must be jailed!
THEY are the real fascists.
