Thousands of conservatives march in Paris, yelling `Jews, get out of France!`

(Community Matters) Stunning reports of rising anti-Semitism in France.

French conservatives, following the example of American Republicans, are trying to use gay marriage, and gay rights generally, as part of a larger wedge to divide Frenchmen and win future elections on the backs of the country’s gay and lesbian community.

But of course, as we’ve learned far too often, once you start fanning the flames of intolerance, it’s awfully hard to control the animus you’ve created.

Anti-gay demonstrators in Paris give the fascist salute while confronting police during an anti-gay-marriage protest in 2013.
