France determined to legalise gay marriage despite demos


PARIS (Reuters) - A huge weekend protest against the legalisation of same-sex marriage and adoption has not dented the French government's determination to pass the planned reform into law soon, leading cabinet ministers said on Monday.

In one of the largest protests in decades, roughly half a million people marched through Paris on Sunday demanding that President Francois Hollande withdraw the reform bill and hold a national debate before any change in the definition of marriage.
