Maybe I shouldn’t
be surprised that the issues of same-sex marriage and adoption by same-sex
couples has once again riled the masses to the point that they feel the need to
take to the streets and protest.
As I wrote the
sentence above, I remembered the crowd that gathered to protest
the Diversity March held in Yerevan in May 2012. And though those in
Armenia protesting diversity (they thought it was a Pride Parade, but still) is
not the same as those in France protesting same-sex marriage or adoption
rights, there is an underlying thread — it’s called homophobia.
