Two straight male politician in France kiss to show off that they agree with same sex marriage. 

A pair of French politicians made a touching statement in support of LGBT equality this weekend, as protesters geared up for Tuesday’s parliamentary debate on the country’s marriage equality bill.

Socialist (and straight) members of French parliament Yann Galut and Nicolas Bays shared a kiss as part of the “Marriage for All” protests on Sunday, as tens of thousands marched around the country in support of same-sex marriage and adoption rights, reports French paper Liberation.

“We’re both straight, we’re both married with children,” Galut said, according to a translation by Gay Star News. “But today with the kiss of solidarity, it meant we, as parliamentary members who start fighting for same-sex marriage legislation in two days, we stand in solidarity with homosexuals.”

“While we were kissing, [the protesters] were screaming, ‘You’re disgusting! You are not beautiful!” one of the women told Têtu.

Sunday’s “Marriage for All” demonstrations were attended by an estimated 125,000, according to France 24. While polling numbers show that a majority of French support gay marriage, the government bill has galvanized anti-gay protesters who staged massive protests against it earlier this month. The bill would legalize same-sex marriage in France and afford full adoption rights for same-sex couples, according to CNN.
