About a hundred persons demonstrated on November 7th at Ralliement square in favor the passing of a law giving to lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual and heterosexual the right to get married and to adopt children. The date coincided with the consideration by the French council of ministers of a bill widening to persons of the same sex the right to get married as other persons. Consecuently, the bill opens to the persons concerned the right to adopt a child. 
Several Angers associations took the initiative of that gathering, as "Quazar Lgbt (1) Centre of Angers" and "Les enfants de l'arc en ciel - L'asso" which claims that "The (French) republic must recognize all families and must protect all children". These communities say the bill is not going as far as it would be necessary because female parents must be able to get maternal assisted procreation.
The opinion of the Angers population regarding the homosexual marriage and adoption is unclear. The city looks quite conservative but could be, logically, in phase with the French opinion mostly in favor of the right of the persons above to get married. On the other hand, the opening, to these persons, of the right to adopt children is more controversial. But since a long time (maybe more than 30 years) Angers elects Socialist mayors. Now, sympathizers to the bill are more numerous on the left side in France than on the right side.(1) Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual
