Although France officially legalized gay marriage last month, organizers of an anti-gay marriage -- or "pro-family" -- parade decided to go forward with a planned demonstration Sunday -- and hundreds of thousands turned out.
Sandy Glass from Naperville, Illinois, was in Paris and witnessed the parade unexpectedly, telling TheBlaze she and her husband estimated more than 250,000 people were present.
"We go to France a lot and thought it was another left wing protest," she said later, recalling that last year they found themselves in the middle of a Socialist rally.
The Associated Press reported there being about 5,000 police present for the demonstration, due to clashes that have occurred in other anti-gay marriage protests.
