The Syndicat de la famille ('Union for the Family'), better known under its original name of La Manif pour tous (LMPT), is a nonprofit organization and political movement based in France[1] which is responsible for most of the anti-gender and anti-LGBT demonstrations and actions that took place between 2012 and 2013, in opposition to the legalization of same-sex marriage in France (better known as mariage pour tous—"marriage for all"), as well as against the adoption of children by same-sex couples in France.[2]
Since the law was enacted in May 2013, the organization's demands have remained the same:[3] opposition to marriage and adoption by same-sex couples, to assisted reproductive technology in the absence of a father for the child, and to all forms of gestational surrogacy (including for male-female couples).[4] The movement supports father-mother-child filiation and opposes "gender ideology"[5] (successively named théorie du gender, théorie du genre and idéologie du genre in French).[citation needed]
Described by Le Monde as bringing together numerous organizations, of which the main ones are almost all religious and mainly linked to Catholicism,[1] and supported in its calls for public demonstrations by many members of the right wing and the far-right in France,[6] the group identified itself as apolitical and non-denominational[7] before it became a political party itself in April 2015.[8][9] Internal divisions resulted in the successive departures of its founders Béatrice Bourges, Frigide Barjot, and Xavier Bongibault.
