Piers Morgan got into with Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro over Shapiro's veiled homophobic tweets denouncing Jason Collins for being a called a "hero" for coming out.

Okay, relax, France.

In the wake of the French government's legalization of marriage equality, those that oppose same-sex marriage have taken to the interwebs.
