French action for LGBT+ rights

What does LGBT+ mean?

The term “LGBT” was coined in the s. The term gay (homosexual), considered too restrictive, was replaced by this acronym which includes both sexual orientation (lesbian, gay, bisexual) and gender identity (transgender, non-binary). It is accompanied by a “+” to encompass other sexual orientations, identities and gender expressions and sexual characteristics, including intersex people.

Decriminalization and the protection of the rights of LGBT+ people is a priority of French foreign policy

While more than members of the United Nations include decriminalized homosexuality, consensual homosexual relations are still a crime in 61 countries, with 11 [1] of them including the death penalty among applicable sentences.

France advocates for the repeal of all legal provisions that criminalize homosexuality and transidentity. It does this in the name of human rights, which all States have pledged to through a number of international texts, particularly the right to privacy and family life, freedom fr

Madam President,

I wish to thank the Independent Expert on protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, Victor Madrigal, as well as Artemis Akbary and Maria Susana Peralta for their briefings.

I would also like to thank the United States for convening this meeting on a issue to which France attaches the greatest importance, and which we are only addressing for the second day in this Council, as you recalled, Madam President.

The protection, throughout the world, of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people, including their sexual and reproductive rights and health, is a priority for France. Last October, the President of the Republic appointed an ambassador dedicated to the rights of LGB

Paris, one of the most visited cities in the world, was nicknamed The City of Light because it was the birthplace of the Age of Enlightenment in the s. The nickname stuck and has since popularized because every evening, the city&#x;s many famous landmarks and sites are illuminated to full glory. These include the Eiffel Tower, the many boulevards, bridges, the Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe and many more. The Louvre Museum is the world&#x;s largest art museum as well as being a historic monument. Finally, the Marais district is the focal point of the city&#x;s LGBTQ+ scene with the landmark BHV and BHV Homme department store, the many small cafes, LGBTQ+ bars like Duplex, boutique shops and art galleries.

BRUSSELS - Rights activists say a possible far-right National Rally (RN) win in the second round of French parliamentary elections on Sunday could threaten progress on LGBTQ+ rights and fuel anti-LGBTQ+ violence.

Marine Le Pen's socially conservative RN party, which has spoken out against LGBTQ+ equality, made historic gains in the first round of the polls on June 30 and could well win a parliamentary majority.

Much will depend on deals between rival parties that have vowed to avert an RN victory by withdrawing candidates from hundreds of election run-offs so as not to split the vote against the far-right party.

The RN has voted against progressive LGBTQ+ rights legislation, both in France's two houses of parliament, and in the European parliament.

The RN has also opposed same-sex adoption, surrogacy and in-vitro fertilisation for lesbian co
