Les femmes trans sont des femmes. Les lesbiennes, on doit nos droits aux travailleur.e.s du sexe trans et racisé.e.s, vous l'oubliez trop souvent. Merci à elles de rendre cette pride plus safe.

Ugh, have the French forgotten their own history now to just rely on a bad revision of American history? Napoleon is the one who legalized same-sex attraction back in 1791 almost 200 fucking years before an American gay man and drag queen didn't start a riot.

Can we just stop importing American shit to Europe?

Napoleon also forced his legal code, legalizing homosexuality, into Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Switzerland as well, but Switzerland banned it again after regaining independence from France.

So, yes, Napoleon did way more for gay rights than Malcolm Michaels Jr. ever did. It might have been mostly to piss off the pope, but he did it.

Homosexuality was penalised again in France after World War... two, I think. The law was against "inappropriate public behaviours" though, lol. So the discrimination is invisible. It got tweaked multiple times, I don't remember which president finally removed homosexuality from "inappropriate public behaviours."

Sad when fellow countrymen and women think the Americans gave us our rights lol
