    I’ve lived in France for over 6 years, albiet most of those years homeless. One thing I’ve learned of the French people is that they’ll NEVER be satisfied with their politicians. Even if a politician were to just stand and breath air, a Frenchman would find something wrong with it.

    So I have some grasp of the shortcomings of French politicians. I also have some grasp on the shortcomings of how the French people like to portray their politicians. So I ask a simple question; are there examples of this particular politician expressing homophobic, anti-gay sentiments?

      IMHO islamophobia is a trend that people tend to use to shut people up. They also forget that France has been regularly attacked by muslim terrorists since the 80s/90s. All the muslims I know don’t care about that crap and they live their lives like everyone else. You wouldn’t even know they are muslims.

      It is the new generation that is offended every five minutes because, for some reason, France don’t like seeing traditional religious clothes from the middle ages all over the place, which comes from the catholic church that ruled with an iron fist until the revolution (and for an additional century from French people who were still deep into the sadistic teachings of the church).
