LGBT: why not give them a seat in the UN Security Council?

France now has a Minister for Gender Diversity (pictured) and will soon have an LGBT+ Ambassador. The author of the magazine “Kozer” notes that here we are not talking about equality, but about the privileges of a separate LGBTQIABCDEF+ nation…

Last Thursday, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced the creation of an ambassador for LGBT+ affairs in the country. It will begin to represent this most important part of the population of our country by the end of the year. Equally hastily, a €3 million fund will be set up to fund ten new LGBT+ centres. The matter, of course, is urgent: there are only 35 of them in France, so more must be added immediately, writes Marie Pinsard, author of the French magazine “Kozer”.

Some will see it as a strange coincidence that this multiplication of LGBTQIABCDEF+ centers came at a time when party cells and deputies of the Insubdued France (LFI) party were in full swing demanding the resignation of four ministers suspected of homophobia. This party is always quick to guess the criminal hostility towards homosexuality behind the statement of its opponent. Hatred of the French in areas where “ethnic diversity” rules the show, this party does not see point-blank. But who knows: maybe creating a job for a homo-ambassador is really just a coincidence.

Glorious 40th Anniversary

The announcement of this new vacancy in the echelons of power came during a solemn visit by Madam Prime Minister to the LGBT+ center in Orléans, on the occasion of “the fortieth anniversary of the law decriminalizing homosexuality.” The statement is meant to be in tune with Emmanuel Macron’s pledge to fight discrimination against LGBT+ people in Europe and around the world, which the president announced in an interview with Têtu (The Stubborn) magazine back in April.

Thematic ambassadors, designed to represent this or that oppressed minority, appeared in France in the early 2000s. And now they represent the voice of France at the international level on relevant topics, extending the hand of LGBT cooperation or LGBT negotiations to a bunch of other countries. Additional influence of France in the world? Why not? But the relevance of this new appointment is questionable. It seems to be a typical PR campaign, and even with a very shaky foundation.

Mitterrand’s deceptive law

The confusion began after President François Mitterrand presented a 1982 law passed under him as a landmark legal norm decriminalizing homosexuality. That is, terminating criminal liability for a really not terrible feeling of love for a person of the same sex as you. In fact, Mitterrand was lying: by that time, homosexuality was no longer considered a crime in France. Presenting it this way was a political strategy that elevated the left (and Mitterrand was a socialist president) to the pedestal of the liberators of love, and sent their opponents to the old world, to the times when the witches were burned. We now know that such a strategy makes life difficult for normal people. It creates fertile ground for the growth of the wokism movements – all those belated fighters against racism and male chauvinism who came to the battlefield when the victory had long been won.

So was the law on the “decriminalization of same-sex sexual relations” under Mitterrand: it actually replaced the norms established by the Vichy regime. These laws were not at all that repressive: they only said that “anyone who committed an obscene or unnatural act with a minor person of his sex under the age of 21 (the age of majority at that time), well, any such homosexual lover of young people was punished up to 3 years of imprisonment. adults and even with the participation of minors under the age of 15 were allowed by the Vichy regime – both in homosexual and heterosexual versions.Such equality – we already had it at the time of the 1982 law.

gay friendly fashion

But the vogue for gay friendly (gay-friendly) style of government is now so strong that Elizabeth Bourne keeps upping and raising the stakes in this game. She calls on the birthplace of human rights (France) to fight for the recognition of the rights of homosexuals, bi- and transgender people at the national, European and global levels. A noble cause, do not say anything. True, there is one inconsistency: for some reason we did not hear Emmanuel Macron raise this topic at a reception in honor of Emir Mohammed bin Yazed, the dictatorial ruler of a country where homosexuals are punished by death. But what real value can this new embassy with a rainbow flag bring to France?

Community without borders

Paradoxically, the extended name given to it narrows the field of its activity and the uniformity of its mission. The abbreviation LGBT with a + sign does not refer to factual, objective or legal reality. It refers to a community that can expand itself to infinity. Already today it denotes lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and now all other categories of people who are not strictly heterosexual are being added. There are also pansexuals, asexuals, intersex, non-binary, queer, etc.
Suffice it to say that in the absence of uniform legislation, it is not clear who we will protect and how. It would be nice to find the lowest common denominator in order to claim protection: who is considered oppressed and in need of protection among all these subtle differences between the most curious minorities?
To use the LGBT+ acronym and protect it with ambassadorial status is (apart from giving in to “wokism” and “cancellation culture”) to risk trampling France, our nation and republic. After all, it turns out that we are only defending a multitude of communities and minorities, and not our common homeland. Under normal conditions, homosexuals and transsexuals, being part of our national community and our compatriots, would already be protected – by the fact of their citizenship. Their rights and obligations cannot be modified because of their gender or sexual orientation. The dream of many homosexuals in the past was precisely not to be rejected by society, but to merge with “normal” citizens.

From equality to privilege

Today, in many parts of the world, sexual minorities have already crossed the line where they have struggled not to be outcasts, isolated people who are rejected and considered sick. Then, up to this stage, these communities wanted to naturally integrate into the common cultural environment. Contrary to these desires, organizations boasting of the acronym LGBT+ claim their right to privileges, to “otherness” exactly where all honest people previously sought universal full equality. Hiding behind flags, codes, claims, attributing to people many different “sexualities”, denouncing “heteronormativity”, these people hang the sword of Damocles in accusation of homophobia over everyone who disagrees with them. They arrogate to themselves the right to speak on behalf of all homosexuals in France, of each of its regions. But this is inequality: soon we will see a gay union, a pansexual driver’s license or a special fast-track procedure for issuing a gay visa in the passport.

Without recognizing the sin of lobbying, the LGBT + movement shows that it is simply irresponsibly sowing discord at the national level. Transsexuals are not homosexuals, and the discussion is inappropriate here. She only runs the risk of embarrassing the ambassador, who will have enough trouble to also engage in “pedagogy” for trances. The rhetoric about “educating respect for gays” and “pedagogy against hatred” is used too often by the government anyway. Many in France are already afraid that so-called tolerance will lead men to desire to castrate themselves in order to have a vagina and enjoy privileges.
Caricature? Yes, I admit it, but the caricature comes out sad. Spoiled children of the West, focused on their personas, want everything at once, and at the same time. They don’t want to clean up their room and even less deal with their gender, forgetting that in many parts of the world the awakening that wokism demands doesn’t come at the same time.

In addition, if we give the floor to everyone at the same time, we will not hear anyone. Our ambassador will often stumble over a number of issues, such as the GPA (surrogate motherhood law, banned in France), which guarantees parenthood for gay couples. Will he be classified as homophobic in those countries where this practice is allowed?
Let’s wait to see the chosen lucky one, the future ambassador. Although this embassy already gives the strange impression of a sinecure for subsidies, an alibi for a clear conscience, and all this at allegedly low costs at public expense. By the way, don’t we already have a constitution – a text of a universal nature that has constitutional value? Isn’t there a Declaration on the Rights of Man, the values ​​of which must be defended by our ambassadors, wherever they may be? Are we, after all, not the heirs of the Hellenic-Judeo-Christian civilization, where human dignity has one meaning? Let’s protect ourselves the way we are. And then we ourselves will not notice how we will be remade.
