How Marine Le Pen is winning France’s gay vote
The Spectator (UK) ^ | 1/24/15 | Rachel Halliburton

Posted on 01/28/2015 5:56:47 AM PST by jalisco555

A week before the attack on Charlie Hebdo, France’s leading gay magazine, Têtu, announced the winner of its annual beauty contest. His name was Matthieu Chartraire, and he was 22, doe-eyed and six-packed, with perfectly groomed hair, stubble and eyebrows. A pin-up in every way — until he started talking.

To the anger of many of the magazine’s readers, the Adonis of 2015 turns out to be an outspoken supporter of the Front National. Têtu’s editor-in-chief, Yannick Barbe, refused to play censor. ‘It’s within his rights to vote for the FN even if we don’t share his beliefs,’ he said. ‘This is a beauty pageant, and our readers’ vote was only based on a single criterion! He only stands for himself and not for the gay community.’

Barbe has a point (although from next year, it’s worth noting, entrants for Têtu’s beauty contest will have to sign a code of ethics that rejects discrimination). But his assertion that Chartraire does not stand for the gay community overlooks a trend that has been accelerating over the last decade: French gay votersare falling for the Front National’s leader, Marine Le Pen. A survey by the polling firm Ifop indicates a dramatic increase in support for the FN among homosexual and bisexual voters since the French presidential elections of April 2012. It showed, for instance, that in Paris 26 per cent of homosexuals supported Le Pen, compared with 16 per cent of hetero-sexuals

Hmmm. Is this a case of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"?

They knows their survival depends on France staying French.

Ironically, the gay guys I knew in the 80’s said Middle Eastern men were the easiest hookups. They would pitch but not catch. The desire to pitch means you are gay. You have to be aroused to pitch. Anyone can catch.

Are you saying that "catching" has no arousal to homosexuals?

France’s problem is Muslims.
LePen supports deporting all Muslims.
Islam requires that Gays be beheaded or stoned to death.

Seems pretty simple to me.

If you get aroused at the thought of pitching(or catching), you are gay.
I knew a guy who pitched and said he wasn’t gay. A coworker splained him the facts. If you get aroused at the thought of having sex with a guy in any way, you are gay.
The ME guys thought they weren’t gay because they only pitched. Nay nay fat Santa

Or thrown off a building.

Perhaps with Muslims, and a nasty Algerian sort at that, hovering around ten percent of the population, residing in autonomous (read: No Go for non-Muslim French) suburban ring zones around the major cities, the homosexual “community” has gotten to know the real face of multiculturalism. Most Europeans and Americans, even those who understand sodomy for what it is and despise having it shoved in their face, wouldn’t think to have them rounded up and hanged, shot, or gassed in a concentration camp. But in spite of Islam’s more than tolerant attitude toward organized pederasty that’s exactly what they would want to do to people like Chartraire and Barbe.

What the Hadith (sayings of Mohammad) says about homosexuality:

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 773:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men.

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 774:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, "Turn them out of your houses ." The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and 'Umar turned out such-and-such woman.

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 775:

Narrated Um Salama:

that once the Prophet was in her house, and an effeminate man was there too. The effeminate man said to 'Abdullah, (Um Salama's brother) "0 'Abdullah! If Ta'if should be conquered tomorrow, I recommend you the daughter of Ghailan, for she is so fat that she has four curves in the front (of her belly) and eight at the back." So the Prophet said (to his wives) "These effeminate (men) should not enter upon you (your houses).

Mohammed was down on effeminate men. He wanted his men to be fierce warriors. They could bugger all the boys they wanted, as long as they did it in a masculine way.

That’s apparently the way it goes in South American countries.

Apparently you can pitch, but you’re only gay if you catch. It’s as if you’re more macho if you’re the pitcher when, in reality, it’s gay either way.

I always liked Andrew Dice Clay’s view of it: “you either s*** d***, or you do not **** ****. There’s no in between”

Lol.

To put it bluntly, if you get sodomized against your will, it doesn’t mean you are gay.

That woman proves that homosexual men have a serious mental illness. How the hell can a man not think she is beautiful and sexy

Makes sense. Still, no one has to make the choice to act upon this perversion. And any man can make the choice to be aroused by a women, or turn away. I'll stick with the Biblical principal that sex is for one man and one woman in marriage to each other for life. Anything outside this principal will have problems that may lead to death.

I have a friend who decided he was gay a few years ago, dumping the wife and kids. He’s already HIV+.

No, this is a case of keeping a head attached to a living body.

This is an interesting political lesson.

The left is always patronizing. In the US it embraced Jews until it was more pragmatic to embrace Muslims, then it allowed its inherent antisemitism to come to the fore. Likewise, I suspect there will come a time when the left thinks that Hispanics are more valuable than blacks, and the left will turn bitterly racist against blacks.

What the French homosexuals see is a simple equation. While the FN will perhaps argue with them over things, it will do so civilly, it won’t start murdering them. And, if they are being assaulted or murdered by someone, the FN will stand for law and order and arrest and prosecute those who do this, indifferent to the victims being homosexual.

And, if FN can, it will deport those who advocate violence and murder.

But the “mainstream” conservative (liberal) and socialist parties cannot be counted on to do this. They will both encourage increased violent and murderous immigration, and let the problem continue to ridiculous ends, at the severe detriment to the homosexuals.

You might win or lose a debate, but at the end of the day you can go home and relax. But if you are savagely beaten, you must live in fear, and if you are murdered, you are done.

Bottom line: the only chance homosexuals in France have left is to fully embrace and support FN. Or they will have no choice but to emigrate like the French Jews. And neither mainstream party stood up to support and protect them.

It’s a deathstyle, not a lifestyle.
