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

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

Absolutely. They are not born that way, they are warped by something in life and at some point they decided they want to have sex with daddy.

There is no difference, IMO, between a homosexual and a pedophile except a difference in degree. They are both sick and should be treated as such.

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

That'd be my take. One side may not like you much, but the other has a habit of hanging you and your friends from industrial cranes. That's not a difficult choice.

“However, in the space of two months, five gay men were murdered in the city.”

In the US we have, maybe, one gay man killed every 5 years because of his sexual orientation.

If this really happened in just one city in France, they have a REAL PROBLEM there.

If the gays oppose Islamo-Fascism, they are on my side.....we’ll deal with our differences after this enemy is defeated.
