The association SOS Homophobia expressed deep indignation upon discovering the names of certain ministers within the French government. They are opposed to issues such as same-sex marriage, opening up assisted reproduction to lesbian couples, banning conversion therapies, constitutionalizing abortion, and the rights of transgender individuals. This has led to accusations that the government is reminiscent of “La Manif pour tous,” a collective that previously protested against same-sex marriage over a decade ago. The presence of ministers who oppose equality of rights has raised concerns among activists and advocates for LGBTQ+ and women’s rights.
The presence of ministers with conservative views in various government departments has also raised alarm among activists. There are concerns that these individuals may seek to roll back previously acquired rights in areas such as LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive rights. The president of SOS Homophobie, Julia Torlet, expressed worry about the potential impact of these ministers’ positions on the rights of marginalized groups. The Association for the Right to Die with Dignity (ADMD) has also demanded the immediate resumption of discussions on a proposed law, which was vehemently opposed by the newly appointed Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau. Retailleau is particularly known for his opposition to constitutionalizing abortion rights.
