Un communiqué du Centre LGBT de Paris
Un communiqué du Centre LGBT de Paris
Paris, le 20 février 2010
Un déchaînement de haine semble s’abattre sur des gays, lesbiennes et trans. agressés un peu partout en France, dans le quartier parisien du Marais également ; menacés, injuriés par des groupes d’intégristes catholiques qui ne supportent pas que l’on s’embrasse sur le parvis de Notre Dame ; et maintenant des menaces de mort adressées à Montpellier, aux plus jeunes d’entre eux.
En effet, les jeunes gays pris en charge à Montpellier par l’association Le Refuge, ont été menacés de mort. L’association a reçu un courrier comportant des menaces de mort à l’encontre des jeunes rejetés par leur famille et bénéficiant d’un hébergement temporaire. L’auteur du courrier annonce qu’ » ils vont être criblés de plomb et mis en pièces détachées » ! Ces jeunes, déjà fragilisés, en souffrance, sont nécessairement déstabilisés par une telle haine.
Le Centre LGBT Paris IdF qui accueille régulièrement des jeunes dans la même situation que ceux hébergés par le Refuge tient à leur témoigner ainsi qu’à l’association qui les prend en charge, tout son soutien et sa solidarité.
Nous avons noté avec satisfaction le soutien de la Maire de Montpellier, Hélène Mandroux et nous espérons que la préfecture mettra en œuvre les moyens nécessaires pour assurer la protection des jeunes protégés du Refuge de l’auteur de ce courrier, également que ce dernier sera arrêté et condamné pour cet acte de haine homophobe.
Certains diront que toute cette violence est le prix à payer pour une plus grande visibilité et liberté de vivre son orientation sexuelle au grand jour.
Nous nous inscrivons en faux contre cette supposition. Toutes ces manifestations de rejet, de haine à l’encontre des personnes LGBT sont encouragées par le laxisme des pouvoirs publics dont les réponses ne sont jamais à la hauteur de l’enjeu.
Les personnes agressées ont porté plainte et la justice va suivre son cours, si les agresseurs sont arrêtés, espérons que les sanctions seront exemplaires.
La répression, réponse judiciaire à posteriori est nécessaire mais insuffisante.
La société toute entière, ses institutions, à commencer par son système d’éducation, doivent se saisir de la lutte contre les LGBT phobies et plus généralement contre toutes les discriminations.
Adopter une pleine égalité des droits pour faire des citoyens LGBT des citoyens à part entière ; intégrer dés le plus jeune âge des programmes contre les discriminations sexistes, homophobes et racistes ; mener des campagnes d’information et de prévention contre ces discriminations ; promouvoir le respect des différences quelles qu’elles soient, handicap, couleur de peau, orientation sexuelle, identité de genre ; exhorter chacun à vivre curieux et respectueux des autres, de leurs valeurs et modes de vie…
Tout ceci exercerait une action pédagogique certaine, mais cela ne s’improvise pas et relève d’une véritable volonté politique qui manque manifestement à nos gouvernements.

Government accused of U-turn over faith schools' teaching on homosexuality
The government has been accused of performing a U-turn over an amendment allowing faith schools to teach about homosexuality in line with their "religious character".
Last week, schools secretary Ed Balls tabled an amendment to the Children, Schools and Families Bill that would allow faith schools to teach sex education "in a way that reflects the school’s religious character".
The amendment was designed to make clear that equality requirements do not force governing bodies or heads to teach about issues such as homosexuality and contraception in a particular way.
The Catholic Education Service claims to have successfully lobbied for the amendment on its website.
Campaigners say this means faith schools will be permitted to teach that homosexuality is wrong and that contraception and abortion are sinful. Around a third of schools in England are faith schools.
Some have gone as far as to describe it as "the new Section 28′, in reference to the 1988 law which banned the "promotion" of homosexuality. It was repealed in 2003.
Chairman of the Accord Coalition, a group for inclusive education, Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain said: "It is astonishing that the government plans to deny young people of their right to accurate, balanced PSHE [personal, social and health education] and sex and relationships education, and allow state funded schools to teach the subject from a particular religious viewpoint.”
“By taking this position, Ed Balls is implicitly condoning homophobia in schools and undermining attempts to tackle homophobic bullying. After Labour has done so much for equality, this looks like a 21st century Section 28 .”
The Pink Triangle Trust's secretary George Broadhead agreed, saying: "By taking this position, [the government] is implicitly condoning homophobia in schools and undermining attempts to tackle homophobic bullying. This looks like another Section 28.”
Andrew Copson, the chief executive of the British Humanist Association, added: "The government has U-turned on their commitment to young people, trading children's rights for the support of a minority religious lobby.
"We are deeply concerned that the government’s amendment effectively gives licence to faith schools to teach SRE [sex and relationships education] in ways that are homophobic, gender discriminatory and otherwise violate principles of human rights."
Liberal Democrat shadow schools secretary David Laws said the U-turn was "serious and undesirable".
Mr Laws added: “State-funded schools should not be free to put their own spin on sex and relationship education.
“The government should not pander in any way either to homophobia or to those who want young people kept in the dark when they are already exposed to these issues through the media well before the age of 16.”
According to the bill, schools should ensure that sex education “[is] appropriate to the ages of the pupils concerned and to their religious and cultural backgrounds”, “reflects a reasonable range of religious, cultural and other perspectives” and “emphasises the importance of both rights and responsibilities.”
A spokesman from the Department for Children, Schools and Families said that all schools would have to teach sex education when the new requirements came into law next year.
He told the Guardian: "All maintained schools will be required to teach full programmes of study in line with the principles outlined in the bill, including promoting equality and encouraging acceptance of diversity.
"Schools with a religious character will be free to express their faith and reflect the ethos of their school, but what they cannot do is suggest that their views are the only ones."

Amsterdam winners may get kisses from gay men, not girls
A left-wing party in Holland has suggested that winners of a cycle race should swap the traditional celebration of kisses from attractive girls for kisses from gay men.
Usually, the winner of the Amsterdam leg of the famous cycle race Giro d'Italia stands on a podium surrounded by women in miniskirts who kiss him.
Instead, a politician in the liberal city has argued that gay men should enjoy the honour of congratulating winners.
Associated Press reports that Fjodor Molenaar, an alderman from the Green Left party, which is part of the city's governing coalition, said: "It should be possible for gay men to celebrate with the winner. One rider in ten is gay."
The proposal has received support in the city, with a city spokesman saying: "It's an appealing proposal that fits well with the Amsterdam's tradition of supporting gay emancipation."
The owner of the television station which organises the winners' ceremony said he would prefer to see women on the podium but confirmed that three entrants for a contest to appear on the podium were gay men.

CONTROVERSIAL FROM BEGINNING TO END PREMIERE POSTPONED/ DO COMECO AO FIM - BRAZILIAN FILM
Perhaps set to become one of the most controversial films to come out of Brazilian cinema, a trailer for From Beginning to End, a movie about two brother's ...The film tells the story of two male brothers that develop a very close relationship when they are kids and such relationship becomes an incestuous love when they grow up.
I strongly support the right of artists to explore and express whatever ideas and/or vision they see fit. Art is how societies change and evolve, and because of that, there can’t be any topics in art that are “off-limits” to artists and this movie is a very genuinely thoughtful exploration of a very touchy subject.
Rafael Cardoso, João Gabriel Vasconcelos as two incestuous brothers in From Beginning to End
"Brazilian filmmaker Aluízio Abranches‘ Do Começo ao Fim (From Beginning to End), which revolves around a love affair between two brothers, has generated quite a bit of discussion in Brazilian online forums even though the film hasn’t been released, yet. Those waiting to check it out at the upcoming Festival do Rio, Rio de Janeiro’s international film festival, which runs Sept. 24-Oct. 8, will be disappointed.
Abranches has declared that his film won’t be ready in time for its scheduled screening. (Eliane Caffé’s O Sol do Meio Dia [The Midday Sun], about a dangerous love triangle in the Brazilian hinterlands, will take its slot.) As a result, Do Começo ao Fim will reach Brazilian screens only in November
According to Rosangela Dantas of the Rio daily Jornal do Brasil, who lauds Abranches’ effort to shake things up with his latest film, Brazilian cinema "has had its trajectory marked by prudishness and hypocrisy. Polemical subjects have almost invariably been treated in a superficial manner, making the movies in question prisoners of an absurd moral conduct."
In the Do Começo ao Fim cast: Rafael Cardoso, João Gabriel Vasconcelos, Gabriel Kaufmann, Lucas Cotrim, Júlia Lemmertz, Fábio Assunção, Jean Pierre Noher, and veteran Louise Cardoso.
By the way, more than 300 films from more than 60 countries are scheduled to be screened at the Festival do Rio’s many sidebars, among them Premiere Brasil, Global Panorama, Gay World, Limits and Borders, and Midnight Movies.
About 90 of the aforementioned films will come from France, as 2009 is the Year of France in Brazil. The French film series will include a mini-retrospective dedicated to Isabelle Huppert and an homage to Jeanne Moreau."

Houston elege primeira prefeita lésbica
A candidata lésbica, Annise Parker, venceu as eleições para a prefeitura de Houston, no Texas, com 53,6% dos votos. Parker se tornou a primeira prefeita lésbica da história de Houston, quarta maior cidade dos EUA.
A eleição foi sábado (12) e a contagem dos votos terminou na madrugada deste domingo (13).
A campanha eleitoral que antecedeu a eleição deste sábado foi marcada pela retórica antigay. Grupos religiosos conservadores e ativistas antigay apoiaram Gene Locke, principal adversário de Parker na disputa eleitoral, e condenaram o comportamento homossexual da candidata eleita.
Do outro lado, organizações de gays e lésbicas fizeram campanha para Parker.
Parker irá substituir o prefeito Bill White, que está há seis anos no cargo.

Un communiqué sur le site du gouvernement québecois
Vers une société plus juste, plus tolérante et plus riche de sa diversité - La ministre de la Justice rend publique la Politique québécoise de lutte contre l'homophobie
QUÉBEC, le 11 déc. /CNW Telbec/ - «Par le geste qu'elle pose ce matin, la société québécoise démontre une fois de plus qu'elle est à l'avant-garde en matière de droits des personnes de minorités sexuelles.» C'est en ces termes que la ministre de la Justice, Procureure générale du Québec et ministre responsable de la lutte contre l'homophobie, Mme Kathleen Weil (photo), s'est exprimée ce matin en rendant publique la première Politique québécoise de lutte contre l'homophobie. La politique privilégie des orientations et des choix stratégiques qui ont pour objectif de favoriser l'atteinte de l'égalité sociale des personnes de minorités sexuelles et de faire en sorte que le Québec devienne véritablement une société affranchie de préjugés. Ces orientations visent à reconnaître les réalités des personnes de minorités sexuelles; à favoriser le respect de leurs droits; à favoriser leur mieux-être, notamment en leur offrant des services adaptés à leurs besoins; et enfin, à assurer une action concertée de tous les acteurs sociaux dans la lutte contre l'homophobie. Cette politique a été élaborée à la suite du rapport De l'égalité juridique à l'égalité sociale - Vers une stratégie nationale de lutte contre l'homophobie, produit par la Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse, en mars 2007. «Qu'elles se traduisent par des mesures à grande échelle ou par de simples gestes au quotidien, je suis convaincue que chacune de nos actions pour contrer l'homophobie fera évoluer le Québec vers une société plus juste, plus tolérante et plus riche de sa diversité, tant au bénéfice de ses citoyennes et citoyens qu'à celui des prochaines générations», a souligné la ministre. Pour Laurent McCutcheon, président de Gai Ecoute et de la Fondation Emergence, et porte-parole pour l'adoption d'une politique de lutte contre l'homophobie, il s'agit d'un grand jour pour les communautés de personnes gaies, lesbiennes, bisexuelles, transsexuelles ou transgenres, qui souhaitaient vivement une telle initiative, d'autant plus qu'elle est le fruit d'une collaboration entre le gouvernement et les représentants du milieu. «Avec sa Politique québécoise de lutte contre l'homophobie, le Québec innove de nouveau en matière de reconnaissance des personnes homosexuelles et LGBT. L'égalité juridique étant chose faite, nous sommes désormais en marche vers une véritable égalité sociale, et cette politique sera un levier exceptionnel pour y arriver», a conclu M. McCutcheon.

Anti-Gay Protester Gets Dose Of Her Own Medicine
"An angry loser (right) came to Syracuse University to make a fool of herself by spreading pathetic hatred and was treated to a happy mutant style stunt by this smiling student, named Chris Pesto (left).
I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more.
This woman was wearing a ankle-length corduroy skirt, which, as we all know, is a fashion nono. So, in order to make her feel uncomfortable, I stood next to her and held a sign that said Corduroy skirts are a sin! I don't think I have ever drawn so much attention in my life. SO many people asked to take a picture with me, I got laughs, high fives and there were the few that even cursed off the woman standing behind me.
As I drew interest to what was going on with myself and the woman with the hateful sign, I started to draw a crowd that stood with me in support. Before I knew it I had 100+ people holding signs for gay rights asking people to honk their horns to support. I was interviewed by a news station, and more than 5 student organization papers, and the post standard of syracuse.
I never expected anybody to come stand by me and support and I appreciate it so much that everyone came! It meant so much and it proved to those ignorant people that we aren't afraid, and we will put up a fight.
I'm proud that Syracuse has such a homosexual friendly community."

CAMBRIDGE (USA): MADAME LE MAIRE SE MARIE À L'ÉGLISE AVEC SA PARTENAIRE
Le dimanche 30 août devrait être, selon la formule consacrée, le plus beau jour de la vie du Maire de Cambridge (Massachussets), Madame E. Denise Simmons se mariera en effet avec sa partenaire de longue date à l'Eglise épiscopale St. Bartholomew Madame Mattie B. Hayes.
Mais cette cérémonie est aussi une première: la Maire[sse] de Cambridge est lesbienne et afro-américaine. Ce sera sans doute la première fois que l'union de deux personnes du même sexe se déroulera au sein d'une église majoritairement fréquentée par des Afro-américains. Madame Simmons est profondément consciente des implications sociétales plus profondes dont son mariage est porteur: elle sait que le fait d'être une afro-américaine ouvertement lesbienne et d'exercer une responsabilité publique comme la sienne a déjà tracé un chemin d'espoir pour beaucoup de femmes et d'hommes. Elle est consciente de l'impact que son mariage pourra avoir. Dans le communiqué de presse qu'elle a fait délivrer elle déclare:
"Je sais qu'il pourrait s'agir de la première église afro-américaine à célébrer le mariage de personnes du même sexe, et c'est quelque chose qui n'aurait pas été possible il y a quelques années. Mais les temps ont changé, les gens ont développé plus d'acceptation pour leurs concitoyens, et nous évoluons peu à peu vers un monde du type 'vivre et laisser vivre'. Ce processus n'est pas facile, mais je pense que tous les messages attentionnés qui m'ont été adressés à propos de cette cérémonie suggèrent que nous vivons dans une société plus aimable et plus ouverte. Notre société est vraiment en rain de faire des progrès".

LE NOUVEAU MONDE PART1
Lucie, 36 ans, conseillère d'éducation, en rêvait depuis longtemps. Après cinq ans de vie commune avec l'amour de sa vie, elle veut un enfant. Jusque là rien d'original, si ce n'est que «l'amour de sa vie» s'appelle Marion (37 ans, libraire). Dès lors, comment faire pour trouver la «petite graine» quand on est deux femmes et que l'on n'a pas envie de se faire féconder par un donneur anonyme ? Si elles arrivent au bout de leur projet, Lucie et Marion auront bien mérité leur nouveau monde
