Two Nupes deputies questioned Élisabeth Borne on the presence of ministers who “chain homophobic and sexist statements” and one of the two asked for their “

dismissal

” on Tuesday July 19 during questions to the government.

I am waiting for you to dismiss your homophobic ministers

,” asked the rebellious MP Ségolène Amiot.

LGBT people are always attacked in the street.

In two years, LGBT-phobic attacks have increased by 20%

” and “

the motive of homophobia is too often refused by the police

”, she underlined.

"It's a crime"

But how to blame them when the government is far from exemplary, when several ministers chain homophobic and sexist statements

”, thundered the elected official in the hemicycle, quoting the Minister for Ecological Transition Christophe Béchu, of the Interior Gérald Darmanin "

and of course (Minister of Territorial Communities Caroline) Cayeux who always affirms her contempt for homosexuals

Present in the hemicycle, she did not raise her head.

While justifying herself on remarks made in 2013 on the "

unnatural

" character of marriage for all and adoption for same-sex couples, Caroline Cayeux declared that she had "

many friends among these people

" .

She also said to maintain her words, before backpedaling and apologizing.

"

It's not a clumsiness, it's a crime

", swept the ecologist Marie-Charlotte Garin.

“Fight against LGBT-phobias”

In 2013, Christophe Béchu had written a column in the conservative weekly Valeurs Actuelles against gay marriage and Gérald Darmanin had declared that he would not marry same-sex couples in his town hall in Tourcoing.

"

It's not a coincidence, it's a political choice

", retorted Marie-Charlotte Garin.

Élisabeth Borne, how can you name these people in your government?

“, she questioned.

You are targeting ministers, you are particularly targeting a minister, she apologized

”, replied Isabelle Rome, in charge of Equality between women and men and Diversity, under the boos of the left.

When it comes to the fight against LGBT-phobias, we have nothing to be ashamed of

,” she said.

"

Who opened PMA to all women, who banned conversion therapy, who changed blood donation (...), it's the parliamentary majority!

".
