France, Coordination of Anarchist Groups cga Lyon - Pride: there is still fighting for Equality (fr, it, pt)

In 1969, the United States, riots broke out in response to one of the many raids aimed 
what is now called the LGBT community (Lesbian, Gay, Bies, Trans). In this violent and 
daily repression, official (police raids, identity checks, denial of access to basic 
rights, ...) or informal (beatings, insults, discrimination in recruitment, rape, bans on 
families, humiliation, mockery ...), the company along well LGBT return to their closets. 
If law enforcement modes are sometimes more insidious, the situation has not changed much. 
That is why, even today, we go out in the street because no one should have to hide. 
--------- Cis: cis person is someone whose gender matches the one assigned to him at 
birth. ---- Cissexisme: cissexisme is the oppression experienced by trans people. ---- 
Outing: Revealing without its consent, a persone is homosexual, bisexual or trans.

Hétéropatriarcat: system which establishes the hierarchy between genres. This system is 
intended to establish the domination of men over women, and will base on the injunction to 
heterosexuality (so that the patriarchal scheme is the only possible) and cissexualité (to 
present the kind not as a tool of domination but a fact of nature, purely biological).

State of play

Since the law permitting marriage to couples of gay and adoption in this context has 
passed, it is often said that equal rights was obtained. What about the reality?

First, concerning the Taubira law. There is a state racism dimension in access to rights: 
in fact, it took a French-Moroccan gay couple go until cassation court in order to 
validate his marriage, arguing that prosecutors do should not be permitted under an 
agreement between states.

Moreover, lesbians couples had to call for the adoption of their child conceived by LDCs 
is finally recognized in court. It is therefore noted that it took in a number of cases, 
conduct legal battles just for the law to be applied.

The law which governs the adoption is supposed to be applied to any child living in a 
family founded by a couple. But contrary to his campaign promises, the government does 
have buried the law authorizing the LDCs, and yielding to the pressures cathos and 
reactionaries. In addition to the legal uncertainty that follows, this situation increases 
social inequality since the couples are forced to go to other countries to be eligible for 
LDCs, costly act, without any help or refund.

What equality and which rights?

Moreover, the concept of equal rights for the LGBT community is much broader than the 
issue of marriage and adoption.

One can not speak of such equal rights as the civil status change for trans people is 
still subject to a long and costly legal proceedings, the outcome is completely arbitrary 
and depends on the judge. The practical consequence is that it makes it very difficult for 
many trans people the fact of finding a job or housing.

Similarly, access to health care for trans people remains uncertain: if the law is 
supposed to guarantee to everyone the free e · care physician, in the many facts are those 
who refuse to follow the transition-related treatments , referring their patient · e · s 
to teams 'specialized' who assume often the right to decide who has the right to make a 
transition according reactionary criteria and are present only in major cities, 
complicating the access to care for a large part of the population. And do not talk about 
the issue of reimbursement of a number of treatments (surgery, hair removal, ...) is out 
still subject to administrative arbitrariness.

One can not speak of equal rights in a context of increase in attacks against LGBT 
people. These have indeed exploded in connection with the Manif for All: according to 
reports from SOS Homophobia, the testimony of homophobic attacks increased by 78% between 
2012 and 2013 and if the numbers have dropped a little in 2014, they are still 41% higher 
than the 2011 figures, before the discussions of marriage for tou · te · s. At the same 
time the courts are relatively lenient with offenders, while a number of militant · e · s 
· LGBT people have been sentenced for having e · s · e · s defended during an assault or 
for disturbing homophobic action.

One can not speak of equal rights when we know that the suicide rate among LGBT youth 
remains higher than among young heterosexual cis *. This is fueled by the climate of 
homophobia and transphobia uninhibited in which we operate, among other relayed by the 
"Manif for all" and "anti-gender".

The social destruction policy towards LGBT

If the government supposedly "socialist" proved incapable of the slightest political 
courage when it came to oppose the reactionary religious fundamentalists La Manif For All, 
it did not show the same timidity when it was to continue the policy of social destruction 
and repression of the previous governments. The Macron law and the law on intelligence are 
two recent examples.

If these anti-social policies are detrimental to the entire working class, they may prove 
even more catastrophic for groups who combine other oppressions, including lesbians, gays, 
and trans bis. Labor code breaking policies may indeed hit particularly hard those who are 
already very precarious. Similarly, since the outing * remains a tool of pressure or 
reprisals exercised facing gay people, bi or trans, the means given to intelligence and 
lack of control may have even more impact when is also an LGBT person.

Fight for real equality of rights, so this is not just formal equality before the law in a 
society that, moreover, goes against people and groups against each other and only allows 
access to fundamental rights to those who have the financial means.

Fight for real equality of rights is to start by building solidarity between tou · te · s 
· e · oppressed s.

Because-Equal rights is not effective!

Because-lesbophobia, homophobia and transphobia kill!

Against domination hétéropatriarcale cissexiste * *!

Because this year, it is important to be visible and to allow our number to affirm once 
again that our bodies belong to us and our courses!

Because all systems of domination mutually reinforcing fight against patriarchy, 
capitalism and racism!
