LGBTQIA+: la France a-t-elle un problème...

To prepare this episode, I interviewed my friend Laurie. We talked about LGBTQIA+ people and life as a lesbian in France.

This episode is a mix of interview and explanations that I added because there is no transcript for what Laurie says:

• I give you some references of films and TV programs (in France and in Quebec).
• We explain the use of several words like homosexual, gay, lesbian and what queer means in France.
• One of the central themes of the conversation is the book Le Génie Lesbien, written by Alice Coffin.
• And all the negative reactions that accompanied the release of the book.
