French minister comes out as gay
gscene.comClément Beaune, the French minister for European affairs, has come out as gay and vowed to fight anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric in Poland.
Beaune, who was appointed as the minister of state for European affairs in July, spoke about his sexuality to French LGBTQ+ magazine, Têtu, saying he wants to prove that being LGBTQ+ is not an ‘obstacle’ to pursuing a career in politics.
He stated: “I am gay, and I have no problem saying it.”When asked about the rise of ‘LGBTQ+ free zones’ in Poland, he said: “I wouldn’t want people to say I am fighting against ‘LGBT-free zones’ because I am gay.
It would be insulting to say I am leading that fight for myself. However, as European affairs minister, I have an additional responsibility.
