French adoption service: "Holebis are deviant and therefore suitable for deviant children"

In France, the official adoption service of Seine-Maritime (Normandy) has publicly said that gay couples are "deviant" and therefore should also adopt "deviant" children, such as children with disabilities or psychological problems. Discriminatory statements that cause a stir among our southern neighbors.

It was Pascale Lemare of the adoption service who made the bold statements on the local radio France Bleu. According to her, gay couples are "deviant in terms of social and biological norms". "If they provide children with deviant problems in their adoption plans… If they have open expectations, then they can indeed adopt children," it said. An interest group has already filed a complaint and the government of President Macron spoke of "impermissible discrimination".

Four gay couples with adopted children

Correspondent Frank Renout states in 'The Morning' that the gay people in France themselves are not surprised. Marie-Claude Picardat of the French Association of Gay Parents says the advisory boards that decide on adoptive children are sometimes homophobic, rejecting gays and lesbians as adoptive parents.

Same-sex marriage was legalized in France five years ago. Since then, according to Picardat, only four married gay couples have adopted children.
