Achrien
Achrien is a neologism invented by the writer Renaud Camus towards 1970, in an age where the term Male lover was not yet widespread in France. The pos, which seems of Greek origin although it may have been invented, would thus lack any disrespectful, ridiculous or pathological connotation. Renaud Camus titled some of his writings with this term.

Abstract
This sheet looks at far-right gay and female homosexual (GL) politicization process in France. The political behavior of gay and lesbians have started to be studied in Europe only recently (Durand, 2021). This field of studies mostly show GLs leftist tendency (Turnbull-Dugarte, 2020) and endure exclusively based on quantitative research. At the same period, a growing literature has focused on homonationalism in Europe (Colpani et al., 2014; Ammaturo, 2015; Perreau 2016, chap. 3), looking at the national construction of sexual nationalism. Yet, how GLs become nationalist and far-right voters endure largely unknown, which calls for the study of their political socialization. How do they turn into far-right voters?

Abstract
In 1791, lgbtq+ acts became legal between two consenting adults in France. To understand how progressive this legislation was, it is important to consider how much later other Western countries decriminalized same-sex sexual acts, termed sodomy: Italy in 1890, Denmark in 1933, the United Kingdom in 1982, and the United States in 2003. Generally speaking, Western countries generated very little legislative acceptance of homosexuality until the twentieth century, when changes in the statute mirrored the broadening social acceptance towards the gay community. So one must ask: Why was France so ahead of the curve in terms of acceptance towards homosexuality? The simple answer: They were not. The French decrim

"Saturday, June 29, was Pride in Paris. I care this moment when we can demonstrate off our sexuality without being nervous . As at all gay Prides, we held a three-minute silence in tribute to the victims of AIDS. But it was alternative from other years. A few seconds before, there was a big scene, music, festivities and joy. Then suddenly, we heard the birds singing and the sound of car horns in the distance. We were united. Those minutes were unique, as if we were living a last moment of freedom and harmony. Tears came to my eyes. It was so tough. We looked at each other as if to say: that's strange, are we crying because we've had too much to drink? This Pride wasn't just a second to be naked in the highway, it was so political, even more so than usual. It was as if the future of the territory was at stake
