Paradoxale Gay Pride, existentielle, mme, puisque Act-Up pose clairement la question : fier de quoi ? Bonne question. Tout simplement fier que des milliers de gays et de lesbiennes se soient montrs, rencontrs, promens ensemble le 20 juin dans les rues de Paris.
Certains ont agi dlibrment pour qu’ils et elles n’y soient pas, en entretenant une parano hooligan, en » esprant » une annulation par la prfecture de police pour cause de risque de trouble l’ordre public. D’autres sont intimement persuads que la prsence massive de gays et lesbiennes est le fruit unique de leur travail solitaire et que c’est exclusivement l’appel de l’association Lesbian and Gay Pride, que les samedi de juin, les rues se remplissent. Ces deux attitudes dissimulent mal de la part de ces deux extrmes l’imbcile volont de contrle du » mouvement gay et lesbien « . Ils se trompent d’poque. Les gays et les lesbiennes sont si divers, anims d’intentions si dif-frentes, vivant des modes et des relations multiformes, qu’il est vident qu’ils chappent dsormais toutes tentatives de classification et d’encadrement simpliste. Et pourtant, ils s’taient donn rendez-vous le 20 juin entre Port-Royal et Nation, ensemble. Comme si, pour eux, le mouvement gay et lesbien tait un mouvement qui va de soi, rsultat d’une mobilisation disparate, de mot d’ordre dsordonn, mais pourtant d’une vidence et d’une ncessit imprieuse.
Au moment o la question gay et lesbienne devient un enjeu politique et politicien, o les arguments seront ceux de l’exclusion et de la discrimination, c’est–dire de l’homophobie, on comprend ncessit imprieuse qu’ont ressenti les manifestants des gay pride de Paris et de province.

Paradoxical Gay Pride, existential, even, since Act-Up raises the question clearly: to trust of what? Good question. Quite simply to trust that thousands of gays and lesbians showed themselves, met, walked together on June 20 in the streets of Paris.
Some acted deliberately so that they and they are not there, by maintaining a parano hooligan, in » expecting » a cancellation by the prefecture of font due to risk of disorder to the law and order. Others are closely persuaded that the massive presence of gays and lesbians is the single fruit of their solitary work and that it is exclusively with the call of association Lesbian and Gay Pride, that saturdays of June, the streets fill. These two attitudes badly dissimulate on behalf of these two extremes the imbecile will of control of the » gay movement and lesbien « . They are mistaken in time. The gays and the lesbians so various, are animated intentions so different, alive from the modes and relations multiform, which it is obvious that they escape from now on all attempts from classification and simplistic framing. And yet, they had been given go on June 20 between Port-Royal and Nation, together. Like if, for them, the gay movement and lesbien were a movement which goes from oneself, result of a disparate mobilization, of disordered pressing need and obviousness but watchword, however.
At the time when the gay question and lesbian become a political and politicking stake, where the arguments will be those of exclusion and discrimination, i.e. of the homophobie, one includes/understands required pressing that felt the demonstrators of the gay pride of Paris and province.
