In many ways, France, and especially Paris, is a fairly liberal place for homosexuals, but with the recent growing support for extreme right wing forces in this country, I'm worried about the situation on the local level. Several local governments are run by the extreme right with devastating consequences for e.g. immigrants and homosexuals.
Homosexuals are protected
by anti discrimination laws, and in 1997 an Algerian was granted political
asylum based on sexual orientation. In spite of the right wing influences,
I'm hopeful for France.
