Gay universalism, homoracialism and « marriage for all »
by Houria Bouteldja
I’ve learned my lesson. And I think I finally understand. It would seem that words are important. So here are the words I said about gay marriage on the set of Ce soir ou jamais on 6 November 2012.
“I don’t have an opinion about the legitimacy of homo demands but I do have an opinion about the universality of the demand for a homosexual identity. I will tell you straight up, this debate doesn’t concern me. It doesn’t concern me because my words are particular and they are situated. A certain number of positions are expressed on this set and in France when this issue is discussed: you’re either on the right or on the left, progressive or reactionary.

'The witch, that suits everyone’: Interview with Houria Bouteldja

Ehko met with Houria Bouteldja before the announcement of her resignation, and subsequently discussed this with her. She agreed to answer questions often asked about her but not directly to her, and to explain her decision.
[Ehko]: You resigned from the PIR and explained the reasons for your resignation. You said in particular that the PIR had become ‘too radioactive’ and a ‘burden’ for your friends. What do you mean by this? Is this the end of the PIR?
[Houria Bouteldja]: I don’t know if it is the end of the PIR, because some brothers have decided to continue the adventure.
I would have preferred a dissolution so that things would be clea
