Hello Mr. Chayer, following the words of Madame de Fontenay on the trans issue, what would be your reply to this person?
Lili M., Sherbrooke
Hello Lili, I had deliberately decided not to mention it in this edition so as not to give life to her statement, but as it is a letter from a reader, I will answer it with pleasure. First of all, Geneviève de Fontenay, for the information of the readers, is a French public figure very linked to the Miss France competitions since the 1950s. She is 90 years old.
Last December, she said in a press release: “It is a profound insult to the sixty years of my life during which I fought to give Miss France a respected and respectable image, which highlights young girls. healthy in body and mind! »
And Internet users to attack and insult him, going so far as to ageism, which I personally find repulsive as replies. Notwithstanding her opinion, Madame de Fontenay has absolutely no right to diminish anyone in this way, especially by implying that trans people are not respectable or that they are not of sound mind. His statement goes even further, but as I said above, I do not want to bring it to life. The good news is that an association against homophobia has filed a complaint against Madame de Fontenay for incitement to discrimination and transphobic insults. It is before the courts that she will have to explain her motivations and take responsibility for her words, so it is a case to follow.

Is your paper version available in Paris?
Alex B., Paris
Hello Alex, unfortunately not, the postage costs being prohibitive to send the magazine in France (about $15 per unit), we can only offer you the free subscription to the full PDF version at https://gayglobe.net/ ?page_id=21132. Subscription to the paper version is only possible in Canada.

I would never have thought that we had a walk of the stars in Montreal like in Hollywood, thanks for mentioning it. Has TVA answered your questions regarding its maintenance and continuity?
Luc L., Montreal
Hello Luc, Even if the promenade in Montreal is tiny compared to that of Hollywood, it would indeed be nice to continue the tradition or, at the very least, to maintain it. Unfortunately TVA did not respond to our questions or our email. A small group of volunteers who care about the memory of the people mentioned on the promenade could try to convince TVA to let them maintain the section of sidewalks concerned. Who is feeling lucky?

C’est toujours tellement bien de voir évoluer le magazine vers des sommets journalistiques avec un contenu toujours professionnel difficile à battre. Qualité du papier, personnalités présentes comme le PM Trudeau ou le PM Legault, Le Docteur Thomas, Me Chamberland, etc. Bravo pour votre excellent travail et merci d’être là.
Martine V., Laval
Bonjour Martine, merci pour votre commentaire qui fera plaisir à plusieurs. Croyez-moi, c’est tout aussi agréable de travailler avec un tel média pour nous.

Bonjour, j’aime bien la programmation des films que vous proposez, mais pour être honnête, je préférais l’ancienne version qui présentait directement le film dans une fenêtre de Gay Globe en streaming. La présentation en lien avec Youtube me dé-range surtout à cause des publicités ou le visuel de Youtube, mais je comprends qu’il faut évoluer et être de son temps. Merci pour tout.
Walter J., Québec
Bonjour Walter, en effet, il s’agissait d’une question de lourdeur du site alors que maintenant c’est beaucoup plus léger pour son fonctionnement général. Je peux quand même vous donner un petit truc. Quand vous démarrez le film, allez tout de suite cocher le « X » pour fermer le bandeau publicitaire et mettez-vous ensuite en mode plein écran. Au bout de 5 à 10 secondes, tout le visuel de Youtube disparaîtra et il ne restera que le film. Voilà qui devrait régler le problème et vous permettre de mieux apprécier l’expérience cinéma et séries de Gay Globe:)
