GayLib is an LGBTI liberal political faction affiliated with the Radical Party. It was formerly affiliated with the French political party Union for a Popular Movement from its inception in 2002 to 2013 and to the Union of Democrats and Independents from 2013 to 2018.[1]
History
The creation of GayLib was supported by Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Philippe Douste-Blazy, Alain Juppé, and François Baroin.[2] In 2002, its members took part in the pride parade in Paris for the first time.[2]
Since 2007, they have been waylaid by The Pink Panthers,[3] ACT UP and AIDES[4] because of the UMP's repudiation of same-sex marriage.[5] However, GayLib says that the UMP helped toughen up hate-crime laws, improved the PACS, created the HALDE, and had a foreign-policy stance against homosexuality criminalization through Rama Yade's appeal to the United Nations.[5]
In January 2013, it rescinded its affiliation with the UMP because of the party's opposition to same-sex marriage.[6] It later affiliated with the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI), whose president Jean-Louis Borloo endorsed same-sex marriage.
In 2018 GayLib severed its ties with UDI and joined the Radical Movement (MR).[7] Following the dissolution of MR, GayLib became the official LGBTI wing of the revived Radical Party (PR).[8]
