Resist!!!

Neither LePen nor her gang. The far right grievously harms LGBTQIA+.

 A political post. Photo taken at last Saturday's Gay Pride in Strasbourg. As you might now, we might soon have a far right government, a party founded by former members of the SS. I hope I don't need to tell you what I think about...
