Video clips from the Mardis du Grand Palais discussion

In this brief (and poor quality) video clip from the panel on sport and homosexuality, Carole Péon explains that she doesn't usually frequent gay and lesbian events or venues, or LGBT sports clubs, and that she was concerned about events such as the Gay Games before learning that they were open to all. What is important for her is to be in places where she can behave normally with her partner.

Journalist Bénedicte Mathieu explains that French LGBT sports clubs are open to all, and that the Gay Games are "great fun". She adds that sports is like any other aspect of social life, where people want to be among like-minded people.

In this second clip, Michel Royer continues by noting that there are all sorts of sports clubs representing various communities: professional, geographical, etc. One of the most famous football clubs in Paris is Créteil Lusitanos, whose origin in the local Portuguese community. And he speaks of the World Police and Fire Games, reserved for police officers and firefighters. In all of these cases, no one objects, but when it's a question of LGBT sport, we suddenly hear complaints about "ghettos" and segregation.
