France Welcomes First Gay Refugee From Chechnya as Putin Promises ‘The Whole Truth’

On the same day that President Emmanuel Macron held his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, France has accepted its first gay refugee from Chechnya.

Gay and bisexual men in Chechnya have in recent months been abducted, tortured and in some cases murdered in concentration camps. Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov has denied the existence of such camps. However, Putin has announced plans to investigate following international pressure.

The refugee’s arrival in France on Monday was confirmed by Joël Deumier, president of SOS Homophobie.

Deumier said that more refugees could soon arrive in France but according to TheLocal.fr, he dismissed Putin’s claims of an investigation into the purge.

“We hear Mr Putin say that he has launched an investigation, that it is not true and that there are no crimes against homosexuals, which is totally false. We can no longer accept this discourse of negation by Russia against homosexuals.”

During Monday’s meeting, Putin is said to have promised Macron “the whole truth” regarding abuses against gay men in Chechnya.

권인숙: 동성애 인정하면 동성애가 퍼진다?
특정 소수자 혐오는 그 소수자들의 존재를 인정하기 시작하면 너무 퍼지지 않을까 하는, 일종의 전염과 확산에 대한 경계 혹은 공포가 깔린 의심에서 출발한다. 미혼모의 존재를 인정하면 너도나도 미혼모가 되려 하지 않을까? 양심적 병역거부자를 인정하면 너도나도 군대 안 간다고 하는 것은 아닐까? 바탕에선 이들이 적게 존재하면, 심지어는 없으면 더 좋다는 생각을 당연시하고 있다. 소수자 인권을 부정하지 않더라도 결국 차별이 예방이라는 믿음도 깨지 않고 있는 것이다. 소수자 인권은 허술한 토대 위에 집을 짓고 있는 셈이다.
