Deputies unanimously approved a bill aimed at recognizing and repairing the harm suffered by homosexual people due to discriminatory laws in force between 1942 and 1982 in France. The deputies reestablished the principle of financial reparation for people convicted of homosexuality.
The bill, which will now resume its legislative journey in the Senate, recognizes discrimination against homosexual people between 1942 to 1982. Around 1,000 convictions were handed down under the article which established a specific age of consent and around 50,000 for public outrage against homosexual modesty.
