Gaétan ?

Ahh yes. The only Gaetan with an accent aigu. on his name. Must've been a friend of Jacqués. Surely a national hero, in any case. All 70s and 80s "gays who endured the horrors of injustice" etc. are national heros. Oh well. At least we continue to dedicate the lion's share of research dollars to fighting preventable diseases like AIDS rather than socially insignificant blips like, say, cancer.

It’s not an uncommon name in Quebec. Pretty rare elsewhere in the francophone world. For example the current health minister in Quebec is Gaétan Barrette. It’s a variant of the Italian Gaetano.
