Police Interrogate, Collect DNA from French Politician Over ‘Homophobic’ Tweets
LifeSite News ^ | 6/24/19 | Jeanne Smits

June 24, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A city counselor from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a large town to the west of Paris where many kings had their residence since the 11th century, was summoned by police last week and submitted to DNA collecting because she was accused by Internet watchdogs of publishing a series of “homophobic” tweets.

Agnès Cerighelli, 53, who claims to be a member of French president Emmanuel Macron’s “La République en Marche” (LREM) Party, is now under heavy fire from the mainstream press, which is calling her “crazy.”

Cerighelli’s Twitter account contains a large number of messages condemning the influence of the “LGBT lobby.” She also regularly denounces legal access to medically assisted procreation for lesbians, which the LREM intends to push through Parliament, probably before the summer recess. She also makes no mystery of her Catholic beliefs.

Cerighelli is an opposition counselor without official political affiliation and makes clear her support for Macron, which is a paradox, to say the least, given the president's campaigns and actions for transgressive legislation.

Cerighelli was locally active in the “Manif pour tous” during the battle against the legalization of same-sex “marriage.” At the time, she was a member of the half-hearted right-wing “Républicains.” She left that party in 2016.

Does that mean the French will now lock up all devout Muslims?

When will science take the word “phobic” out of the word “homophobic?”

Answer: When they cure AIDs.

And when it does, I will lean into the rebound so hard.
