Why are you posting this drivel? The links show a much more nuanced discussion than what you are trying to imply.
The French demanded to end the discrimination against gay men as by law gay sex was prohibited until the age of 21, but the age of consent for straight sex was 18. Nothing to do with pedophilia. Oh and that happened in 1977 - almost 50 years ago.
You are obsessed with the left vs the right culture war. It’s not healthy.
They were not just about making the age of consent equal for gay and hetero sex. They were also pushing for lowering and abolishing the age of consent altogether. You can see this as a 'submarine'. From the wikipedia article:
"Michel Foucault argued that it is intolerable
to assume that a child is incapable of giving
meaningful consent to sexual relations."
There is clearly a structural similarity between contemporary apologists for genital mutilation under euphemisms such as 'gender affirming surgery' and the what the french intellectuals demanded 50 years ago.
