Most of the French gays and lesbians I've met want one thing : to be considered as normal citizens ie : no discrimination in employment, careers, renting/buying home.
And while you can help with laws, the first thing to change is the mind of Monsieur Durand (you would say Joe Average).
I'm hetero, 42 and a confirmed bachelor. Yet, during the interview with my current employer, they asked me about the fact that I'm a bachelor. I take it the subtitle was : Aren't you gay ?
Another point : At first, Gay/Lesbian associations were built to help fighting AIDS. Now, they have nearly achieved the status of a political party. They are certainly lobbying a lot for rights.
As a French comic put it years ago : All men are equal... and some are more equal than others.
