The taboos of the French :

46% by the existence of homosexual demonstrations or parades
36% to see a gay couple hold hands in a public place
24% by the existence of bars or meeting places frequented mainly by homosexuals.
A recent French Internet survey of several thousand homosexual volunteers transiting through a gay site confirmed this :
During adolescence, the perception of their homosexuality pushed 16% of them to consider suicide; this perception was a cause of suffering for 54% of them; brought about their growth (13%); left them indifferent (11%)
During their schooling, homophobic remarks were heard by 87% of them (on the part of their classmates), 16% (by their teachers) - were directly addressed to them: 37% of them, while 8% suffered a homophobic physical aggression
Their homosexuality would have been easier if they could talk to a parent (54%), a friend (43%), a neutral third (29%), a gay friend (63%)
More than souhaitent of them want to talk about homosexuality at school, in the form of awareness, from the start of the college
I find that interesting to know all of that. What do you think ?
