In Marseille, David, a caregiver, and his companion found a word on the windshield of their car telling them to leave their residence. Because they are gay, they are accused of being " the first to be contaminated by Covid-19 ".

We knew the various conspiracy theories, religious leaders around the world explaining the coronavirus pandemic by the fact that " God destroys LGBT societies " , the spiritual advisor in the cabinet of Donald Trump attributing the disease to " the inclination of society to lesbianism and homosexuality ”. This time, it's in France that it's happening.

David, a 33-year-old caregiver, lives with his companion in Marseille's tenth arrondissement, a " quiet neighborhood ". At around noon on Thursday March 26, her partner, delivery boy for Uber Eats, is about to leave for work but David quickly sees him coming up, looking shocked. " Look what I found on the windshield!" " he said to him. In applied writing, a word was left on the couple's car.

" Could you please leave the residence because we know that you homosexuals are (sic) the first to be contaminated by Covid-19 ," one can read. This is the first warning. Thank you. The two men are stunned. Angry, they immediately go to the nearest police station. There, they are told that it is " not a threat but a warning " and they are encouraged to file a simple handrail, which TÊTU was able to consult.

The 33-year-old feels all the more targeted because he has seen an increase in threats and outrage against his colleagues at the hospital in recent days. Like this caregiver from Toulouse who found a note on her door inviting her to go "to stay elsewhere ", because of her profession, as a " security " measure . Words that scandalized many French people. " It touches me doubly, I'm a caregiver and I'm gay ," says David. I can understand that, psychologically, it is hard to be locked up at home, I think there are some who "crack" a little, the bullshit comes out. Personally, I did not expect to receive a word like that about my sexuality. I had never faced homophobia in my life, I had never had the slightest thought. " Read more via Tetu
