ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

LGBT rights in France

So, you know how some people love boys and some people love girls? And some people feel like they are born in the wrong body and they want to be a boy or a girl, even though they were born as the opposite?

Well, in France, they believe that everyone should be able to be who they are and love who they love, no matter what kind of body they were born in. They call it "LGBT" which stands for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender".

In France, it is illegal to discriminate against people who are LGBT. This means they can't be treated differently or unfairly because of who they like or how they identify themselves.

France also allows same-sex couples to get married and adopt children. This means that two men or two women can get married and have a family, just like a man and a woman can.

France also has laws to protect people who are transgender. This means that if someone feels like they were born in the wrong body and want to transition (change) to be the gender they identify with, no one can discriminate against them or treat them unfairly.

Overall, France believes that everyone should be treated equally and have the same rights, no matter who they love or how they identify themselves.
