A photo exhibition devoted to homosexual couples, photographer Olivier Ciappa, was ransacked by a group of young people. The works of the Parisian artist were daubed and torn. The exhibition was held in the framework of the 10th anniversary of an LGBT organization (Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans) to fight against discrimination in the workplace.
In the photos you can see anonymous, “couples of the Republic,” as celebrities, Jenifer Muriel Robin, through Antoine de Caunes and Elie Semoun, “the imaginary couples.” All reproduce images of the daily life of homosexual couples, both heterosexual and portraits of families to defend gender couples. Now, according to the photographer, it is precisely this equality that was attacked.
“They would not have done promoting this lifestyle”
According to him, there is no doubt that this is a homophobic act: “A group of six young people attacked in the exhibition after having a heated argument with witnesses. They tore into pieces the panels showing mildly gay couples, LGBT families, but also heterosexual, “he told the website side Toulouse
.” They did not want that we do promote this lifestyle, “explains Olivier Ciappa on his Facebook page, adding:” They wanted that passersby can not see any vision of this exhibition and swept everything in minutes. ” Some photographs have also been daubed the word “shame”. On the social network, the photographer appealed widely to relay the facts, especially in the media, to fight against homophobia.
