In the show It starts today, December 8, comedian Jarry revealed that he had been facing death threats for two years, because of his sexual orientation.
We would like not to see this kind of thing again in 2020, and yet. Guest on the set of It starts today on France 2 on December 8, Jarry revealed that he had regularly faced death threats for two years. The reason ? "Because I am a homosexual dad with children", did he declare. The actor is indeed the father of twins aged 4 and born by GPA. And if his sexual orientation and his personal life are up to him, some still manage to violently criticize the comedian.
On the show, he revealed examples of messages he receives on a daily basis: "We will find you", "We cannot let two children be sodomized by men" or "We will burn you". Terrible threats, which made him decide never to reveal the identity of his children: “We see it today in the news, it does not take many people to be in danger. "
This is therefore a way of ensuring their safety, but also of letting them flourish, without having the weight of their father's fame. “It's important because the fact that they have a famous daddy is not their choice, it is not their life. I want them to be able to grow ", he added. Jarry never shows their face and even uses nicknames to refer to them: Vic and Tim.

To change the mentalities
Same-sex parenting is still the subject of much criticism, engendered by a lack of acceptance and tolerance. Yet these are just baseless judgments. These children indeed live a normal youth. Their happiness depends mostly on the relationship they have with their parents, not on their sexual orientation.
In 2012, a study confirmed that homosexual parents raise happier children than others. It must be said that they are much less confronted with societal stereotypes and live more in a climate of tolerance. They therefore have all the cards in their hands to develop freely. After all, most children need love and stability in order to grow up and be happy, not necessarily straight parents. It is time for some to integrate it.
