Apr 8, 2016 — Outrage as Paris hair salon boss cleared over gay slur. AFP. By. AFP … pederast – "has entered into day-to-day language and has no …
The Paris tribunal deemed that the slur was not homophobic because "it is known that hairdressers often employ homosexual people".
'No pejorative meaning'
The hairdresser had taken the case to the Conseil de Prud'hommes de Paris, which settles disputes between employers and employees. The plaintiff claimed he had been discriminated against because of his sexual orientation and was deeply offended by the slur.
In its December 16 ruling, the tribunal recognised the "inappropriate nature and content of the text message". But, it concluded, the term PD, "has entered into day-to-day language and has no pejorative or homophobic meaning in the manager's mind".
'Bad climate' for gays
A cartoon tweeted by French cartoonist (see below) Nawak featured the tribunal members addressing a series of slurs and stereotypes. “If 'faggot' is not an insult for cartoonists…,” says one tribunal member, “…Then 'crook' is not an insult for estate agents,” finishes another.
"If faggot is not an insult for cartoonists… crook is not an insult for estate agents”

>ris tribunal deemed that the slur was not homophobic because "it is known that hairdressers often employ homosexual people".
So I don't understand this. In my opinion, calling someone a slur shouldn't be illegal. However, it appears that the boss fired the employee because he was gay, or at least the boss thought he was gay. That absolutely should be illegal. The use of a specific slur here doesn't even seem to be the real issue.
Seems this is a low-level tribunal. If this is pursued in the higher courts; I believe it will be shot down.
There are times - and this is one - I ask myself "Has common sense completely disappeared from human beings?"
Am I missing something? Where does the word "dirty" come into play? >>21604396
Pedesrast comes from Greek for boy lover >>21604485
in French, insults are given as "sale XXXX" ("dirty YYYY") or if really irate "espèce de sale XXXX". It's the approximate equivalent of "you ZZZZZ".
On a side note, the slur used is PD which is modern spelling for pédé, short for pédéraste, which the dictionary defines as man who has homosexual relations with a man.
Contrary to English that uses 4 maybe 5 swear words, the French has a complete panoply, a very wide fan of insults from the most cinglant that would cause a violent reaction to an amusing cute insult. "PD" is among the mildest ones I could think of.
Can you give some examples of other French insults and where they fit on the spectrum? I just love learning about the stuff they never taught us in High School French! >>21604469
The worst misleading title ever.
The court didn't rule that the slur wasn't homophobic. They ruled that the firing of the employee couldn't be invalidated based on the slur.
The translation of "PD" is "homo" which in French is most often use as a slur but can in certain case be "appropriate". But the issue in this case is the fact that the employer used the sexual orientation of the employee to judge his effectiveness on the job.>>21604502
Remember kids, its ok to discriminate or hate, just as long as there is a decent shot your guessing their sexuality/religion/ethnicity right. Then you're just speaking the truth I guess, according to this court.
Does that mean the only time its homophobic is when its most likely they're not gay?
Edit: did i say the court should have ruled differently, or anything about actual actions? No, just a sarcastic comment, feel free to fondle your wadded up panties and stop telling me about them, i dont care. >>21604507
This case is so weird. It seems like the guy sued because he thought he got fired for being gay. Then the court said that it's okay because there are gay people working as hairdressers. It seems like a non-sequitur. >>21604513
The reasoning of the court, as described by the article, seems super specious to me.
Essentially "most hairdressers are okay with gays. Defendant owns a salon, therefore he must be okay with gays."
It's still conceivable, surely, that he fired the guy for his repeated absences, and thus is not in violation of the law, but "most hairdressers are not homophobes" is not a good reason to think an individual hairdresser isn't one.
The guy in question was takin bullshit sick days. Im glad he got fired and Im glad he didn't get away with pulling the gay card.>>21604535
A jerk is someone who works the soda fountain at a movie theater, it's like alling someone a mcdonalds cashier or something, but back before there was mcdonalds.
Not sure what you thought it means, but it has nothing to do with gay discrimination.
Britain was at war with France (one of many) for 116 years in a row and not one year was over hairdressing. >>21604543
pretty sure gay frenchmen say that phrase more than anyone
its like the "N" word for them >>21604551
What's weird about the whole thing is that "PD", pronouned "Pay-Day" (yes, i'm not joking) is short for "Pédéraste", which as late as the 1950s was simply another word for Homosexuality. Nowadays, "Pederast" denotes a combination of homosexuality and pedophilia, but that's not where the abbreviated term comes from. >>21604559
But calling it email is an insult to the French language? >>21604567
shouldn't this be in r/Nottheonion? >>21604563
The meaning of 'fruit': how the Daily Mirror libelled Liberace
This article is more than 15 years old

Fifty years ago one of the most extraordinary libel trials of all time took place in Britain. The flamboyant American entertainer Liberace had sued the Daily Mirror columnist William Connor (who wrote under the byline Cassandra) for implying that he was homosexual.
Connor wrote that Liberace was "…the summit of sex - the pinnacle of masculine, feminine, and neuter. Everything that he, she, and it can ever want… a deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavoured, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love."
(Two important contextual facts: male homosexuality was then illegal; the word "gay" had not become an antonym for homosexual). >>21604578
After a six-day hearing, during which Liberace denied being homosexual or ever having taken part in homosexual acts, the jury found for him. He was awarded a then-record £8,000 in damages (about £500,000 in today's money).
As Liz Hodgkinson pointed out in yesterday's Media Guardian, the decision centred largely on whether Connor knowingly used the term "fruit", which was American slang for a "homosexualist" (to use the description favoured throughout the case). >>21604577
The whole trial has been resurrected by the former Daily Mirror journalist, Revel Barker, who now runs the gentlemenranters.com website, in a new book, Crying all the way to the bank (to be published 8 June, by Revel Barker Publishing). >>21604579
He and Vera Baird QC have done a fine job in selecting key passages of evidence, and it is eye-opening stuff in many respects. The most obvious factor is the Mirror's arrogance, as shown during the cross-examinations of Connor and the Mirror's editorial chief, Hugh Cudlipp. >>21604580
Baird observes that the Mirror "didn't seem to have a plan for the trial." Cudlipp and Connor were going up against a man who was phenomenally popular with the public at the time. Their chances of victory were slim to start with and grew thinner with each passing day. >>21604581
The case should have been settled, in Liberace's favour, well before it ever reached court. But Cudlipp was convinced, not least by the Mirror's rising popularity, that he could win a case largely based on hypocrisy (that Connor did not mean what it is obvious he did mean). >>21604586
Liberace was also hypocritical because he was gay, though he always denied it. He died, aged 67 in 1987, of an Aids-related illness. >>21604585
Barker's book has fascinating moments for journalists, not least the lengthy questioning of Cudlipp by Liberace's counsel, Gilbert Beyfus QC, in which he attempts to trap the Mirror supremo into admitting that his sensational, risk-taking paper was reckless. >>21604574
The questions, including those from the judge, Mr Justice Salmon, reek with middle class distaste for popular journalism. There is more than an echo of the attitude displayed in a previous libel case involving the Daily Mirror, in 1947. >>21604571
This action was foolishly brought by a Mirror photographer (at the suggestion of his employers) against an obscure legal magazine. It rebounded badly on the paper, which lost the action. The details can be found in Privacy and the press by H. Montgomery Hyde. >>21604569
What both cases illustrate is that as long ago as the 1940s and 50s, newspapers were losing out in libel actions, partly due to prejudice from the judiciary and definitely due to hostility from the public.>>21604594
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask if you would consider supporting the Guardian’s journalism during one of the most consequential news cycles of our lifetimes. >>21604592
We have never been more passionate about exposing the multiplying threats to our democracy and holding power to account in America. In the heat of a tumultuous presidential race, with the threat of a more extreme second Trump presidency looming, there is an urgent need for free, trustworthy journalism that foregrounds the stakes of November’s election for our country and planet. >>21604591
Yet, from Elon Musk to the Murdochs, a small number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the information that reaches the public about what’s happening in the world. The Guardian is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest – not profit motives. >>21604590
And we avoid the trap that befalls much US media: the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality. We always strive to be fair. But sometimes that means calling out the lies of powerful people and institutions – and making clear how misinformation and demagoguery can damage democracy.>>21604598
From threats to election integrity, to the spiraling climate crisis, to complex foreign conflicts, our journalists contextualize, investigate and illuminate the critical stories of our time. As a global news organization with a robust US reporting staff, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective – one so often missing in the American media bubble.>>21604599
Around the world, readers can access the Guardian’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. That’s because of people like you. Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news, or not. >>21604599
Le jugement scandalise les internautes, la ministre du Travail et le défenseur des droits. Le conseil des prud'hommes de Paris a débouté en décembre dernier un coiffeur, traité de «PD» par sa patronne, considérant que le terme n'est pas homophobe car «il est reconnu que les salons de coiffure emploient régulièrement des personnes homosexuelles».
