Michel Schneider (28 May 1944 – 21 July 2022)[1] was a French writer, musicologist, énarque, senior official, and psychoanalyst. He was the father of journalist and writer Vanessa Schneider and of François Schneider, a history teacher. He was also the maternal uncle of actress Maria Schneider.
After the civil solidarity pact, marriage is only a step towards gay parenting. I am opposed to it. The State, which gives symbolism its force of constraint and benchmark for society – and not vice versa – should not allow marriage and filiation between two persons of the same sex. If human sexuality is not simply "natural", it is not entirely cultural, free from the laws of reproduction.[2]
Lesbians and assisted reproductive technology
There is, in the position of having children without having to relate to the male sex, a fear, a hatred, a fear, a phobia of the virile member, which makes one try to have the product of mating without having to go through the act of mating. There is a fantasy, one wants to say "Ladies, if you want to have children, there is a very simple, very economic way, which costs nothing to anyone, it is the sexual intercourse with a man in flesh and blood". Why do you need ART? Why do you want to be a mother when you have chosen a mode of sexuality that forbids it?[3]
In the magazine LGBTYagg [fr],[4] these words have been described as "homophobic, transphobic and misogynistic" as well as "psychoanalytic-reactionary considerations" by Maëlle Le Corre.
