| Description | There have been no laws that restrict the discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics in France. However, in 1960, France passed the Mirguet Amendment in Article 330, which doubled the charges for public indecency if involving people of the same sex compared to people of the opposite sex, with imprisonment from six months to three years. The law would be repealed in 1980. |
