Seriously, y’all, French President Emmanuel Macron is not gay. OK? OK?!
Macron is once again denying reports that he engaged in a passionate gay love affair with his former head of security, Alexandre Banalla.
Benalla was fired as Macron’s chief security officer last week, after he video of him violently beating a group of protesters earlier this year leaked online.
After being canned, Macron’s colleagues became concerned about: 1. Whether Benalla knew the country’s nuclear codes, and 2. If Benalla and the French leader were gay lovers.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Two totally related, totally legit concerns, right?
“Alexandre Benalla has never had the nuclear codes,” Macron said during a 30-minute address to his En Marche party this week. Then he added: “Alexandre Benalla is not my lover.”

Macron went on to say he was deeply disappointed by Banalla’s behavior in the video and supported his firing.
“What happened on May 1 is terrible, serious and, for me, it was a disappointment and a betrayal,” the 40-year-old leader said.
But as Gay Star News notes, this isn’t the first time Macron has denied gay rumors:
Earlier this year the French leader had to quash persistent rumours of a gay lover affair with handsome radio boss Mathieu Gallet. At the time, Gallet was CEO broadcaster, Radio France.
There were rumors that a paparazzi photographer had managed to take some salacious pictures of Macron with Gallet in a forest.
Macron allegedly had Gallet sacked from Radio France earlier this year, following the media boss’s conviction of corruption. However, some reports suggest this was a cover to dispel talk of a gay affair between the two.
Macron married his wife, Brigitte, back in 2007. The couple are 24 years apart and met when he was a teenager and she was his teacher.

This is not anyone’s business, and I can’t reTweet a rumour. They grow and become a bother to the candidate. He’s the best thing for France right now, unless you believe his primary competitor Marie LePen, that HOMOPHOBE, should have been allowed to start her version of the Trump administration. We need as few Fascists in the world of politics as possible, and so I support Emmanuel Macron. PERIOD!

I don’t think anyone here is against him. It is just juicy news. So CHILL 🙂

I could not care less about whom he loves or doesn’t love. I would be more concerned about the security of France’s Nuclear Codes.

I think both Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau are handsome men. I wish them success both in their high offices, and in their apparently happy marriages. That doesn’t mean that I don’t think they’re cute, or, in other circumstances, that I wouldn’t venture an inappropriate remark to check their receptivity. I have no information that would encourage me, save Macron’s interest in a beautiful lady, who was once his teacher, 24 years his senior. I would fit right into that age disparity. Nether of them may have a personality that meshes with my preferences, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t look… RobtheElder

I KNEW IT!!!

I can’t stop laughing about that, that’s terrible.
In France, we heard about the nuclear codes (really briefly, because anyone know it’s stupid. I even wonder if it doesn’t came from Le Gorafi, a satyrical information website like The Onion) but i haven’t heard about this one.
In France, this case is really something serious. I don’t really agree with the comment above saying Macron is the best thing for the country. Yes, we thought it was better than the far right, that’s why people (included me) voted for him. But we’re not so happy right now.
Some of his ministers were known to be against gay marriage. The Minister of Interior is often accused to beat his opponents or the demonstrators.
The president is now accused to have covered his bodyguard behavior, keeps lying and obstructing justice. His supporters even used the same defense as the far right, accusing the opposition of creating conspiracy.
Here in France, most of the people who voted for him to block Marine Le Pen starts to wonder if they didn’t make a big mistake.

Of course, because electing Marine LePen would not have been a “big mistake”.
/facepalm

Does ANYONE have actual PROOF they were lovers? You would have had to have been in the bedroom and I doubt you were there. So….more FAKE NEWS!

Super BS story. We get pissed at fake news and innuendos and here queerty is doing just that.

Why do you think Queerty is for news, Einstein? It’s a internet tabloid, but yet you felt the need to comment and read the article and that’s what the wanted. Quit your bitchin’.

I prefer to see a video of Macron and Trudeau! I think they are both good-looking, good morals, excellent ambassadors for their respective countries. Wow, just think of how the international community would react.
frankcar1965
Why do people think he and Trudeau are good-looking? Is it just because they do not look like Trump or any other male head of state which is a very low bar indeed? Both are ok to me but look like the guy who does your taxes, pretty ho-hum in fact.

Well…we remember in New Jersey what happened with Governor McGreevey and his security guard…it wouldn’t be the first time.

Okay first of all not everyone hunky is gay but I sure would like it if they were! A porn with Macron and his body guard is one I’d actually pay for. Second you don’t need to just admire hunks you can become a hunk yourself. This guy finally managed to get fit and get a boyfriend. it was really inspiring to read and gave me motivation to finally make a change.

frankcar1965 and ElPillo sound like Trump trolls.
