They have a reputation of being very gay
I just got back from Paris, and I just want to say:

I spent a summer in Paris in grad school, and visited regularly until COVID squashed international travel, so I have quite a lot of memories of Parisian cocombres.
Images of people I know are posted with their permission
1. The Ballet School at the Opera National.
Go in the winter -- no crowds. On Christmas Eve, the Louvre is deserted.
2. A Turkish musician
3. On the train
Shakespeare and Company on the Left Bank, my favorite place in Paris. Well, aside from that bar near the Centre Pompidou...
4. Garz dans le placard -- guy in the closet
More après la pause -- after the break. Caution: explicit.
