PMA, filiation and homosexual parental families: we talk about it with Fanchon Mayaudon-Courtel

It was an intense and eventful show, which fascinated us. For almost two hours my colleague Charlotte Arce and I were able to talk Fanchon Mayaudon-Courtelthe activist at the origin of the collective #SEOlesbian – which forced Google to give up the pornographic reference to the word “lesbian” – and which is engaged for the second time in a PMA project.

PMA, parenthood, filiation and political lesbianism

On the occasion of Family Pride Festival which takes place on May 18th and 19th at the Cité fertile (Pantin), we were able to ask a lot of questions to Fanchon Mayaudon-Courtel, in our show l’Apéro des Daronnes. Mother of a child and in the PMA project—or more correctly called AMP for medically assisted procreation—she detailed her first PMA trip before it was legal in France, but she also gave us a lot of information about difficulties faced by same-sex couples in France. Filiation, co-parent recognition, activism and exhaustion, Fanchon Mayaudon-Courtel offers with passion and pedagogy.
