Serge Tenoncourt is cheeky! | Montreal Journal

I have always disagreed with Serge Tenoncourt. He has a big mouth, and I’ve had it burning for years.

But I respect him: he has the courage of his opinions. In the world of culture, almost everyone is afraid of their own shadow!

That’s why I applauded when I heard Denoncourt tell Marie-Claude Barrett about the young LGBTQ+ generation. Here, do! Monuncle Serge just turned 62!!!

Are you more hateful?

If there are untouchables in society in 2024, it will be LGBTQ+. This cannot be said without saying that it is the beginning of a critique. If we don’t respect the + at the end of the logo, we are on the verge of being called “plusophobes”. Even though you are part of the community, you are quiet. But not Denoncourt.

“Gay, gay, we fought. LGBTQ+, we, gay white people, don’t seem to be a part of it anymore, we’re very straight,” he told Marie-Claude Barrett on the podcast. Open your game.

In fact, this environment, which claims to be very tolerant, very transparent, discriminates even from those who are not liquid enough to taste it. If you’re “just” gay, in the hierarchy of victims, you’re not interested. You have to be more minority than that, more marginalized than that. Less “straight” as Denoncourt says.

The hero of the theater also told his four truths to the younger generation who think they have nothing before them.

“There’s a little obligation to remember, which is, if you’re 22, you think you’re reinventing the world. Gender-fluidWe can have a coffee and I can tell you some business […]. “Hey, guys, there are people who have fought before you.” Because being gay is not accepted everywhere.

Young people who think they are original with the slogan “gender is a spectrum” have a short memory.

George Sand was actually a woman, a great writer, who had many lovers. Oscar Wilde was sentenced to prison for his homosexuality. Anas Nin is bisexual and depicts very explicit sexual scenes in his works.

There are plenty of androgynes in the arts: from Annie Lennox to David Bowie, from Mick Jagger to Klaus Nomi.

Tragedy actress Sarah Bernhardt was first a prostitute (what we called a “servant” at the time) before becoming an actress. She slept with both men and women, and with her androgynous physique, played both male and female roles because, she said, “men’s roles are generally more intellectual than women’s roles”. Yes, she’s often dressed as a man (aside from sleeping in a coffin).

Before me, nothingness

If young LGBTQ+ people struggle to open a book or watch a documentary, they’ll make some great discoveries.

But for that, they need to see this dusty period called “life before my little navel.”
