From "La Manif pour Tous" to identity-based and dissident rap:
circulation of antifeminist, heterosexist, and antisemitic discourses in France

The significant mobilizations opposing the "marriage for all" law since 2012 have brought together movements with very different concerns, particularly around common enemies, primarily Jews, lesbians, and gay men. This article aims to understand the interplay
between antisemitism, racism, antifeminism, and homophobia that structures the resistance to equal rights.
To what extent, and in what ways, do the convergences between antisemitism and homophobia in these movements represent a long-standing permeability between the two ideologies? To understand this, we will analyze the forms that antisemitic expressions, reactivated by debates on gender and sexual equality, take in the oral discourse
of these movements, the communication strategy within which they are embedded, and how this protest crystallizes a convergence between seemingly opposing reactionary movements. This article will first examine the communication materials used by movements opposing the law on same-sex marriage (flyers, leaflets, posters, social media posts) and the slogans chanted during these demonstrations. Secondly, the analysis will focus on a phenomenon that has been growing significantly since the early 2010s: the emergence of reactionary groups deliberately appropriating the communication strategies of their opponents. Finally, we will conclude with an analysis of the resurgence of musical groups with antisemitic, homophobic, and antifeminist lyrics, facilitated by the internet.
