Points of view
Morano criticized French gay pride parades, calling them "exhibitionist festivals" filled with "guys in garter belts".[1]
In 2009, she declared to French media that as a Roman Catholic, she was profoundly shocked by the various pronouncements of Pope Benedict XVI on bioethics, including his rejection of condoms to prevent AIDS and his criticisms of indirect abortion.[2] That same year, Morano became the subject of controversy after she said she wished Muslim banlieue youth would "love France when they live here, to find work and not to speak in slang...They shouldn't put their caps on back to front." SOS Racisme condemned Morano's quote, although she responded saying her words had been taken out of context.[3]
In June 2012 Morano gave an interview to the far-right newspaper Minute and spoke of the "shared values" that her party and the National Front have[4] Later she praised the FN leader Marine Le Pen as having "a lot of talent".[5] Le Pen rejected it, saying that Nadine Morano had become "a symbole of the sarkozysm".
