Bonjour Rosario -

Le mot c'est pede (avec deux accents aigus), ce qui n'est pas tres geniale a mon avis. Et si je m'en souviens bien, Laurent ne l'emploie tres souvent. En effet, quand il en parle enfin a son pere, il dit "Ce n'est pas une question d'etre pede ou pas, c'est juste une question d'amour."

Okay, please excuse the gradeschool French; I thought I'd give it a shot. At least from recent movies (JUQA, A Cause d'un Garcon, etc), it seems that pede (pronounced 'payday,' with the accent more or less even on both syllables) is still the current term in France, although I hear "gai" used often as well. Pederaste also means pedophile; so the term pede has an unpleasant connotation.

Wonderful movie, though. If you liked it, you should check out 'Shelter.'

Ce que je comprends pas c'est quand Carole dit que Cedric est pede comme un sac-a-dos. Est-ce-que c'est une expresison commun?

Google the phrase - you'll find some interesting discussions, several of which refer to the film.
