Delanoe uldn't attend a meetg last month to gurate the gay-iendly tourism mpaign bee he was recuperatg om a stabbg attack by a man who said he disliked homosexuals.The overall challenge for officials workg on the mpaign is to tweak the image of a cy famo for photographs like the 1950 Robert Doisne snapshot of a man and woman stealg a kiss cintally ont of Cy Hall.Wheels have only begun turng on the project, which is not to be publicly lnched until June 2003.

An outdated gui lled Gay Friendly France is beg revamped for circulatn at French tourism offic the Uned Stat as of June 2003. The Maison la France Los Angel is workg wh Amerin tour operators and helped anize this week's fully paid trip to France for gay media on the theme of gay tourism.Paris is hardly the first European pal to target the gay tourist. Berl, London and Lisbon among others have geared marketg toward gay and lbian visors, particularly the Uned Stat, for years."We're not dog discreetly," said Natascha Kompatzki, a spokwoman for Berl's tourist office, addg that gays are "an important group" for the German pal.

GAY PAREE PEONY

Berl's mayor, Kls Wowere, is openly gay and marched Berl's Gay Pri para this year.London and Berl, like Paris, have proment gay districts, which are featured on their tourism Web s along wh listgs for gay-iendly hotels and rtrants.But those ci have a natural advantage, said Remi Calmon, a spokman for France's 600-member Natnal Unn of Gay Bs."`The French are not always -- how shall I say this -- the nict people," said Calmon, whose group is part of Paris' gay-iendly planng mtee. Details of how to make Paris more people-iendly were still beg worked out, he said.One ia that has sparked great tert was dreamed up the small Loire Valley cy of Le Mans, bt known for s 24-hour to race.On s own missn to attract gay tourism, Le Mans Cy Hall has drafted a "Lbian and Gay Friendly Wele Charter," which they mailed to lol merchants this fall.Membership is optnal, and so far 37 tablishments have signed up, cludg rtrants, bars, travel agenci, a body piercer and all the cy's hotels.Signatori paste rabow-lored stickers their wdows wh the msage "Wele to Mans" and a sey face to let ctomers know they are gay iendly.Supporters say the rabow sey face sends a msage of tolerance. But others qutned the tactic as beg perhaps a ltle too polilly rrect."A wele sign for homosexuals?" said Tony Guimier, whose menswear shop the cy's historic center opted not to adopt the charter.

Robert Prton is Carol Todd, “Toddy” to his iends, a gay nightclub performer recently fired om the same chic nightclub that nied Victoria a job.

We prefer “gay.”NORMA: But… you’re so… attractive!

GAY PAREE AND THE EYE-FULL TOWER

I'm lookg for the old Parisian exprsn Le Gay Paris.

GAY PAREE TRANSLATN | ENGLISH-FRENCH DICTNARY

I fd worth notice that the people at TVTrop have given Gay Paree as the tle of their article on mon media trop about France. Y, "Gay Paree" is a well-known "English" phrase, predatg by s the sexual meang of "gay. I rather thought that "Gay Paree" njured imag of the Moul Rouge Touloe Ltrec's time, or wild surrealist parti the time of Anaïs N.

Paris is often lled “Gay Paree, ” wh “gay” meang happy, joyful and lively. The mil Can-Can (1953), wh mic and lyrics by Cole Porter, clud the song “Who said Gay Paree?
