STOP HOMOPHOBIE

What STOP HOMOPHOBIE does

STOP HOMOPHOBIE, legally Association STOP homophobie, is a French non-profit association (association loi 1901) founded in 2013 and headquartered at 106 rue de Lourmel, 75015 Paris. It provides immediate legal, social, and psychological support to victims of LGBTQI+phobia in France through a 24/7 telephone helpline (07 71 80 08 71), online reporting tools for LGBTphobic content and acts, a curated directory of LGBT-friendly lawyers, psychologists and sophrologists, and an annual benchmarking report on the state of LGBTI+ rights in France (the 2026 edition assessed 46 of 75 criteria as met). The organization operates with six employees and a lean volunteer/professional partner model.

The association's business model is donation-driven and non-commercial: services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, with operating funds sourced from individual donations (via PayPal, QONTO bank transfer, and check), annual membership adhesions, and authorized bequests and life insurance policies. It is formally authorized to receive legs (legacies), donations, and assurance-vie policies. Institutional relationships with French government bodies — notably DILCRAH (the interministerial delegation against racism, antisemitism and anti-LGBT hate), Mairie de Paris, and Conseil régional d'Île-de-France — provide additional structural anchoring within the French anti-discrimination ecosystem.

STOP HOMOPHOBIE operates a community-led go-to-market motion with no proprietary technology stack. Distribution relies on a WordPress-based website content hub, a MailPoet email newsletter, and active accounts on Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Core partnerships include the law firm Deshoulières Avocats (which represents the association in legal actions) and peer LGBT associations ADFH, Flag!, Le Refuge, and Mousse (with Mousse co-filing complaints). The organization is actively operating as of mid-2026, with news coverage continuing through July 2026 on topics spanning French national policy (Aurore Bergé's anti-LGBTI+ hate plan), international incidents (Berlin Pride attack), and legislative developments (Spain's conversion therapy ban).
