Unfortunately not really worth anything if he's following Macron's neoliberal politics...
I'm liberal(or neoliberal according to leftists) myself so I'm not so sure, however I posted to this community because it talks about him being queer, not his ideology.
I understand why you uploaded it.
My point was that one gay token prime minister that continues the oppressive politics won't change anything for the queer people living in France. It's a bit like Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman who makes oppressive politics affecting queer and other minority communities. I don't think we gain anything from people like Caitlyn Jenner or the gay prime minister of France.
Regarding your self-identification as liberal I am not sure if we both mean the same thing. The definitions vary a lot depending where in the world you are. Where I live (Germany), liberalism is the "liberation" of the economy of any state control and has hardly anything to do with progressive politics. Leftism on the other hand is the politics of liberating people and distributing power to all people more equally. So liberalism and leftism are pretty different concepts resulting in different politics. One is peak capitalism exacerbating inequality, the other socialism trying to increase equality. And according to Wikipedia, neoliberalism is used to describe the historical reappearance of liberalism similar as is done with neo-fascism or neo-nazism. (Neo)liberalism is tightly connected to capitalism and thus also to conservatism and fascism.
