520 _aThis paper highlights the key role played by a group of gay members of the French Parti socialiste (PS) (Socialist Party) in the institutionalization of the gay and lesbian political movement in the 1980s and 1990s. Refuting scholarship that argues for the disappearance of this movement or its exclusive focus on the fight against the AIDS epidemic, I demonstrate that the movement has instead partially integrated itself into the PS, appropriating the party’s cognitive framework and adjusting its repertoire of contention accordingly. Throughout the 1990s, this group of gay socialists helped the gay and lesbian movement to dialogue with government authorities and socialized its spokespeople to conform to the expectations of the institutions of the political field.
