Jean-Baptiste Marteau is happier than ever. Accomplished journalist, fulfilled husband and fulfilled dad, the joker of the JT de France 2 leads a dream life. But if everything seems to be going for the best in the daily life of the young man, the latter is often the victim of violent insults and homophobic threats. Far from wanting to hide his private life, he assumes his homosexuality and appears regularly on social networks in the company of her husband and daughter. Content that is not for everyone. Recently interviewed by Télé-Loisirs, Jean-Baptiste Marteau spoke of the hateful messages he receives on a daily basis. ” I am lucky to be fulfilled professionally and personally, but I see every day that this is not the case for everyone. In France in 2022, there are still young people who are thrown out because their families do not accept their homosexuality. So if at my small level, I can change, if only a little, mentalities, I go for it. It’s my duty “, he first explained.
“I don’t let anything go”
” People often ask me if I’m not afraid that it will damage my image, but I don’t care. I receive insults and threats very regularly. I made several complaints, because I don’t let anything pass “, he added before continuing:” I feel good about myself, everything is fine. On the other hand, it affects me more when these threats are aimed at my daughter Colette. I take them very seriously. It’s sad, but having an openly gay presenter at 8 p.m. is not yet natural and accepted by everyone. »
Despite the many threats he receives, Jean-Baptiste Marteau intends to protect his daughter at all costs and allow her to achieve all her goals. ” Colette will do what she wants with her life. But it is important for me that she evolves in a more tolerant world”. “I enrolled Colette in kindergarten this year and thought having two dads would be a problem. Finally, it is not, on the contrary. She was extremely well received in her school and it’s nice to see. Touching confidences.
