Controversy surrounds French minister's Playboy cover.

French government minister Marlene Schiappa has faced criticism from her own party for appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine to accompany a 12-page interview on women's and LGBT rights. Schiappa, who has been a long-time advocate for women's rights, has been accused of being inappropriate during a time of social crisis in France. However, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin defended her, calling her a "woman of character."
