Chapel hosts homosexual exhibition
Homosexual Exhibition Withdrawn from Church
An suggestive exhibition by the Lecoq artists' collective was withdrawn from the church Chapelle du Bourg in Arradon, Bretagne, northwestern France, on 30 July.
The exhibition, titled Le Poulailler 4, was scheduled to run from 27 July to 2 August 2026 and had been organized by the municipality as part of its cultural programme.
It included photographs depicting two men kissing, a man wearing pink underwear in a suggestive pose, a photograph of male buttocks.
Only after complaints about this homosexual propaganda, the municipality proposed that the most controversial photographs either be removed from the chapel or transferred to a nearby municipal exhibition space.
The Lecoq collective declined both proposals and removed the entire exhibition on 30 July, before its scheduled closing date.
Photographer Nikolaz Le Coq stated that he had not considered the photographs to be a profanation of the chapel and said he had [alledgely] not anticipated that they would be perceived in that way.
The Chapelle du Bourg is the former parish church of Arradon. Although it ceased to be the town's principal parish church after a new church was opened in 1987, it remains a consecrated Catholic chapel.
As usual under French laicism 1905 law, is owned by the municipality.
