Le Salon Beige
Le salon beige is a Catholic blog listing daily news stories from a traditionalist viewpoint.
Le Salon Beige is a Catholic blog known for its opposition to same-sex marriage and adoption for same-sex couples and for its condemnation of sexual education at schools. It is described by media as a far-right Catholic blog (1). It has been sued by Pierre Bergé for calling him an homosexualist (sic) seeking to sell women’s bodies for the conveniency of a small group (2).
