Notre Dame


Eight nubile women went topless through Notre Dame to celebrate the legalisation of gay marriage in France. The women are a part of FEMEN, a pro-feminist, pro-gay organisation whose motto is Sextremism. FEMEN held the demonstration to mark the final hour of the homophobic Pope, who they labelled as fascist and the head of the Catholic mafia. After the women disrobed and rang bells housed within the church, security quickly forced them out of the cathedral. They continued their impassioned demonstration just outside.
FEMEN members have a penchant for running about topless when some issue has upset them. While such an approach to conflict could do much to settle miscommunications between the sexes, the context must clearly be suitable. In this case, the majority of people within the cathedral found the display inappropriate and rude.
