Brest rallies against LGBTQIA+ activities ban in libraries. On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, some 250 people gathered on the Liberty Square to make their voices heard. They faced the rally organized by the Parents vigilants association, which called for the cancellation of LGBTQIA+ cultural activities for children in libraries. The Parents vigilants rally only gathered a dozen militants. Among the protesters, Otello, 25, wanted to mobilize against the rise of the far-right. The City of Brest called for calm and condemned homophobic currents. The protest was organized by several queer and anti-fascist associations in Brest.
