Béatrice Bourges, born Béatrice Morel on 18 October 1960 in Algeria, is a French management consultant and anti-gay marriage activist.[1] She is a chevalière de la Legion d'Honneur[2] and describes herself as the spokeswoman for Printemps Français ("French Spring"), a pressure group advocating civil disobedience and passive resistance to bring about the end of same-sex marriage in France.[3] In 2013, she was described by Manuel Valls, then the French Minister of the Interior, as "the most dangerous woman in France."[3]
She is a founding member of La Manif pour tous,[4] a less confrontational anti-gay marriage organization, from which she was excluded in 2013.[5] She argues that gay marriage is a product of an American-led international programme to undermine the concept of gender which she describes as "the fundamental building blocks of humanity."[3]
She is a Catholic mother of two, and has divorced and remarried.[3]
