Conservative Catholic family associations have brought a suit against Gleeden, a dating website for married people seeking partners for an extra-conjugal affair that claims a million users in France and 2.3 million across Europe.
The website, whose name merges the English words “glee” and “Eden”, has caused a stir, with large advertisements showing an apple with one bite taken out of it. “Contrary to anti-depressants, a lover doesn’t cost the National Health anything,” it says.
Associations of Catholic Families, an umbrella group that was active in protests against same-sex marriage, gathered more than 20,000 signatures against the ads in the Paris Métro but they were not taken down.
