Joseph Doucé (April 13, 1945 – c. July 1990)[1] was born to a rural family in Sint-Truiden, Belgium.[2] He was a psychologist and a (defrocked) Baptist pastor in Paris. He was openly gay[3] and was among the founders of the International Lesbian and Gay Association. He served as a volunteer soldier in the NATO base at Limoges, France, where he had time to perfect his French. After one year of pastoral and humanistic studies at Stenonius College (also known as Europaseminär, a Roman Catholic seminary today extinct) in Maastricht, the Netherlands, he began his conversion to Protestantism around 1966.

His Centre du Christ Libérateur was a ministry to sexual minorities.[citation needed] The center had support groups for homosexuals, transsexuals, sadomasochists and pedophiles.

Death

Doucé was killed and the murder has never been solved.[4] According to Doucé's lover, he was taken away by two men, who showed police badges on July 19, 1990. The body was found in a forest in October 1990.[5]
