Painted in 1991 by Frank Pé, Broussaille was the city's first giant mural and depicts a young couple of arm in arm. Located in Brussels' gay-nightlife hub, the original version of the couple seemed of ambiguous sex and gay establishments used the mural to promote the quarter until 1999, when it was repainted and the black-haired figure was given a more feminine look at the request of Pé, as his character of Catherine identifies as female.
Creeping homophobia or honest mistake? Nobody knows.
