In case anyone has given up on checking, the Amis de Robespierre have finally updated their website.

This self-proclaimed "counter-cultural", Breton nationalist site is still pretty close. (http://www.contreculture.org/AG%20Saint%20Just.html) All right so they don't say "debauched", but they describe him as gay and "préoccupé de sexe". (Wow, wait, are we still in the 21st century? who wrote that, someone who's 80 years old? Even that makes no sense: someone who'd be 80 nowadays would have been 30 in 1960 - ahem.) Bonus point for that fail!website to mention he's Robespierre's love and immediately hint that it's what gave him a career. ("Proche de Robespierre dont il est l'amant (1), il occupe malgré son jeune âge et son inexpérience des postes importants : Commissaire de l'armée du Rhin, président de la Convention." Yeah. Right.)

The only explanation I can think of is that regional nationalist groups tend to be rather old-fashioned, because that's certainly not the typical portrayal, these days.

The true source, truly.

My fics are not historical documents.

I really think it is. It's not as if there are any historical documents in existence that would allow one to just state that as a fact in that manner.
