Henri:
Specifically, in Sweden a pastor was recently sentenced to 30 days in jail for simiply reading Bible passages which dealt with a Christian view of homosexuality.
What's more fascinating is that I haven't heard of this said pastor. And I _live_ in Sweden.
The story is true, and have gotten some press coverage as well. It's a 63 year old pastor from a Pentecostal church in the island of �land.
However, it is not true that he just read the Bible; he held a sermon full of hate speech where he claimed that homosexuality is a sin originated from Evil Powers, that homosexuals more often than straight people have sex with animals and are paedophiles, and that it's the homosexuals' fault that there is AIDS. Ad nauseam. The same old story.
For a lot of Swedish language web pages about this, I googled "pastor �land hets homosexuella". Interesting enough, the first link is to a Swedish neo-nazi page giving the pastor full support...
