However I'm glad to hear he was held acountable and punished for his actions, I'm not sure that imprisonment will change HIS views but it does send a strong message to the rest of the community that homophobia will not be tolerated in Sweeden. I had heard about the marriage laws and to be honest I thought they were a bit slow on the uptake, that said it's still good news. <BR/>There is a demonstration comming up for same sex marriage in melbourne on the 22nd of November.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414372240751849029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768410593535413651.post-54767853948439533242008-11-10T16:32:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:32:00.000-08:00"As a dissenter reverend, he held a sermon charact..."As a dissenter reverend, he held a sermon characterised by hate against non-heterosexuals." <BR/><BR/><B>Don't worry, Vik; he's just carrying out God's will as it says in whichever testament (they're all homophobic etc by the way) he espouses. <BR/><BR/>*Awaits mudslinging and calls for my destruction from pious readers*</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768410593535413651.post-60296017059855710932008-11-10T16:29:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:29:00.000-08:00kath!i forgot to tell you when i saw you yesterday...kath!<BR/>i forgot to tell you when i saw you yesterday, i guess my ability to interact with my brain had been impaired by the two hour maths torture i had just undergone...<BR/><BR/>I wanted to ask you whether you heard of the "Åke Green"-case that took place a couple of years ago? As a dissenter reverend, he held a sermon characterised by hate against non-heterosexuals. People were outraged, of course, and a storm of discussions concerning freedom of speech/religion versus freedom from intolerance followed. He ended up with a prison sentence for hate speech later that year for it, thanks to the swedish Act on Persecution of Minority Groups.<BR/>It was a quite interesting, however awful, discussion to follow as it unfolded. I thought you might be interested, if you want to know more, let me know. <BR/><BR/>Also: sexuality-neutral marriage will be introduced in 2009/10 over there. I was so happy to hear about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768410593535413651.post-11422309676918196632008-11-03T22:11:00.000-08:002008-11-03T22:11:00.000-08:00Who is 'you know who' Kath?

And you seem to have left good student leaders behind you, C. and N. having made out a strong case for the cause in the last Curriculum Committee meeting. <BR/>And I'm convinced your diagnosis of a backlash against Queers and Questioners has been spot on. One Yr 9 boy I know of expressed concern about the formation of Q & A, saying that the group would be bad for the school because it would 'promote' homosexual behaviour.<BR/>Cheers, L.
