Agree or disagree with what the minister in question said...but he should have the right to say it; both as freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

The first amendment of our Constitution covers exactly these inherent human freedoms. The benighted Swedes, however, obviously do not.

So what...? Homophobe or not, someone's been sentenced for expressing a Biblical view of homosexuality.

The US is 5-7 years behind Sweden in social/cultural norms.....

Consider that "homophobe" is an invention of homosexual activists and means whatever they take it to mean at the moment. As we speak some Muslim leader is calling gays scum, and the Swedish authorities are averting their gaze carefully. Christians are an insignificant minority; Muslims are a growing threat to the peace and so much be treated gingerly.

Here's a thread on the same story that has nothing to do with Derbyshire. Maybe lady lawyer is a homophobe, though. Any insight?
