After Finland’s Supreme Court found Päivi Räsänen guilty of “crimes against humanity” for sharing an online Christian pamphlet, Britain canceled her travel authorization, escalating concerns about the future of religious liberty in Europe.
[UPDATE] The U.K. is a nation that now allows rapists, murderers, and terrorists to pour across its borders and live permanently in taxpayer-funded homes, but there is one thing that can get someone banned from even setting foot on British soil: “insulting” homosexuals.
That’s a lesson that Päivi Räsänen, a member of Finland’s Parliament, recently learned when the U.K. denied her travel visa application.

On the other hand there are small vessels from the other side of the channel that seem to have zero problems being admitted.
Tell me again why we’re defending the Dead Isles?
AI Overview:
In 2019, Finnish Member of Parliament Päivi Räsänen tweeted an image of Romans 1:24-27 alongside a question questioning her church’s sponsorship of Helsinki Pride. This post sparked a years-long legal battle over religious free speech.
In a landmark March 2026 ruling, Finland’s Supreme Court unanimously acquitted Räsänen of hate speech regarding the 2019 tweet. However, in the same decision, she was found guilty of “hate speech/insult” regarding a 20-year-old church pamphlet she authored about traditional marriage.
The Tweet’s Contents
The Text:
The post included a photograph of an extract from the Bible (Romans 1:24-27) that describes homosexual acts as shameful and contrary to nature.
The Context:
She posted the image on X (formerly Twitter) to publicly ask the leadership of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland why they were officially sponsoring the local LGBTQ+ Pride festival.
Supreme Court: Prosecutors appealed the case, bringing it before Finland’s highest court. In March 2026, the court delivered a split decision:
It fully acquitted Räsänen of all hate-speech and incitement charges tied directly to the 2019 Bible-verse tweet.
It convicted her of an “insult” or “hate speech” charge relating to the wording used in a 2004 church pamphlet titled “Male and Female He Created Them”.

Romans 1:24-28
King James Version
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of
their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served
the creature more than the Creator,
Who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 FOR THIS CAUSE God gave them up unto vile affections:
FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE
INTO THAT WHICH IS AGAINST NATURE:
27 AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL USE
OF THE WOMAN, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARD ANOTHER;
MEN WITH MEN WORKING THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY, AND RECEIVING
IN THEMSELVES THAT RECOMPENCE OF THEIR ERROR WHICH WAS MEET.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God
in their knowledge, God gave them over to a REPROBATE MIND,
to do those things which are not convenient;

BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM.
