A Greek soccer legend has been sentenced to 10 months in prison for criticizing a gender identity law on his social media posts five years ago.
The Times, a Greek media outlet, reports that in addition to prison time, the Single-Member Misdemeanor Court of Athens also gave former soccer player Vasilis Tsiartas, a suspended 5,000 euro fine for his online comments made in 2017.
Before the gender identity law was passed in 2017, Tsiartas wrote on his official Facebook page that he hoped "the first sex changes are carried out on the children of those who ratified this abomination," according to the outlet.
"Legitimize pedophiles, too, to complete the crimes," he added.
Then, a few hours later, the soccer legend wrote, "God created Adam and Eve."
Tsiartas is the first person to be convicted under the Greek law that makes it illegal to incite violence or hatred on the basis of gender identity, The Times reported.
The Transgender Support Association (SYD) described Tsiartas' conviction as "particularly important for the transgender community."

Mao would be proud.
Who was incited to hatred or violence?
No one!
We shed tens of millions of gallons of blood...and this is the result?
Yes, we wouldn't want the soy boys to get butt hurt (at least not by words).
This happened even before the law was passed.
Just wait and see, it’ll happen here too, give or take a few decades. Unless we can somehow reverse the course.
Do they have a sufficient quantity of crowbars in Greece?
Shocking. Sickening. He also wrote it BEFORE the law was passed, so how was he even charged?
Total insanity.
Because they can.
These guys are in NATO and we gotta defend them?!
Good point. I forgot.
Coming soon to America if Democrats keep stealing elections.
Pour encourager les autres.
It’s not worldwide. It’s the West. The other 86% of the world is not insane & Satanic.
NATO is now the alliance of Satan.
This happened even before the law was passed.

Dig up King James and burn him, for that Bible he wanted to be written.
