Finnish Minister Charged With ‘Hate Crimes’ For Citing Bible Verse Acquitted in Landmark Ruling

Hurting gay people’s feelings isn’t yet a crime.

A Helsinki court has dismissed all “hate speech” charges against former Finnish minister Päivi Räsänen, ruling that her citation of Bible verses which described homosexuality as “shameful” and “unnatural” is part of religious free speech.

Prosecutors had claimed that Päivi Räsänen’s remarks were illegal because they represented an “affront to the equality and dignity of homosexuals.”

However, at least according to the law as it stands, hurting gay people’s feelings isn’t yet a crime.

Räsänen, an MP for Finland’s Christian Democrats party, posted comments criticizing the Finnish Lutheran Church for associating itself with LGBT activist causes.

Accusing the church of “elevating shame and sin to a point of pride,” Räsänen included an image of a Bible verse which denounced gay lifestyles as “shameful” and “unnatural.”

The former minister was subjected to hours of police interrogation over her beliefs and subsequently charged.

However, she avoided potential prison time after being acquitted in what had been seen as a major international litmus test for free speech.

The court unanimously declared that it “was not the district court’s duty to interpret biblical terms” and that “there must be an overriding social reason for interfering with and restricting freedom of expression.”

Räsänen was simply attempting to “defend the concept of family and marriage between man and woman,” the court ruled, ordering the Finnish state to cover the cost of her €60,000 legal defense costs.

“I am very thankful that the court acknowledged the threat to freedom of speech and ruled in our favor. I feel as if a burden has been taken off my shoulder. Although I am grateful for the opportunity to defend freedom of speech, I hope that this ruling will help others avoid going through the same trial,” Räsänen said after the verdict.

As we highlighted last year, a Christian pastor in the UK was arrested by police on the streets of London after a member of the public reported him for the “homophobic” comment of saying that marriage was between a man and a woman.

“That’s not normal, I don’t want that right in front of everybody. It’s weird.”

Podcast king Joe Rogan summarised how most Americans feel about having LGBTQ+ stuff shoved in their faces everywhere they look.

Rogan addressed the issue Tuesday, noting “People are going ‘ENOUGH, ENOUGH.’ Stop shoving this down everybody’s throat. When I go to Target I don’t want to see like fucking tuck pants, like they’re designed to help you tuck your dick…That’s not normal, I don’t want that right in front of everybody. It’s weird.”

“Target lost billions of dollars because they tried to have this pride selection. They had all these like pride children’s shirts,” Rogan emphasised, adding “this Bud Light thing with Dylan Mulvaney, they’ve lost $20+ billion.”

Rogan continued, “Can you imagine you’re just gonna send a fucking can to a confused person that ‘Day 365 of womanhood’ and you send that person a fucking can with their face on it and your company loses $20 billion?”

“That is wild shit man. So we’re seeing that now where we never saw that before,” Rogan urged, adding “There’s a lot of fucking real weirdness with this group of people that’s trying to change the way people view sexuality and gender.”

Rogan’s guest Theo Von suggested the creation of an app that would reveal where businesses are investing in order that customers can more easily avoid any companies that are championing causes they personally would not.

Watch:

Target is reported to have lost an estimated $10 billion in value since the Satanic pride/tuck swimsuit controversy began last month.

    Biden Creates New LGBTQ+ “Book Ban” Resistance Within Department Of Education

    Some of the books in question contain pedophilia and many contain pornography

    The Biden Administration has created a new position within the Department of Education to counter what they are describing as a move to “ban” LGBTQ+ themed books aimed at children, some as young as five or six years old.

    A coordinator within the DoE will be responsible for resisting “efforts that disproportionately strip books about LGBTQI+ communities, communities of color, and other communities off of library and classroom shelves,” according to a statement by the administration.

    The statement further notes that the coordinator will “work to provide new trainings for schools nationwide on how book bans that target specific communities and create a hostile school environment may violate federal civil rights laws.”

    The announcement was just one element among a raft of executive actions, many citing “LGBTQI+ kids,” and “helping families to affirm and support their LGBTQI+ child.”

    As we have relentlessly highlighted, the term “book ban” is a misnomer that has been affixed to efforts by some lawmakers, officials and parents to remove sexually graphic and wholly inappropriate material from school libraries and programs.

    Some of the books in question contain pornographic images and even pedophilia themes, as well as unscientific statements about biological gender.

    CIA Slammed For ‘Dystopian’ Pride Tweet

    Claims it has a ‘rich LGBTQ history’ despite previous ‘homosexual investigations’

    The CIA is the latest entity that has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ to demand everyone celebrate ‘Pride Month,’ despite having previously conducted ‘homosexual investigations’ and described gay people as “having mental or emotional problems”.

    “Pride Month is an occasion for all of us at the Agency to pay tribute to the rich history, community, and mission contributions of our LGBTQ+ officers,” the CIA tweeted, adding a bunch of phrases to spell out WELCOME and an image of Langley HQ in rainbow colours with ‘PRIDE’ and ‘CIA’ arranged on top of it.

    The tweet is so weird that many thought it was a parody.

    Others noted how dystopian and creepy this is all getting:

    The CIA doesn’t have a “rich history” of celebrating Pride, quite the opposite.

    It’s not weird at all that every government agency, and even the military as well is hammering this relentlessly, right?

    Don’t question it or you’ll be arrested:
