French Canadians

A court in Lille handed down its sentence on a French Parliamentarian Tuesday, fining him 3000 Euros and forcing him to pay an additional 6000 Euros to be split between three homosexual activist groups who brought the charges against the MP. Christian Vanneste, a member of the UMP representing the Lille region was found guilty in December on charges of violating a French law barring "hate speech" against homosexuals.

What did he say?

"Homosexual acts are socially and morally inferior . . . To describe a behavior which is not beneficial for society is not discriminating against those who make the choice of homosexuality."

Where did he make them? In parliament during debate.

So not only does France deny free speech in the name of protecting homosexuals, but it also revokes the long-standing qualified privilege of frank speech during legislative debate.

When did France become Canada?
