A writer has been jailed for two months for calling an activist a “fat lesbian.”
Alain Soral, a Swiss writer, critiqued Catherine Macherel as a “queer activist” and described her as “unhinged,” including the descriptive “fat lesbian.”
A report from Fox News said that a court in Lausanne, Switzerland, ordered Soral, who also goes by the name Alain Bonnet, to jail for 60 days for the “crimes” of “defamation, discrimination and incitement to hatred.”
The comments were posted online in a Facebook video several years ago.
Macherel is a writer for Swiss newspapers Tribune de Geneve and 24 Heures.
“This court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of LGBTQI people in Switzerland,” boasted Murial Waeger, of an activist organization promoting lesbianism.
“The conviction of Alain Soral is a strong signal that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in our society.”
Soral also was ordered to pay thousands of Swiss francs in penalties.
Pascal Junod, a lawyer for Soral, mocked the conviction for a “crime of opinion” in an email to a media outlet. He said the case aimed to probe whether a person had “sinned against the dogmas of single thought.” An appeal is planned of the punishment, to the European Court of Human Rights if needed, the lawyer said.
The issue arose because of a Swiss law making it illegal to discriminate against people on the basis of sexual orientation.
While similar punishments have not yet developed in the United States, there are multiple jurisdictions where there already have been schemes to make it “illegal” to criticize, or “discriminate against” someone based on their gender beliefs.
In fact, in one case already under way, 16-year-old Abbigail Wheeler was removed from her local YMCA swim team for expressing alarm at having a biological male in the women’s locker room, Fox reported.
And there have been the cases involving 303 Creative and Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado, where extremists in the homosexual and transgender communities have claimed they have the right to force Christian business operators to violate their faith to accommodate their demands of those businesses.
Both of those companies have won their disputes at the U.S. Supreme Court, but activists continue to level charges against any company they perceive as not advocating for the alternative lifestyle choices they’ve made.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
