In a 2003 sermon, Green described the vice as "abnormal, a horrible cancerous tumor in the body of society" and its practitioners as "perverts ... whose sexual drive the Devil has used as his strongest weapon against God." Public prosecutor Kjell Yngvesson played a tape recording of the sermon during Green's trial. "One may have whatever religion one wishes, but [Green's sermon] is an attack on all fronts against homosexuals," insisted Yngvesson. "Collecting Bible [verses] on this topic as he does makes this hate speech." That's right: The prosecutor specified that the sermons constituted "hate speech" because they drew on the Bible.

But in the increasingly centralized European Union, once-independent nations who refuse to enact pro-homosexuality measures may have them stuffed down their throats in the name of "harmonizing" their laws with the new (not yet ratified) EU Constitution. |
