An absolutely stunning development
Quote:
A court
in Switzerland sentenced a writer and commentator to 60 days in jail for calling a journalist a "fat lesbian," and the decision is being lauded by LGBTQ+ groups.
On Monday, French-Swiss polemicist Alain Bonnet, who goes by Alain Soral, was sentenced by the Lausanne court for
the crimes of defamation, discrimination and incitement to hatred after he criticized Catherine Macherel, a journalist for Swiss newspapers Tribune de Geneve and 24 Heures, in a Facebook video two years ago.
I can only wonder how far behind the Swiss we are. Probably not as much as we might think. And to be clear, I abhor the idea of any person going to print and referring to someone as a "fat lesbian", or a fat anything else for that matter, but it's not the government's job to monitor such things, and especially when it's a journalist who is on the receiving end. They should expect to get a few grenades lobbed at them (metaphor alert!!) from time to time.
