France, a country that claims to be built upon the principles of free speech and that hosted a clutch of hypocritical world leaders just the other week to confirm it, has just handed out its first ‘hashtag’ convictions after three people wrote ‘let’s burn the gays’ on Twitter.
In what a major French LGBT rights group called a “significant victory”, three people were convicted in a Paris court this week after they accompanied tweets with hashtags including “let’s burn the gays on…“ or “#brûlonslesgayssurdu).”
During the same period in August 2013, “#Lesgaysdoiventdisparaîtrecar”, or “gays must die because…”, was also trending.
French LGBT charity Comité Idaho, which organises the nation’s International Day Against Homophobia, brought the case to court after it filed a complaint against the users for inciting hatred and violence on the basis of sexual orientation
However, LGBT rights campaingers were disappointed by what they viewed as relatively light punishments, as the maximum punishment for such crimes is up to a year in prison and a €45,000 fine. One defendant was fined €300 while the other two were forced to pay €500, TheLocal.Fr reported.
If you were to tell any of our European ancestors that the day would come when you could be locked up for a year just for saying something that the sodomites didn’t like, they would think you were mad.
