State Eye for the Homophobe Guy

|

Christian Vanneste will have to pay a 3,000 euro fine and another 3,000 euros in damages to three gay rights organizations after a French court found him guilty of making homophobic statements. Vanneste, a member of Parliament, said that "heterosexuality is morally superior to homosexuality" and "homosexual behavior endangers the survival of humanity." Vanneste says he will appeal the verdict.
