The European Court of Human Rights has upheld the conviction of four Swedish men who handed out leaflets to children which said being gay was “morally destructive” to society.

The applicants lost their case after the court found Sweden had not violated their rights to free speech.

The National Youth leaflets said homosexuality was a “deviant sexual proclivity”, had “a morally destructive effect” on society and was responsible for the spread of HIV and AIDS.

They also claimed the “homosexual lobby” was trying to play down paedophilia.

1. Same would apply in the UK.

Effectively hate speech..

2. I'll tell you this: lying about minorities and teaching children to hate them is the real corruption

So I have no problem with this conviction as it applies in Sweden. K&R
