A French MP faces jail and a heavy fine after being accused of offending homosexuals by saying they represent a "threat to humanity".
In France's first criminal prosecution under a year-old amendment of an 1881 law on press freedom, Christian Vanneste was taken to court by gay rights groups.
The modified law outlaws insults based on gender or sexual orientation and allows for up to six months' imprisonment and a £15,000 fine.
The public prosecutor at the trial in Lille said Vanneste was guilty as charged but made no recommendation on how he should be punished. Judgment on the case will be given on Jan 24.

Hate Laws Anyone?
The only speech liberals support in full is smut speech.
I just wonder how the Western Left will reconcile their love of the Jihadists with the Jihadists hatred of homosexuals...
"I just wonder how the Western Left will reconcile their love of the Jihadists with the Jihadists hatred of homosexuals..."
They won't. The left is full of contradictions and inconsistencies. It's ok with them.
Hatred of the US trumps all other considerations (at the moment.)
Little do they know that the Jihadists would have them swinging from cranes and lamposts if they could, right now.
I was thinking "thoughtcrime" myself.
If I was a European voter, I would be voting fascist as well.
It's obvious the "mainstream" European parties worship at the altar of Multiculturalism (and multiculturalism is simply code for the destruction of the West)
Yeah, but how would you monitor thoughts?
Required random polygraph tests?
It could work!
What a great perfect society that would be!!!
Do your eyes involuntarily jump to the sight of the female form, which your brain is hard-wired to do? Jail time!
Erection in public, for ANY reason? Jail time!
Did you just blush when that really attractive woman brushed up against you in the elvator? Jail time!
Okay, a woman is speaking directly to you, which tacitly provides you with permission to look at her. And you are maintaining direct eye contact. Good, good. But wait... what's this I see? Your pupils are dilating? Jail time!
If that came about, then without any doubt, I would be convicted as WORST SERIAL GAWKER of all time!
The Froggies are plagued by polygamous Muslim families. Thousands of them yet they go after someone who tells the truth about the "gay lifestyle"
The funny thing is that the French Multiculturalists believe that the Jihadists will have mercy on them.
It would be funny (their eventual comeuppance) if they didn't have hundreds of nuclear missiles.
