      Not surprised. A spell in jail might broaden the mind.

      This! The initial writings she made which she was charged on were dropped. Later on she wrote that homosexuality was a medical disease and this is the reason why she was condemned. Nothing to do with the bible or religion.

      Her supporters are trying to twist this into a “she was convicted for quoting the Bible” case, which is a blatant lie: she was charged for more than one thing, and the one about the Bible didn’t pass on any level of justice. She was seen to have abused her position of authority (being a member of parliament, plus being educated as a doctor) to spread false, inflammatory claims about a group of people, suggesting homosexuality can be “treated” etc.

      Visiting the United States some weeks or maybe months ago, she left local Christians in the belief that European Christians are being persecuted. But she’s literally a member of parliament, only convicted based on spreading harmful lies, not for religious views.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if, in certain US media-  and in the mouths of Trump and Vance- this Finnish MP gets turned into a political prisoner, persecuted for her views.

       And that would become the grounds for new sanctions and higher tariffs on Finnish goods, and maybe even the entire EU.

      No politician in secular society should quote bible. If s/he choose to believe in this particular brand of fairy tails, it is private business of this person. But being elected official is public duty and the politician has to work for his/here constituents… and not all of them drink the same flavor of cool aid … and most don’t need big brother in the sky watching over to go through life as a decent person.

      Not to mention that being a doctor what she was doing is effectively lying in public.

      When she got her medical degree she would have read in all textbooks that homosexuality was classified as a mental disorder. Now many years later reposting an image on Facebook from 2003 saying similar stuff gets you fined.

      I think she could have defended this claim. Before 1981 psychiatrists debated the topic openly. Some for some against. And they still debate it as no one knows how to properly define it or what a mental disorder even truly is. So there are thousands of professionals who claim what she is claiming yet maybe not on Facebook in Finland as clearly you’ll get fined.

      At what point are people going to get sick of this sickness infesting politics. So fucking sick of us being “represented” by the absolute worst gutter scumbags among us

    12. Exotic_Insurance2164 on

      Wtf is going on in Finland? Your politicians are making MAGA look normal. 

    13. Tecnopolo on

      I mean , I don’t think that homosexuality is a disorder but it was classified as such until 1990 by the world health organization. That MP was alive at the time.

      I don’t want to put a precedent for new scientific discoveries being forced by law. It Invalides all the scientific studies on the subject.

    14. UnMikstakeable on

      It’s appalling that someone could be convicted of such an Orwellian charge as ‘inciting hatred’

    15. WaterFalse9092 on

      Kinda sad that people don’t realise that censoring speech won’t make hate go away, only amplify it while simultaneously making it harder to detect.

    16. Wynnrose on

      She got in trouble for having batshit crazy view?? Is that a thing in Finland that most people in this thread don’t even seem to have an issue with? Did she do something illegal ? Are people not allowed to state views?

    17. JtheLeon on

      A Boomer. What a surprise. 

      Edit: What’s up with the downvotes? Are you blind to the fact that the most problematic and judgemental group of people are the boomers? 

    18. sojuz151 on

      I disapprove of what she said, but I will defend her right to say it. What she said falls under the freedom of speech, which is a human right.

    19. Veenkoira00 on

      Ms. Räsänen’s antics just run and run. She seems not to grasp that while she is at perfect liberty to have her own ideas what’s right and wrong and while no one is making her to do anything that she thinks is wrong, it’s a two way street. I foresee her being in trouble with the law on and off for rest of her life.

    21. Brbi2kCRO on

      Assholes with zero respect for human boundaries and with extremely selfish self-interest who think they found a way to success through the “secret” (also known as being the asshole).

    24. heurekas on

      Good on Finland. Wish more countries would try and combat these facists and “white/christian genociders”.

    26. Fishy_____Business on

      This is laughable. It’s not a crime here to damage someone’s car in a parking lot and run away but this is.
      She wouldn’t have been convicted in US.

      Freedom of speech was one of the things that separated us from Russia. Not sure if we have it anymore.

    28. MarkoMarjamaa on

      “Every time Räsänen opens her mouth, a thousand people leave church”
      She has been one of the best advocates for free-thinking atheists.

      She said homosexuality is in ICD-10 ( disease codes ).
      So is bad breath. So what.

    29. HarryCumpole on

      Yeah, Räsänen is an absolutely typical religious bigoted scumbag. Religion is the best way to remove all sense of human decency, morality and empathy and enable the worst aspects of humanity.

      Freedom of speech is not a right, it is a *responsibility*.

    30. M90Motorway on

      I don’t agree with her in the slightest (I am gay myself) however I do not understand why she has been convicted of a crime unless she has physically harassed people. It’s a very dangerous route to charge people for their opinions.

    31. JinxedBayblade on

      Why is there no sanity middle ground no more? it is either people who dont know what a woman is or islamist sharia. wtf is everyone doing. they destroy everything
