Man Gets 60 Days for Calling Journalist a ‘Fat Lesbian’

GENEVA (AP) — LGBTQ+ groups hailed the 60-day jail sentence a court in Switzerland gave to a writer and commentator for deriding a journalist as a “fat lesbian” and other critical remarks.

The Lausanne court sentenced French-Swiss polemicist Alain Bonnet, who goes by Alain Soral, for the crimes of defamation, discrimination and incitement to hatred on Monday. He was ordered to pay legal fees and fines totaling thousands of Swiss francs in addition to the time behind bars.

Soral lashed out at Catherine Macherel, a journalist for Swiss newspapers Tribune de Geneve and 24 Heures, in a Facebook video two years ago. He called her a “fat lesbian” and said Macherel’s work as a “queer activist” meant she was “unhinged,” according to Swiss public broadcaster RTS. more here

    If hate is such an awful thing, why aren’t they showing love and understanding to this guy?
    Because they have special hate that hates hate.

  2. The woman is a lesbian and is not exactly petite. Apparently telling the truth, in a politically incorrect way is illegal. George Orwell would be so happy that his book that warned about totalitarianism is actually being used as a guideline.
