PRIORITIES: France hands out first fines for anti-gay tweets. Weren’t they just marching for free speech or something?

The case against the three had been brought by French charity Comité Idaho, which organizes the International Day Against Homophobia in France.

It had filed a complaint against the users for inciting hatred and violence on the basis of sexual orientation.

The punishments handed down however were fairly light – one was fined €300 while the other two were forced to pay €500 – given the maximum punishment is up to a year in prison and a €45,000 fine.

Although all three were forced to pay the same amount to Comité Idaho, which welcomed the ruling this week.

“The case against the three had been brought by French charity Comité Idaho . . . All three were forced to pay . . . Comité Idaho.” Oh, so it’s not only about thought policing; it’s also about cronyism.
