Ake Green was caught under similar laws in Sweden.
For many years The Christian Institute opposed a religious hatred law because of the dangers to free speech; we oppose a 'homophobic hatred' law for the same reason.
The story of Ake Green illustrates how such a law can severely restrict religious liberty. He was convicted under a similar law in Sweden, simply for preaching a biblical sermon on homosexuality. You can hear his story in his own words by watching the video below.
In the UK, Joe and Helen Roberts were interrogated by the police on their views on sexual ethics, even when there was no law under which they could be charged. Watch a video of their remarkable story below.
More resources and news relating to a potential homosexual hate crime will be added to this page in the future.
