Switzerland votes to criminalize ‘homophobia’

Switzerland was a nice place to visit. Glad I had the chance.

I lived in Switzerland for 8 wonderful months quite a long time ago - and I enjoyed every single moment. I went back on holiday a few times too

I was in Geneva - wonderful city and full of all nationalities

After I left School and before I started Nursing training - so I lived with a French [ not Swiss ] family and helped look after their children - had lots of free time so learned my way round Geneva

So who are the fascist? Remember for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I was listening to Spec Op Navy Seal being interviewed and he was speaking to the divisiveness happening in the US. He spoke of how both sides have no idea of what the effects of violence do to a person.

He further mentioned how he and others are sitting on the sidelines and if the time comes they will step in. We need to be careful.

free speech is the cornerstone of a free society.

That word is overused. I think marriage should be between one man and one woman. That does not make me afraid of anything.

Who would decide what constitutes "homophobia"? Because you won't go to your gay son's wedding? Not like a gay kiss on Facebook? Crazy!

The US is one presidential election away from following suit.

Again I am reminded that I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to step outside the borders of the United States. It's not perfect here, but at least I have the right to think, say, and believe what I please. And (so far) I also have the right to defend that right from all forms and all levels of tyranny.

I realize that makes me a nasty, bigoted, violent, ugly redneck (if you subscribe to the viewpoint of the New Left), but that's just too bad, isn't it? I will be the first one to admit that I'm a suspicious old veteran with a low tolerance point for nonsense.....can't help it; combat put a stamp on me that I can't get rid of.
