Europe’s attempts to police speech test its liberal credentials

A staunch conservative, mother of five and member of parliament since 1995, she questioned on social media whether the church endorsing Pride was compatible with the Bible’s teachings on sin and shame.

The temerity of her questioning has resulted in six years of police investigations, prosecution, trials and the threat of a hefty fine.
