Sweden Moves to Criminalize Opposition to Homosexuality

By Bob Kellogg, correspondent

The Swedish government is moving toward prohibiting Christians from voicing biblical positions on issues.

The Swedish Parliament has moved to within one step of changing the nation's constitution to ban speech or materials opposing homosexuality and any other alternate lifestyles. If the amendment becomes reality, violators could be subject to prison sentences.

Swedish lawmakers narrowly approved the constitutional amendment last week. Annalie Enochson, a Christian member of Parliament, said the homosexual lobby in Sweden is small but powerful. She noted the measure passed with only 56 percent of the vote.

"Usually, if you change the constitution it should be nearly everybody - I mean, it should be about 80 or 90 percent," Enochson said. "Fifty-six is very, very low."

The amendment must be voted on again after elections this September. If it passes again, it would become effective next January. Enochson said under the amendment, Christians could be arrested for speaking out in churches.

"That means people coming from (the homosexual) lobby group could sit in our churches having on the tape recorder and listen to somebody and say, 'What you're saying now is against our constitution.'"


She said anyone convicted of violating the constitutional amendment could spend six months to four years in jail.

Bob Knight, who heads the Culture and Family Institute at Concerned Women for America, predicted the United States will soon have similar laws.

"The Swedish example should be a wake-up call to the rest of the world that the real intent is to criminalize Christianity," Knight said.

Enochson added pro-homosexual activists will soon be lobbying to make homosexual marriages legal in Sweden.
