Finland Convicts MP for Anti-LGBTQ+ Remarks

Finland's Supreme Court convicted MP Paivi Rasanen of incitement.
Rasanen fined 1,800 euros for calling homosexuality a 'developmental disorder' in 2019-2020 pamphlets.
Legal process lasted nearly seven years after lower courts previously cleared her.
Court acquitted Rasanen of a 2019 Bible quote charge condemning gay relations.
Rasanen called the ruling 'a shock' and may appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
ADF International criticized the conviction as creating a 'chilling effect'.
