Black Sunday? Will Swiss Voters Ban Spontaneous Humour?
Today the voters of Switzerland have a chance to preserve their hard-won heritage of individual liberty, or vote to approve an Alpine version of the queers’ charter…
.
.
….which has now been incorporated into almost every West (but thank God not East) European body of law, muzzling citizens who could previously express their distaste for sexual perversion, but in Switzerland…
.
‘…the government stresses that the new law will not hinder public debate or affect private conversations.’
Well, that’s okay then, right?
Wrong!
‘Even jokes about gays are still OK “as long as they respect human dignity”, Interior Minister Alain Berset said in a video message to voters….’ https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-51407327
So if this latest gaystapo Great Leap Forward goes through, as polls predict it very well may, no more spontaneous humour in Switzerland!
As the Minister makes so menacingly clear, every Swiss citizen will have to ponder carefully before sharing a little bitty witty to-and-fro with colleagues at work or drinking buddies in a bar…

It is exactly what you say.
The Swiss will be less free and not only in the telling of jokes.
We see this effect in many other countries and as the English say, you give one inch and they will take the mile.
Already the ‘LBGT’ extremist leaders want to start new steps to include ‘transgenders’ and that is very bad for society. In English language countries people are now punished for calling a she-man a she.
Madness I think.
I read in the news that most votes will be for the ‘queer charter’ as you call it and if that is true I feel sorry for the Swiss growing up today.
They will never be as free as we are till now.

How foolish of Swiss voters if they pass this anti-free speech law.
You capture the essential point, that people will have to think about the consequences if they make a joke, and even more if they say what most normal people think about homosexuality, that it is self-evidently abnormal and sick.
