March 27Mar 27 A member of the Finland Parliament, Paivi Rasanen, has several times over the last two decdes claimed that homosexuality is a "developmental disorder". Finally taken to court, the Supreme Court ruled that she was incorrect and fined her. Ms. Rasanen was aided in her defence, should we be surprised, by an American organisation - the US-based conservative legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom, which has tried to use her case as an example of censorship in Europe. The group has ramped up its global spending on litigation and other campaigns after successfully overturning Roe v Wade, which protected the right to abortion, in the US. Having made a shambles of much of the USA, these right wing groups should be banned from becoming involved in non-American issues. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/26/finnish-mp-paivi-rasanen-convicted-homosexuality-developmental-disorder
