Sweden is the only European country worth emulating.
Certain verses of the Bible and Quran are considered hate speech, which is a criminal offense there. As such, bullying of LGBT people is virtually non-existent. Even then, Sweden is one of the world's least religious countries.
Quote:
Sweden prohibits hate speech, and defines it as publicly making statements that threaten or express disrespect for an ethnic group or similar group regarding their race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, faith, or sexual orientation.[86][87] The law does not prohibit a pertinent and responsible debate (en saklig och vederhäftig diskussion), nor statements made in a completely private sphere.[88] There are constitutional restrictions pertaining to which acts are criminalized, as well limits set by the European Convention on Human Rights.[89] The crime is called hets mot folkgrupp in Swedish, which directly translates to Incitement (of hatred/violence) towards population group.
The sexual orientation provision, added in 2002,[90] was used to convict Pentecostalist pastor Åke Green of hate speech based on a 2003 sermon. His conviction was later overturned.[89][91]
