Other than WEF meetings in Davos this is the only news I've ever heard from Switzerland.

If I ever meet a Swiss person I'll say oh yeah Switzerland, that's the country where they put someone in prison for calling someone a fat lesbian.

He wasn't even lying. Turns out she really is a fat lesbian.

The woman that popped up in Google didn't look fat but the article only seems to indicate the "lesbian" part was the problem. So I'm confused. Is calling a lesbian a lesbian somehow defamation?

Switzerland is a very, very strange country with some very odd rules.

Pointing something out is apparently "discrimination based on sexuality". You can call someone an ugly cunt, but if you say ugly lesbian, and lesbian is accurate, somehow that is illegal.
