STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Swedish court has imposed a 20,000 kronor ($2,600) fine on a woman kennel owner who refused to sell a puppy to a lesbian.

The kennel owner, who was not identified, had initially been willing to sell the woman a puppy but changed her mind when she found out the woman was living with a lesbian partner, according to Sweden's discrimination ombudsman, a government watchdog who filed the lawsuit.

The Nacka District Court outside Stockholm issued the ruling on Thursday, the ombudsman's office said.

"This is an important verdict," said Hans Ytterberg, who heads the ombudsman's office. "It is important that these incidents are tried in court."

1. Good! Make bigotry expensive!

It would be nice if we had that kind of protection from bigotry here.

2. But my senator says

that homosexualiy is just one step away from bestiality. Clearly if we allow gays to hang out, GAY STUFF happens. We can only imagine what might happen if they were allowed dogs.

6. That's just weird.

What, is the lesbian going to turn the puppy into a homosexual grown-up dog? Very strange, indeed...

7. That's what I thought at first. Those damn lesbian dogs are just ruining

society. :rofl:

Pretty soon they will want to be married just like regular dogs and you know the next step is bestiality. Wait a minute......
