Paris, Dec. 22 (CWNews.com) - France has officially passed a law banning so-called sexist and anti-gay speech, which critics said could be a blow to freedom of speech and of religion.

Religion vs PC, it's the kind of war I usualy avoid like the plague! Same sort of thing as Abu Hamza whipping up hatred against "the West" I guess. I wonder if the French blokes will get fined for telling sexist jokes?
