Finnish politician under investigation for citing Romans to oppose LGBT pride
Räsänen is under scrutiny for publishing a tweet in conjunction with Helsinki Pride on 18 June 2019. Helsinki Police Department on Friday said the tweet suggested that the event is portraying sin and shame as sources of pride and questioned the church’s participation in it.
“How does the foundation of the church’s teachings, the Bible, fit with elevating sin and shame as reasons for pride?” stated Räsänen.
