Granada, Spain, Aug 9, 2017 / 23:37 pm
A Spanish state prosecutor has dismissed a 'hate crime' complaint against the Archbishop of Granada after an LGBT activist group claimed he had preached hate against transgender people in a homily.
According to EFE news agency, the case was thrown out because the Granada prosecutor's office could not find sufficient cause to bring legal action against Archbishop Francisco Javier Martínez of Granada.
In February, the activist group "Observatory against LGBT-phobia" filed a complaint against the archbishop, claiming that he "promoted hate speech against LGBT persons" in a homily in which he lamented the introduction of gender ideology to young children in school.
"There is a short-sightedness and lack of intelligence" in introducing this ideology to children, the archbishop said in his homily at the time.
