International News Briefs

Two activists from the group Queer Mutiny were arrested for breaching the peace May 23 in Edinburgh, Scotland, at a protest outside the Church of Scotland's General Assembly, London's Pink Paper reported June 11.
Police said Iona Murray, 21, breached the peace by carrying a sign that said: "Sinful Sodomite Seeks Similar For Sin + Sodomy. Westboro Baptists Need Not Apply." And a 27-year-old male activist was hit with the same charge merely for wearing a T-shirt that said, "I love sodomy."
Freedom-of-speech laws in the United Kingdom are different from those of the U.S., as are libel laws.
