Is video "proof" that something didn't happen, enough?-----Catalonia passes historic anti-homophobia law

EUobserver / Catalonia passes historic anti-homophobia law:
BRUSSELS - Catalonia’s new anti-homophobe legislation could see offenders fined up to €14,000 for attacks carried out against lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals (LGTB).
“Without sanctions, this law would be a mere statement of intent.
This is meant as a deterrent,” Anna Simo, of the leftist Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), was quoted as saying in El Pais.
The legislation requires a person accused of homophobia to prove their innocence in a twist which has drawn criticism from the autonomous community’s Catholic base and conservative political groups alike.
Bishops of Catalonia over the weekend expressed some reservations that the law could also erode a person’s presumption of innocence.
The conservative Popular Party (PP) and the Catalan nationalists of Unio had vetoed the law but were outnumbered by the Catalan socialists and other left wing groups.
