Homosexuality and homophobia (morbid fear of gays) is nothing new although homophobic attitudes first made its real entry/inroads with Christianity. World history shows, however, that they have been well accustomed with gays relations throughout history. Everything from informal and not registered relationships, to temporary relationships and to highly ritualized conditions which have contained marriage. It has always been subcultures of men and women who have had the primary emotional and sexual orientation to people of the same sex and dressed in clothes of the opposite sex. In some cases, this subculture been both accepted and admired, but in many other cases, women and men have been harassed, excluded, placed in mental institutions, imprisoned and killed. Gays cohabitation, partnership and marriage has existed from time immemorial and is today once again, more and more recognized and accepted as a normal way of living together worldwide, but the road has been both long, heavy, painful and hard.

• Born in 272 and became so-called Christian in 312. What sexual orientation he had, and how he lived as an individual before he became a Christian, or after for that matter, the story tells very little about, since he has been an autocratic emperor, deciding what posterity should know about him or not. Whatever, it is sown considerable doubt in hindsight about his so-called Christian values being sincere or not.
• Still, we can say, the truth about the fall of Rome, after its 300-year heyday, is most likely due to the way the Emperor Constantine imposed his new Christian faith to its imperial residents. He introduced anti-religious laws, forbade their traditional beliefs, and introduced Christian anti-sex laws. Suddenly they were refused to worship their familiar gods, and they were persecuted for being sexually active in the same way as before. This led to that the discontent with the new moralizing regime nearly exploded.
• With the fall of Rome and the Christianity's victory over the pagan Roman gods, started the medieval gloomy and dark 1000 years. Perhaps mankind's darkest, gloomiest and most downtrodden and underdeveloped period ever.
• Normal human power and governance was replaced by so-called good Christians, ambitious, power-hungry and not least greedy church leaders. They got a power that rose to incredible heights. They had power over kings and emperors and head of states. They made both direct and indirect oppression of people, their lives, their beliefs, their knowledge, their art and not least free understanding. The rod behind the mirror, if people did not do what they were told to, was burning in a fiery hell.
• It is no exaggeration to say, that Emperor Constantine the Great's homophobia was a more major reason for the fall of Rome than gays were - He began even castration of gays, and after him we got clerical homophobes and their atrocities in a long, long row.

The Roman Empire was divided and Christianity was made to the official religion, despite the fact that there were only about five percent of the population being Christian in the western part of the empire, and about ten percent in the eastern. This did not deter power-hungry clerics from spreading fear and showing their power, only to gain full control over the population.

The bishop of Milan, St. Ambrose, excommunicated the emperors because of the spread of heresy, and the appropriate punishment for their sins was to issue an imperial decree, which for the first time in history, criminalized all sexual relations between men. The prescribed punishment was death by burning.

May 14, 390, the decree of the Christian emperors Valentinian II, Theodosius I and Arcadius was laid out in Roman hall of Minerva, who were commemorating the Roman goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, magic, and those who invented the music. The place was a favourite gathering place for actors, writers and artists. The reason was actually, that gays men at the imperial court were strong opponents of Catholic teaching and life of Jesus Christ. This cruel persecution went on for over a thousand years.

In 1431, Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for having worn male clothing and for breaking with accepted gender roles. She maintained that her vocation, motivation and way of dressing came as a direction from God. Her followers, however considered her to be sacred.

The medieval period is a period in European history ranging from ancient shutdown until early modern times or Renaissance.

Within political history it has been customary to date it more precisely to 476-1453, respectively the Western and Byzantine kingdom fall as one of extremes.

It emphasizes the demographic, cultural and economic deterioration that allegedly took place in Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. Yes, a time of darkness and decay. The period was marked by a relative lack of historical and other written sources, at least for some areas of Europe, which makes it particularly difficult for historians.

In retrospect, one can really ask themselves whether the introduction of Christianity, or handing over the power from ordinary human heads of states, to the holy and exalted, power-hungry and greedy church leaders, were of the good or evil for the people who lived in this dark time, in which everything was a shame, taboo and not to mention totally prohibited.

Before Christianity gained a foothold in Scandinavia, homosexuality was not  seen as a sin or something punishable among Vikings. Viking laws and saga texts show that they looked very different on the active and the passive party in a relationship, that is if the act was observed by eyewitnesses, but most often applied "the law of concealing" (not telling) and they simply did not pass it on.

Bottom line was; it was not shameful to be with another man while one was the manly and active party. This was probably the reason why there were often slaves who were the passive party because they had no honour to defend.

A man who subjected himself to another man, was in fact not considered to be a real man. This was probably also an important reason why the Vikings raped both men and women on their depredations. Women to propagate and men to humble them, as well as to show them who was the strongest, and not least who the victor.

According to the Icelandic law code, it was a deadly insult if one accused another man to be effeminate, unmanly or "rargr", which could correspond to the passive party in a gay relationship. The victim had therefore both the law and the right to challenge the provocateur to a duel to death to restore his honour.

We see, in other words that the term is related to passive, receiving homosexuality. It was not at all a problem to be the active party. Rather the opposite.

What we can read from this, is that it is not homosexuality as such, that is the problem, no it is being public submissive, weak, and the lack of honour it involves. On the other hand, there has always been an opportunity to prove otherwise by duel.

A good safety valve.

A meeting was held at Moster between the bishops and the king's men between 1022 and 1024. Christian rights were put forward - made into church laws. At this council, the church was linked up to King Olav the Holy as a state church. The new law called "The big character change " and was largely founded on Christian values.

- Yes on both good and evil.

It came ban on homosexual acts already in the first recorded laws in the 1100s. The penalty was the loss of fortune or exile. Anyway, historians do not know  about anyone who was punished for this in the dark ages. After the Reformation in 1536, the penalty sharpened. Now the Bible was increasingly used as inspiration for the laws.

The new laws did not mention homosexuality since the word had not yet been invented, but forbade "unnatural socialization". The lawmakers would not that such cases would be spoken in any kind of public way. In practice this meant that it was forbidden for men to have sexual relations with anyone other than women. There was no distinction between sexual relations with other men and with animals, both were called sodomy. To be convicted of sodomy, it had to be proved that they had penetrated the "victim".

The Renaissance, from French Renaissance "rebirth", is a term for a period of time, but also a spiritual flow and direction in art and architecture in western Europe, originated in Italy in 1350's with the poetry collection Canzoniere by Francesco Petrarca. It alludes to the revival of ancient philosophy, art and culture, in contrast to what was seen as the cruel barbarism in the dark ages.

Not at least contributed, two of the Renaissance large and gays artistic masters named Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, to put art and especially homosexuality on the world map again. It was not only Florence that was the hotbed of new gays artists, such as Greece once was, but also Paris, Berlin, London, New York and of course Rome. With so many places only in the West, it goes without saying that gays are one of the major sources of cultural flowering.

Even if homophobes never will stop its persecution against gays, they will never be able to kill or eradicate homosexuality. Homosexuality has existed from time immemorial, and has come to stay as long as there are people on earth.

Many believe that the Pope's Swiss guard first and foremost was created because of security, not to mention pomp and circumstance, but it is wrong. Why did it have to be the most handsome and prettiest Swiss boys between 19 and 30 years? Why did they have to sign a declaration of confidentiality which also included their own sexual privacy.

- Yes, for ever and always?

Well, when you as a Catholic Pope was "taken with your pants down" as gay, or as a sodomite who it previously was often referred to, what could be more natural and smarter than camouflaging their gays lovers, yes as pretty, handsome, young and virile Guardsmen?

Guardsmen who stood 100% under the pope's command and to his own pleasure just when he wanted. Now was the gay and sex possessed pope, amidst its own custom-designed candy store, and could only pick and choose. The Swiss Guard was simply a papal gay paradise on earth, for him, his gays sex needy cardinals and not at least for the subsequent needy popes and cardinals.

Who was it, having such a cunning and wonderful idea? History shows it was Pope Julius II, often called the belligerent or the dreaded Pope who founded the Vatican's Swiss Guard on January 22 1506. His name was really Giuliano della Rovere and he reigned as Pope since he was 59 until he was 69 years old. He was the nephew of the former Pope Sixtus IV (1471-1484), and was most likely just as gay as his uncle.

It was Pope Julius II who started with the indulgences trade as well, and who created the world famous quotation: Once the money in the chest sounds, the soul from purgatory springs.

Cause: To raise money for, among other things construction of St. Peter's Basilica, and maybe his personal gay life style (keeping young Guardsmen), the pope started selling indulgences that people could buy instead of doing penance for their sins. This arrangement proved to be very popular especially among people who had money.

Something you may not know, was that one could also buy indulgences for something wrong one later was going to commit. The scheme resulted in substantial income to the church.

He was sentenced by the Council of Pisa as "the sodomite (gay) with the shameful wounds" (pink syphil's rash on face and hands). The council based its conclusions on Julius's great love for Federigo Gonzaga, Francesco Alidosi and many other handsome young men. But he was not the only gays Pope with love of young men through the ages.

Pope John XII, who reigned between 955-963, had the Roman emperor Heliogabalus (Elagabalus) and his very dissolute conduct that typifies. This meant that he himself held and participated in countless gays sex orgies in the papal palace.

Yet it is perhaps correct to call Pope Benedict IX (1032-1048) for the first pope who was primarily gay. Yes, if nothing else, he is known to have transformed the Vatican into a luxurious male brothel where he amused himself masterfully.

The list of bisexuals and gays popes and cardinals are long, infinitely long. Nevertheless, Pope Julius II, is the one who has left the biggest and best gays inheritance or gift in the history of their descendants - namely the Papal Swiss Guard. If homosexuality was as great pity as the Catholic Church claims, why has not the subsequently popes abolished their own little gays sex paradise?

Yes, because it is constantly popes and cardinals who need and want gay sexuell diversion - a pleasure that should not be for others to take part in. They protect themselves under their motto: "You will do as I say, and not as I do "!

That's the truth!

Decked, Martin Luther "the father of the Protestantism" on the truth when he spoke about himself? He himself claimed that he came from poverty and that a divine impulse in 1505 meant that he would become a monk.

New research shows that the pious monk, not being truthful about their own lives. A large group of German archaeologists have in five years’ time, been searching the house where Luther was born in Eisleben, and the home where he grew up in Mansfeld. Based on the new excavations and studies, is the fact that he, his whole life has belonged to the middle class.

In the famous monk's childhood homes, the researchers found clues that suggest Luther's father, even as a young man, owning a copper mine, and that Luther's mother was born in a middle class home. No signs of a childhood in poverty. Why did he lie?

Luther's father had earlier married off three daughters and a son, to the children of a hatter. The next in line to be married off was the 21 years old son Martin. The experts are asking themselves, if it would have been so much worse to be married off to a wealthy hatter daughter, versus living alone as a monk in seclusion? Well, unless the decision might have been based on the fact that Luther was gay and that he had more interest in spending the rest of his life among men with similar orientation.

This remains a speculation if one does not find further evidence, but perhaps he used the lightning that struck down beside him, on the 2nd of July 1505, as a rescue plank for its gays orientation, and as a pretext to escape and get married himself by saying: "I want to become a monk." If so, this was a proper subtly to avoid being married off against their will, and perhaps not least against their carnal desire. Why could not the great Father of the Church circumvent this truth, just as lenient as the truth about his childhood, upbringing and his life in general?

Anyway, thanks to the young Martin Luther, gay or not, his indomitable courage, his later opposing and strong battle against the darkness and lust for power in the oppressive and greedy Catholic Church, emerged a new way of thinking that gave people new opportunities and new hope.

King Christian V's Norwegian Act of 1687 introduced the death penalty: "Intercourse, contrary to nature, will be punished by burning on a bonfire".

Those who were to blame in that kind, were unclean, and the community had to be purified by fire.

This was the current Norwegian Penal Code until 1842. However, historians does not know anyway that the clause was ever used against men who had sex with other men in Norway. But there are relatively many cases where this section was used against men who had sexual intercourse with animals, also called bestiality.  It is found over 80 such cases after 1687. What women did, the state was not concerned about.

Nevertheless, one only know two cases before 1842, where male homosexuality was investigated. One case is from Valdres in 1674. An officer had used its authority to force the soldiers under his command to embody sociable on "sodomy conjures". It was hold questioning, but the officer had escaped to foreign countries. His wife, belonging to the noble elite in Norway, were granted a divorce, and the case was quickly hushed up. There was no trial.

The other case is from Kragerø in 1693, and was the defendant sawmill worker Aaron Åsulsen, which several accused of indecent approaches and to be guilty of "the sin that should not be mentioned". Although he acknowledged his actions, it ended with him being whipped with 29 strokes of the executioner, branded and banished from the city. This was how the community avoided all the fuss a public execution would entail.

It was not just Norway using such concealment strategy or also called pardoning concealment. One knows about the very same from both Swedish and Danish case law. It is therefore likely, that this is the reason that one does not know of several similar cases in the 1600s and 1700s.

In the English Doctor Frank Richardson's book about Napoleon "The bisexual emperor" in 1973, he notes that Napoleon always surrounded himself with disproportionate handsome young men most of whom were given extraordinary military promotions.

Evangeline Bruce, whose biography from 1995, is titled "Napoleon and Josephine - an unlikely marriage", there is a note written by the emperor in which he confided that when he met a young handsome man, his admiration went "first to the hips and then to a place he would not name".

Keith Stern's "Queers in History" from 2009, mentions that Napoleon was particularly possessed of gay love among his fellow soldiers, and many of his aides was extremely feminine.

Rumors would that General Duroc (pictured right) who served as chief of security at the palace, was also the emperor's lover. It is said that Gaspard Gourgaud guarded access to his master at a very jealous way.

In 1803, Napoleon and France sold Louisiana to the United States, and on the bandwagon followed Napoleon's new law Code Civil or Code Napoléon of 1804.

This has resulted in, Louisiana's laws are completely different from all the other 49 states laws, partly because this law decriminalized homosexuality.

In New Orleans one even got a new slang expression "to follow the Napoleonic code" (following the Napoleonic law) for being gay.

Napoleon used the very same law, when he wanted to divorce from his wife Josephine in 1809, who had not given him any descendants.

Maybe all this gives a new meaning to the phrase: "Not tonight, Josephine! Not tonight!"

Now perhaps we do understand better why Napoleon and France wanted to decriminalize homosexuality in their legislation of 1804, while Norway, however, did not decriminalized homosexuality sooner than in 1972.

The new Penal Code which was adopted on 22 May 1902 and entered into force on 1 January 1905, upheld the penalty provision for "lewd intercourse between men". Maximum penalty was however reduced to one year in prison. The provision also expressed "prosecuting will only happen, when it is required in the public interest". It was this clause that applied until 1972.

In practice, this meant essentially a decriminalization of male homosexuality in Norway from the beginning of the 1900s. Female homosexuality was ironed out completely. Norway had few criminal cases compared to other countries. In this sense, the gay history in Norway is slightly less gloomy than in many other countries.

One could say that homophobia in Norway might have, in a way been less brutal and more discreet, but perhaps just as raw and efficient?

Henry Gerber, born as Joseph Henry Dittmar on 29 June 1892 in Passau, Bavaria, Germany, created the first gays rights organization "The Society for Human Rights" in Chicago in 1924.

In July 1925 it was an abrupt end to the organization. The wife of one of the founders reported its familiar bisexual husband to a social worker, who in turn contacted the police. They were arrested and charged with misconduct. After three costly attempts to defend themselves, the case was flatly rejected and Gerber lost all their savings and jobs.

He is now a member of the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame.

The question of whether Hitler himself was gay, or at least bisexual, has occupied historians for decades. The renowned historian Lothar Machtan from Bremen in Germany published in 2001 the book "Hitler's secret - a dictator's double life" where he presents a compelling variety of circumstantial evidence after several years of research.

In his early years in Vienna, Hitler had several friendships with men. In 1908, lived 20 years old Hitler for four months in one room together with August Kubizek. They dressed alike. "We were held to be brothers, what we wanted," Kubizek wrote later.

In the following three years he lived with the peers Rudolf Häusler. They called each other "Adi" and "Rudi".

One of the strongest circumstantial evidence on Hitler gays orientation stems from his time in the trenches in France during WWI. This wrote the war department officers Hans Mend in a report that went to the German resistance movement in 1939:

"Hitler slept with" Schmidl, "which was his male whore. We heard rustling in the hay. When another soldier lit his flashlight and exclaimed:" Look at them, the gays brothers".

Professor Machtan further suggests that Hitler had a homosexual relationship with two of its drivers and to his deputy Rudolf Hess, whom he called "my Rudi, my little Hesse". Even Hitler's friendship with armor minister Albert Speer "had signs of an erotic friendship between men".

At the same time when homosexuality was condemned, Hitler being on his way to the dictatorial power, he felt that he could become a victim of extortion. This was the background for the murder of Roehm, who from 1931 was the General Chief of Staff in SA. Roehm never let deny that he was gay.

After the slaughter of the SA men, Hitler sat for days and studied Rohm surviving documents and letters, which were then burned. At the same time Hitler began reaching a chase on gays.

According Machtan was Hitler's relationship with his young niece Geli Raubal and later to Eva Braun, diversions to hide his true sexual orientation. Geli Raubal took her own life, and Eva Braun failed with two suicide attempts. Machtan think that the women were driven to this by desperation, because they felt humiliated. Hitler petitioned them not as women.

In Nazi Germany, thousands of gays were forced to wear a pink triangle as a sign of their gays identity before they were executed in the major concentration camps.

And the truth was most likely, that this happened because their own head of state was afraid of being discovered and labeled as gay self - attack is the best defense.

In the 1950s, demanded several laws in many US cities, that people have to wear at least three pieces of clothing that matched with their own gender. The laws were used to legitimize police undercover methods, regular police raids and especially abuses against people on gays bars. They arrested anyone who could conceivably have committed a lewd act, forcing them to name others gays. Sodomy or homosexuality was now criminal in all 50 states in America until 1961.

YEAR 1966 - KIM FRIELE BEING ELECTED AS LEADER OF DNF 48

Kim Friele or Karen-Christine Friele, who she really was called, was one of the greatest advocates for gay rights in Norway. Perhaps because women were not covered by the legislation and considered dangerous, she had the freedom to say and do as she wanted.

In Oslo, Friele became a part of, the once very closed gay organization The Norwegian Federation of 1948. She was the leader in the period from 1966 to 1971, and appointed as general secretary until 1989. Frieles work was instrumental to the new Penal Code § 213, which criminalized homosexual acts between men, to be repealed in 1972, that "homosexuality" was deleted as psychiatric diagnosis in 1978, and that Norway in 1981, expanded the criminal Code sections against racism (§§ 135a and 349a) to include discrimination in connection with sexual orientation as well.

Stonewall Riots, also referred to as the Stonewall Rebellion or Stonewall Revolts, was a whole series of spontaneous and violent demonstrations by members of the gays community. The reason was a police action that took place in the early morning hours June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, located in Greenwich Village in Manhattan, New York City.

George Weinberg (born 1935) is a Jewish psychotherapist with a doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. He coined the word "homophobia" in 1972 and deepened the phenomenon in his book "Society and the Healthy Homosexual" by suggesting that those who have prejudices against gays and not being gays themselves, are suffering from a mental illness and an irrational state of mind. Weinberg began to use the word already in 1966 and soon the young gays movements began using it.

Although Weinberg is heterosexual himself, he became leader of the successful fight to get homosexuality removed as a diagnostic category, basis of the professional therapeutic instruction and textbooks. Weinberg often asked questions about the relevance of the psychological experiments. He notes the absence between psychological research and what actually works during therapy. He has been an absolutely key figure in the fight to change the public perception of homosexuality.

Weinberg’s big break through, was when another Jewish friend, Al Goldstein, began publishing the facts in the illegal underground newspaper "Gay and Screw" to introduce it as the word of mouth and in popular culture. He even wrote articles for the underground press itself. He also persuaded a young student, Ken Smith, to make a research on homophobia for their degree. They developed questionnaires together. It was the first published scientific study of homophobia.

Since male homosexuality was illegal in Norway until 1972 and socially unaccepted even further, have many men living as gays today, previously been married to the opposite sex. The law did not apply to women, because one could not see how they could be gays, since they could not penetrate each other. Maybe lack of fantasy by the legislators?

In some Norwegian environments, with strong religious guidelines or with roots in other cultures, there is still so little acceptance of homosexuality that many marry someone of the opposite sex and trying desperately to live like heterosexual.

It is very much research on children in gays families around the world, and no research suggests that these children have it better or worse than other children, either at home, in school or out.

Restaurant Metropol was situated in Akersgata 8, and was owned by the Norwegian Federation of 1948. Officially opening was 6th July 1974, and kept it going until 1989.

Kathy Kozachenko was the first openly gays person who has been elected to a public office in the United States. In 1974 she was elected as Human Rights Party's candidate for the City Council of Ann Arbor (city council) in Michigan.

International Lesbian and Gay Association is founded in 1978 and currently consists of more than 600 groups represented in around 110 countries, working actively with the UN and governments worldwide.

• Skeiv Verden - Queer World

The first official march in Washington, October 14, 1979, drew between 75,000 to 125,000 gays men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender. People gathered to demand equal civil rights and not least legislation that protected all citizens.

Summer of 1977, 51-year-old, and new elected as a permanent member of the parliament from Oslo Right Party, Wenche Lowzow met her great love: Gays activist and Secretary General of DNF-48, Kim Friele.

Two years later, the prominent Right Party politician shocked many in political circles by declaring that she was a lesbian. It was remarkably quiet. Marginalization and isolation were the consequence, and after two periods in Parliament she was not re nominated by Oslo Right next general election in 1985. She was the first government representative who was openly gay.

Together with her life partner Kim (Karen-Christine) Friele, Wenche Lowzow was invited to a hearing in the US Congress 1982. To get an entry permit to the United States, they had to get an exemption from the visa provisions, since homosexuality at the time was classified as a dangerous contagious disease of the US government. The residence permit was also limited to Washington D.C only. In America, both went out strongly against these hypocritical rules of immigration laws and contributed thus strongly that the law was changed in 1988.

Kim Friele and Wenche Lowzow won the parade price during The Gays Days in 2010. Both Kim and Wenche filling year on the same day, 27 May. Wenche was 89 years.

Since 1979, London pub has been the most visited gays place in Norway. The most gays, lesbians, bisexuals and curious people, know London pub, and have almost certainly been through.

London Pub writes:

What makes us so proud of London's environment, is the totally unique atmosphere. Here, everybody can be themselves and be accepted for it ...

We have become accustomed to act as the gays own venue ...

Great Garlic Girls is a Norwegian drag queen or revue group. Since 1981 they have performed with a large number of drag shows; that is performances in which men dressed as women are performing costumes-, dance- and music shows.

The group was started by Olav Klingen, Simen Sand and Morten Rudå. The premiere was on Pilen Restaurant on 1 June 1981. The group delivered Norway's Montreux contributions in 1987.

The group has run show in a great number of countries, and has of course also been on an America tours. Some of the team members are today replaced.

YEAR 1981 - HIV AND AIDS DETECTED

AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is a disease - or a complex of diseases - caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which was first recorded in San Francisco in 1981.

Occurrence - In Norway demonstrated that approximately 200-250 new gets HIV annually, and in 2012 there were 242 cases. Overall the 155 infected heterosexually, and 109 of these were infected abroad. In 2012, the sex ratio 166 men (69%) and 76 women.

Overall it's until the end of 2012 identified 5138 HIV-positive in Norway, 3460 males and 1678 females. More than half of all cases infected heterosexually. About 30% are infected through sexual contact between men and approximately 15% are infected through intravenous drug use. Per 2014 displays measurements for a total of 5567 HIV-infected people in Norway, distributed in 3761 males and 1806 females.

The event was established as a gay pride festival organized by LLH Oslo and Akershus in 1982, under the name "Gays Days", and later under the name "Gay Pride", until it changed its name to "Oslo Pride" in 2014.

Oslo Pride is an annual festival and cultural event for LGBTI (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and intersex)-people, and is the largest Pride festival in Norway. Among the events is a film festival, concerts, art exhibits, shows, political debates and a festival area. The stated purpose of the festival is; "to show gay culture, and in this way to contribute to increased acceptance and respect for this part of the capital's inhabitants."

Oslo Pride 2016 lasted ten days. Festival Area Eidsvolls Plass (Spikersuppa). Oslo has hosted the Euro Pride twice, 2005 and 2014.

Nordic Council consisting of Denmark, Finland, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Aland adopts a membership proposal "through legislation promoting gay equality and protection against discrimination."

Proponent of the proposal is Norway.

• In 1989 conducted Denmark an amendment that allowed partnership between two of the same sex as the first country in the world in recent times. Finally, we are back to the way it was before Christianity.

The very first gay couple joined in a legal civil union

Scandinavian activists set the stage for a ruling that would change the world. An event unlike any before in recent history took place at the Copenhagen town hall in Denmark. That Sunday, a national law went into effect that allowed same-sex couples to be joined in a civil union, and eleven gay male couples did just that — a school psychologist, a Lutheran minister and a high school teacher among them. One of On October 1, 1989, two decades before marriage equality took off in the States, a pair of dogged the grooms, Eigil Axgil (né Eigil Eskildsen), then sixty-seven years old, told Rex Wockner, an American journalist who was there covering it, “We just never could have dreamed that we would get this far.”

• In 1993, Norway became the second country in the world to have such a law Registered Partnership or the Partnership Act, which formalized cohabitation of people of the same gender.

The Film Festival "Queer Movies" has since 1990 been an important contributor to Oslo's cultural life. In addition to being Norway's only film festival of its kind, it is also among the oldest.

On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, it changed its name to Oslo/Fusion International Film Festival.

BLIKK is a Norwegian "monthly newspaper for gays, lesbians and bisexuals." It was established by Arne Walderhaug in 1990, published today by the publisher BLIKK AS.

The magazine can be bought over the counter in shops and newsstands, and you can subscribe and have it sent to wherever you want.

The Norwegian Federation of 1948 had previously published a newspaper called Fritt Fram, but it was closed down in the late 1980s because it made losses.

MPs Kjell Magne Bondevik and Solveig Sollie (even having a gay son) from Christian Democratic Party proposes that the Partnership Act is repealed. The proposal received only 24 votes. In addition to Christian Democrat parliamentary group, voted some simple representatives of Senterpartiet, Conservatives and Fremskrittspartiet for the proposal.

The Law of Partnerships was here to stay, and as the very first parliamentarian in the world, Anders Hornslien entered partnership this year. Congtatulations!

Things happen faster than ever and the boundaries between sex, fashion and clothing style is becoming more and more blurred, which is for the benefit of those who do not fit the typical pattern that various religions and societies have added up to.

Now it is almost no one who neither looks strange in one way or thinking negative thoughts whether it is a boy or girl dressed in pink or white. Finally, we have come to the step that the individual can choose yourself.

It is only elderly people who remember what crossdressing are, and remember all the problems and prejudices associated with it. Now almost no one cares about if an idol or a star is heterosexual, bisexual, gay or transgender, or how they dress. The question is if he or she can act, sing or whatever.

Thanks to all who have stood on the barricades and not least all the celebrities who have chosen to dress as they please, and not at least have chosen to come forward with their orientation, others have been able to start living for them a normal life.

In fact, without knowing it, celebrities like Boy George, David Bowie, Elton John, Bret Michaels in Poison and a lot of others, have helped others to a much better life, dressing as they wish and not at least live the life they are born to live.

Yet there are some groups of young people who are better than others to come forward, to dress as they want and to show their true selves. One such group is those who call themselves EMO's.

The word EMO is an abbreviation for the word emotional, meaning sensitive. The term originated in the 1980s and has varied a little bit until today.

Just as those who listen to hip hop music, clings to his own style with caps, sagging, large training pants, etc., clusters also emoer themselves often in groups, having their own style, loving to listen to hardcore punk music, but with lots of emotions.

By almost all current definitions, emo clothing is characterized by black as in tight jeans on both boys and girls. In some cases, even black skirts are allowed. Hair is often brushed to one side of the face, dyed black or bright blonde. Some have stripes in all possible colours and both boys and girls use lots of makeup.

In addition, they often wear tight t-shirts with the names of a rock band, studded belts, belt buckles, Chuck Taylor All Stars, skate shoes, or other black shoes.

Determining the age and gender on an EMO may often be completely impossible, when one at the age of 25 often can be taken to be only 13 to 14 years.

Gaysir is a Norwegian site, having gays and bisexual men and women as their main target groups. The first version of Gaysir launched on 22 September 2000.

Now finally, advertising in newspapers and magazines, and the long waiting time to find a partner with the same orientation, had come to an end.

Gaysir was one of Norway's first social networking sites, and had about 70,000 unique visitors per week. The website is now owned and operated by Gaysir AS.

Gaysir was in 2006 awarded by the Honorary Award of Oslo LLH during the annual event Gay Pride in downtown Oslo. The reasoning was that the website had made a safe and inclusive network for gays and lesbians, and helped gays identity construction.

Per 2016 Gaysir have over 20,000 unique visitors each day. The age limit is 16 years.

MR GAY NORWAY - 2002

Mr. Gay Norway, next to Eurovision Song Contest, is perhaps the competition that engages gay-Norway most.

The man who has been the driving force from the very first competition in 2002, is actor Morten Rudå, popularly called Mr Gay General Himself. Not only has he arranged it all, he has also trained the participants to what they have to perform, and he has even directed the show as drag queen Miss Tootsie Knutsen.

Is Facebook, of the good or the evil for mankind? Mark Zuckerberg, the man who has taken the measure of themselves to become moral guardian worldwide, with good help of the world famous American Double Standards, and by using illegal hacking as a start. Is he the right person to run a world wide community like Facebook?

Let's start by looking at his hoodlums start to his now worldwide operations. On 28 October 2003 while he attended Harvard University, he made the program "Facemash", an application that compared images of two people, so that the user could select which of those were most attractive. To obtain images, Zuckerberg, hacked illegally into the protected areas of Harvard's network. The first four hours Facemash existed, there were 450 visitors stopped by, and showed a total of 22,000 illegal images. Due to the fact that he had used illegal methods to extract and use images, Facemash were closed down pretty fast. Of course, this gives him an extra good reason to look at himself as a morality guard.

In January 2004, began Zuckerberg on a new project, and February 4, 2004, he launched "Thefacebook". This first version was designed for students at Harvard, and within the first month was more than half of the students registered users. Zuckerberg got help from Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, Andrew McCollum and Chris Hughes to help to promote the page. In March 2004, opened Facebook to the universities Columbia, Stanford and Yale. In December the same year, he had one million active users. On 26 September 2006, opened the Facebook registration for all over 13 years with a valid email address.

No one knows how Facebook internal policies and systems works. Nobody at Facebook, not even Zuckerberg dare to stand up for an interview, or are willing to respond to inquiries - even not from the Norwegian Prime Minister, getting her  political posts erased. To outsiders and gay Facebook members, it may seem as though Facebook has taken over the Catholic Church's old slogan: When the money in the chest sounds, the soul from purgatory springs. Yes, it is obviously, when only you pay enough, you can spread both child pornography and pornography of sex with animals, as long as there are heterosexuals who act. Here are obviously money replaced against licenses to ulpoad whatever you want, but Zuckerberg knows what is best for you and me.

Now, when the big money started  flowing in, he no longer needed to use their brain to perform criminal acts. No, it was obviously more interesting to use his brain as a good homophobe, to persecute gays user of Facebook, delete their pictures and not at least to ban them  from Facebook by deactivating their accounts - even without any reason why they deactivate their accounts - but Zuckerberg is the boss!

When I see all the pornography with minors and animals, that comes up on my gays brother's Facebook, not to mention that the very same pops up with his friends’ gays, and some of it even on my Facebook, then you can really get jaw dropped by less. They get constantly invited to join the "closed or secret" Facebook groups where they can upload exactly what they want - and obviously with Facebook's blessing. There are certainly groups some pay dearly for, but since it is money that prevails, then it's certainly blessed by both Zuckerberg and Facebook. I am perhaps just a naive schoolboy of 16 years, but I realize that it is the American Double Standards that apply. I hope that no Norwegians with respect for themselves, would sink so low as Mark Zuckerberg and work for him, or treat their members as unserious as Facebook, and not least approve the way Facebook is acting on. Many in Norway would actually equate that with prostituting themselves for Zuckerberg and the American Double Standards.

The site has even been criticized by the Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg, Norwegian National Security Authority which is subject to Ministry of Defence, Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, and several former US Presidents: "Millions of people giving out personal information about themselves on Facebook. It increases the risk of attacks that ultimately can lead to loss of life or extensive damage to national security".

Others are also very critical of possible abuse of personal information in the community. The well-known Internet activist Julian Assange, claimed in 2012, that Facebook are sharing sensitive personal information with US intelligence services. He describes Facebook as the "most dangerous spy machine ever invented". No wonder it is easy to weed out and prosecute all those gays at Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg blesses the entire madness as the boss of Facebook, but it gives him enormous amounts of money - and that's what counts in the US!

YEAR 2011 - FOUND OF THE WORLD'S OLDEST GAYS MANN

• It is believed that archaeologists have found the remains of the world hitherto oldest gays man in a suburb of Prague in April 2011. The skeleton is said to date back to between 2900 and 2500 BC.
• Men would normally be buried lying on the right side and the face to the west. They were buried along with their weapons, flint knives, clubs, hammers, and not at least provisions and drink they should have with to the "other" side.
• Women were buried, lying on the left side with her face toward the east. They should be buried with necklaces, earrings and appliances as pitchers and bowls.
• This person is buried lying on the left side as a woman, but with his head toward the west like a man. He has no weapons, flint knives and clubs, but pitchers and bowls, and is buried by the same ritual and in the same way as a woman.

YEAR 2014 - NIGERIA GOES AGAINST THE INTERNATIONAL FLOW

January 2014, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan signing a law prohibiting gays to show affection, or to join the gays clubs in public spaces. Violation of the law is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For gays, he was "bad luck" Jonathan.

The Swedish sports minister boycotts the Olympic opening in Sochi in 2014.

A research team at the University of Tel Aviv, believes excavation near Tell el Hammeh at the West Bank of Jordan, may be the remains of Sodom and Gomorrah, allegedly destroyed by the wrath of God because of the population's "wickedness and obscure practices".

Hence the term sodomy, sexual intercourse between man and beast, unfortunately often confused with homosexuality - which is completely wrong. They hope that the discovery of the two 5000 years old male skeletons, as well as new discoveries, could prove that Sodom and Gomorrah actually existed.

Thanks to US President Barack Obama, the first black and perhaps the best and most compassionate president ever, the US finally has begun to follow in other civilized nations footsteps when it comes to homosexuality and human rights.

Reason: President Obama, in a historic first for the Pentagon, has chosen to nominate Eric Fanning to lead the Army, a move that would make him the first openly gay civilian secretary of one of the military services.

Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Queen Elizabeth's cousin, and Queen Victoria's descendant, has made royal history by coming out of the closet as gay. He told about his relationship with James Coyle, and the happiness he had found the last year, to the newspaper the Mail on Sunday: "I'm much happier now but I'm still not quite familiar with being an official gay".

It being a Mountbatten was never the problem, he told the newspaper, but it was the generation I was born in that has been the problem. When I was growing up, was homosexuality known as "the love one did not even dare to mention".
