Nordic Wear Shows Blatant Homophobia

Qx.se, a Swedish LGBT News & Cruising website, today has the following report.
"The Swedish clothing chain Nordic Wear took a strong stance against LGBT people on Monday.
With a new campaign image on their Facebook page they showed how a family consisting of a mother, a father and two children protect themselves from a burst of rainbow colors with an umbrella. The subtitle reads: "Unfortunately, we do not sell umbrellas. But if we had, they would have worked like this!"
The reactions and the complaints about the campaign have been flooding in, and after one day Nordic Wear responded in the following way through their Facebook page: "Wow, what attention we received for our commitment to the nuclear family! Despite being reported almost 70 times for the image and several death threats we will of course not fold down for gay fascists, we believe in democracy and freedom."
Facebook has no plans to remove Nordic Wears picture. One of those who reported the picture for hate content received the following response: "We have examined the photo that you have reported for hate content or hateful symbols and have determined that it does not violate our community rules."
Nordic Wear was founded in 2013 and is a distributor of the German clothing brand Thor Steinar. Thor Steinar is primarily known for its association with right-wing movements in Germany."
---

When I checked an hour ago today the picture had, however, been removed with the following statement from the company: "As those of us who work at Nordic Wear have been receiving repeated death threats, we out of respect for our families choose  to take down the high-profile post. All threats and harassment against us will naturally be reported to the police."

No more pink dollars for Nordic Wear or Thor Steinar! If they don't like us, we should spare them the embarrassment of doing business with us.

Read more about the controversy surrounding Thor Steinar here: Wikipedia: Thor Steinar.

I would like to know in what way the LGBT-community poses a threat to the nuclear family.

Kim Ho - A Man to Reckon With

Eighteen year old Australian born actor and writer Kim Ho is certainly a man to keep your eyes on in the future. A young man who can write a story like this and perform it as compellingly, convincingly and breathtakingly is definitely someone to reckon with.



Read more about this project and how it came about here Kim Ho On The Language of Love.

My deepest gratitude goes to blogger Daskadasenibordet,  loosely translated "Slap-the-schlong-on-the-table" for bringing this to my attention on his blog at Qx.se.

For Your Viewing Pleasure

Anton´s own comment about this picture was "It´s just an ass. What´s the problem?"
My response would be "I see no problem at all, Anton, it´s a very cute ass indeed!"

While browsing for a picture to my previous post I came across these two pictures of the charming, the gorgeous and the hot-hot-hot, albeit too young for me, Anton Hysén. Enjoy!

The pictures are from a photo shoot for the Swedish gay magazine Qx.se.

If you wish to check out Anton´s own blog you can find it in my blogroll.

Anton Shakes His Ass

Anton Hysén and Sigrid Bernson dance together in Let's dance 2012
So our favorite young and out footballer Anton Hysén is in the Swedish version of the television show  "Dancing With The Stars", which in Sweden is called "Let´s Dance 2012". (SIC!!! The new name is soooo much more Swedish sounding that the need for this inscrutable meddlesomeness is fully warranted - NOT).

See Anton practicing his moves and shaking his cute ass in a very winning way at his website Anton Hysén; "Dancing With The Stars".

Unfortunately we have learned Anton will not be dancing with another man because, according to the British judge Tony Irving (gay as a three dollar bill himself) on Qx.se; "This Is Why Anton Isn´t Dancing With A Man", "firstly he did not ask for a male dance partner (... and if he had it would have caused problems...) because the rules of couples dancing are very heteronormative and it would have made it more difficult to judge."

This season sees the participation of among others Marcus Schenkenberg (male model) and Camilla Henemark (self-proclaimed ex-mistress of his majesty Carl XIV Gustaf, King of Sweden).

The show is broadcast on Friday evenings, 12 PM SLT, on Swedish TV 4 (my assistant - me, myself, I - was sloppy and failed to inform me about this in time).

UPDATE: I found a clip of last nights premier show which I hope you all can watch on TV 4 Play, Let´s Dance (only until April 6, 2012), Anton enters at 1:08:58 and is followed by the ex-mistress.

The Swedish Homo of 2012

Photo: Christian Hagward
Anton Hysén, the Swedish 20 y.o. professional soccer player who came out as gay in 2011, has been awarded the title "Swedish Homo of the Year" at a gala held by the Swedish gay news and cruising website Qx,se (url).

Anton was awarded the title after a vote among the 105.000+ members of the site and in competition with three lesbians and a gay blogger. The gay blogger is named Andreas and has a very popular blog on the Qx-site which is called  "Daskadasenibordet" (url)loosely translated "Slap-the-schlong-on-the-table".

The title "Swedish Hetero of the Year" was awarded to the American David Lazar, rabbi of the Jewish congregation in Stockholm. He competed in this category with Glenn Hysén, father of Anton and a Swedish soccer legend.
