At the main Police station in Oslo today on the 14th of June 2019, when Oslo Pride in Norway begins, the Norwegian police authorities had called in to a big press conference. All the flags that was hoisted at the main police station in Oslo, The capitol of Norway today, was waving in the Rainbow colours.

In a statement to the public I read yesterday, the police in Norway had this to say to the people;
The police apologize for gay and harassment against gays. The Police acknowledges that mistakes have been made against gays throughout history. In a press release, they apologize for injustice and harassment, and for having created fear.
“The police have since the end of April this year planned a gathering for police officers, police students and invited guests, where we want to apologize to gay people for the injustice and harassment many were subjected to and for the fear police were creating and building. up below,” – the police writes in a press release Wednesday.”
I have just finished watching the whole press conference twice with Kim Friele because it was very good and learning. I hope someone can get his speech and put on subtitles for other languages to hear his words. Currently it is just in Norwegian.
I am so glad that the Norwegian police came and said sorry to the LGTBQ people,, and in the grand way they did. It was not a day too late ??..
But.. I always have a but..
I hope it also sends a signal that there are other that also own these people an apology.
I would like to ask the Church and the health care system too, to also apologize to the treatment you have given these people for hundreds of years. As long as there was people on this planet there have been people who are LGTB or Questioning things.
The state and government and those who made the laws, and have been judge&jury have also convicted these people to horrible destinies for thousands of years. People have been thrown out on the street and been called the “weird, dangerous and mental” ones by the people. Many have had to live and feed of the street and been told they are insane and a sin and shame for the world. Artists, painters, poets, writers and actors and intelligent people have ended their lives in horrible ways for hundreds and thousands of years and told they where sick and mentally disturbed, that homosexuality was perverse and a disease you could catch. People have been medicated, lobotomized and been experimental animals to priests, doctors and psychologists who said they were ill but thought it could be healed..
Some people are just born this ways, that is the way life is. And we can love who ever we want no matter what gender they have, or who we want to be. The most important thing to do is, to be kind to people and not judge. No one is going to tell me I am sick and disturbed if I want to be in love with man or a lady. I am my own person with my own heart and feelings. Nothing has ever caused so much pain as religion and the church has. And they own LGTBQ people an apology too. And a acceptance, that to love is a human right no one can take from you.
I want to wish everyone a Happy Oslo Pride #HotSpotToGoNOW
