But it is not just the danes at home in the living rooms, there are outraged Sigmund opinions. The video has now also been the people behind the Danish Rainbow Awards to respond.

– the Board behind the Danish Rainbow Awards has chosen not to nominate Sigmund, and at the same time, it has been determined that he should not appear at the Rainbow Awards anyway, which otherwise was the agreement, ” says Niels Holm, who is press officer for the Danish Rainbow Awards, for the Extra Magazine.

– the Rainbow Awards must be a place where all are welcome, and where no expression of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or speak negatively about the beliefs of others. Therefore, we have chosen to respond to the opinions, says Niels Holm.

the Extra Leaf has been in contact with Sigmund, who did not want to comment on the matter at the present time.

‘I deleted the story pretty quickly after having laid it up, because I could hear that I went way over the line, and it sounded very wrong, but unfortunately, it goes very heavily on the social media, and now that I have been exhibited in the press as a person, I can not know in myself, it is heart breaking’, says Sigmund, before he rounds his reply of: the

‘I have a great many friends from all over the world, which I respect and appreciate, and I have as a person with no intentions to offend other people! I have now learned it the hard way, and I will feel much better about in the future. I still stand up for diversity and fighting on to be a role model in the LGBT community, and I hope that people will continue to focus on the positive things I do, and as the person I am and not just judge me in a wrong and bad opinion. We learn from our mistakes, and I can do nothing more now than to say ‘sorry’.

Although Sigmund Trondheim according to Niels Holm also has come with an apology to the people behind the awarden, is the decision to take him out of the program for the Danish Rainbow Awards still in force.
