the Criticism against the government is so absurd that I cannot take it seriously. It is obvious that the opposition do not care to read regjeringsplattformen, “says Helge Ytterøy L’orange (H) to Dagbladet.
He is the leader homonettverket in the Right. Together with Grunde Almeland (V), from the Liberal homonettverk, he is asking critics and concerned sexual minorities read the statement.
– Queer can be insecure when they meet with a wall of incorrect claims about what this government want. Therefore, we want to be clear on that regjeringsplattformen supports skeives rights. It says that a regnbuefamilie is just as much worth as a A4-family, ” says Grunde Almeland.
And so, we have in addition received an equality minister who is quite hyperactive in this area. The fight for gay rights will continue with this government, “says Ytterøy L’orange.
– That gender equality could not be subject to Ropstad – it provokes’t you?
– the Structure of the government don’t care as very. Such changes can be made. It is the policies coming out of government that means something, the answer D’orange.
NEW equality minister: Trine Skei Grande takes over the job of equality minister, even if Ropstad takes over the ministry, which previously had that responsibility. Even with the controversial statements about tvillingabort believe still Skei Grande that Ropstad could have had the job. Show more Homophobia
Almeland shows that Norway is in third place on the Rainbow-ranking in Europe, far ahead of our nordic neighbours. At the same time showed surveys in 2013 that one out of six norwegians would move if they knew they were sitting next to a gay on the bus.
On the South coast the percentage was one of the three.
– the Platform provides an excellent basis for anything to do with these attitudes. Not one place will appear to the “man and woman” – it is the term “family” used. It says black on white that the government should ensure LHBTIQ-people’s rights, contribute to the openness, actively opposing discrimination, ” says Almeland.
Hoderystende criticism
It has not lacked critics of the government’s likestillingsprofil after likestillingsansvaret was moved to the Ministry of culture and familieminister Ropstad (KrF) said he would never go in the Pride parade.
the Longest went Anette Trettebergstuen (Ap) in an interview with the Newspaper. She responds in particular that the government give the Sector a veto in all questions about biotechnology and fertilization.
– The new government is in derogation of the right of women to decide over their own body. Gender equality is put in reverse, said Trettebergstuen.
Best. Platform. Ever
Ytterøy L’orange and Almeland start a family.
You just have to shake her head of what she says. Nothing is set in reverse. In the field of biotechnology is the current legal landscape, in other areas, the government is a liberaliserende power, ” says L’orange.
– Erna Solberg must feel hurt now that you two whip out to defend the government?
– No one has sent us. We have zero legitimacy among the in our own networks if we sat here and advocated the standpoint of the majority is not shared, ” says Grunde Almeland.
So the message is: Everything is tip-top, gender equality is progressing, and zero reason for concern?
Norway has never had a regjeringsplattform that provide a better breeding ground for proactive gender policies. Are we in the objectives? Of course not. The left has among other things pointed out that we must have in place a national koordineringsenhet in the police for hatkriminalitetssaker. Because the queer who experience violence and threats deserve to be taken seriously and get the help they deserve. We will always want more, for the future’s sake, but it is evenly over a large agreement between the parties in these cases. It is useriøst of the opposition to create a chasm between the parties in the likestillingssaker and skeives rights, responding Almeland.
– At times completely inhuman in defence of Ropstad
The two politicians say they don’t have any problems with that Ropstad, the country’s familieminister, stands over the Pride parade forever.
I think this should go in Pride, but everyone is at their full right to stand over. It is something one must feel even, says Almeland.
– Also familieministre?
– Yes. But I’m very happy for that Sector for the first time have announced that they will go in Pride in years.
– Signaleffekten of that Ropstad do not want to go in Pride, it is not important for homonettverket in the Right and Left?
The most important thing is the politics. Ropstad has been very clear that he will be a familieminister for all, and he was KrFU-leader who was gay in the heat of the KrFU, reply, Helge Ytterøy L’orange.
– Are you on the line with gay most now, do you think?
I think most will agree with us that politics is most importantly, the answer D’orange.
