LGBT News Man pushed out of the Salvation Army because he's gay

Here is the article: Artister trekker seg i protest fra Frelsesarmé-konsert - VG Nett (sorry, in Norwegian, but you can use Google Translate)

OK.. so this has been a HUGE story here in Norway over the past few days. A man was an unpaid secretary for the Salvation Army. However, when they got the news that he was gay and living with another man, he was pushed out. They didn't want him as a secretary anymore.

This caused a HUGE outrage among the Norwegian population. Many people do NOT like the fact that this man was discriminated for being gay. Norway's biggest football team refused to give them money this year, they gave directly to a charity instead. Also.. the Salvation Army is supposed to have a concert with many known artists to collect money for the poor. Many of these artists have now BACKED out!

I nearly cry when I see all the MASSIVE support LGBT people have gotten in Norway. Especially since it's about gay people being discriminated against. It's an indication that Norwegians are changing too.. Norway has always been a Christian and Conservative nation. This makes me happy. Protests like this rarely ever happen in Norway, so the fact that so many people now stand up because a gay man was discriminated.. it makes me cry. It's beautiful! It's not even just gay people being outraged, it's straight people too!
