Christians protest gay pride parade in Norway

Oslo had a gay pride parade today, since it's pride week in the capital.

Unfortunately some Christians had to come and ruin it. They had banners saying "marriage is only between a man and a woman" and that "gay people are sick" etc.

Norway legalized gay marriage last year, but this country is still VERY conservative. The Christians still have a hold on this country and it's still tough to be gay here. We have gay marriage, but the general attitudes in the country hasn't changed much.. Only slightly more than half, or 52 %, of Norwegians support gay marriage. To compare, 70 % of the Argentine people support gay marriage.

If I had to choose I would pick no gay marriage and instead open minded people. Gay marriage doesn't mean much when we are still being seen as freaks by the general society. It's sad.

Sorry about my rant.. You can watch pics from the event here, and the idiots who protested:
