    The only foreigners in my kids class are Palestinian. It’s otherwise all Norwegians. But you also have to bare in mind that it wasn’t uncommon for effeminate men to have it “beaten out of them” or lesbians to be raped to “correct their behaviour” until very recently. So it was in people’s best interests to keep it secret. I remember that even 20 years ago in the more left leaning cities in Britain people were getting put in the hospital for being gay/ trans.

      In the year 2005 they were involuntarily forcing gay people into hospitals in the UK?

      This is wildly inaccurate.

        No, put in the hospital as in getting beaten badly enough to warrant medical attention.
