- Gays shouldn't write on gays

The editor of the Christian newspaper "Vårt land" ("Our country"), Helge Simonnes, says that "Gay journalists shouldn't write on gay issues, as they have a special interest in the issue," according to Norwegian gay magazine Blikk.

This surprising opinion was given at a meeting held during EuroPride in Oslo. Luckily, the other people in the panel disagreed: "Shouldn't I as a father of small children write about policies regarding kindergartens?" asked VG's Anders Giæver, "This is so stupid that I almost suspect you of not meaning what you're saying."

Helge Simonnes' view is especially strange as he is the editor of a newspaper where Christian journalists routinely write on Christian issues. However, a strict interpretation of his "rule" would have interesting consequences and create great job-opportunities for gays, as every issue having to do with straights would have to be covered by gay journalists...
