(Solvang & Høie) |
Norway’s Minister of Health and Care Services, Bent Høie, has decided to comment on the Russian propaganda laws by taking his husband, advertising exec Dag Terje Solvang, to Sochi...“It’s natural to take Dag Terje along when attending this type of event,” Minister Høie told reporters. “Having said that, everyone understands what two married men think about gay rights...” I cannot wait to watch and support all the Norwegian athletes.” Minister Høie said. “These are athletes with disabilities who perform at a very high level.”Minister Høie and his husband Dag Terje Solvang, plan to arrive in Sochi today, expecting to be received like any other foreign minister and his spouse would be.
Minister Høie has been a longtime Paralympics Games supporter and enthusiast.
Given the broad scope of Russia's new anti-"gay propaganda" laws, it should be interesting to see how Russian authorities respond to a government representative from another country who comes to their country with his husband.
