Glitter and coloring, Fantorangen visit and Dragshow. This is something that children can participate in during the new children’s event Mini pride arranged by Oslo pride. On Friday, KrF leader Olaug Bollestad visited the political quarter. She is skeptical of “exposing” children to pride. Do not want to “impose attitudes on children” – I am incredibly concerned that we should talk to the kids on the kids’ terms, because kids can have many different feelings and thoughts in relation to gender. Therefore, we should meet kids on their terms, says Bollestad.

I want to do things on the children’s terms and their level of maturity. And addressing kids with adult challenges I think is problematic, Bollestad answers news. – What are you afraid of that the kids may be exposed to? – I believe that they must be allowed to go that way without us imposing on them our attitudes and our opinions, Bollestad answers. Like KrF’s Kjell Ingolf Ropstad, Bollestad will not go to the pride parade this year. DISAGREE: KrF’s Kjell Inge Ropstad believes Pride should not address children, and says the Pride celebration is political. Photo: Terje Bendiksby / NTB Ropstad has previously stated that it is criticisable to have children in pride, and that the parade should not be aimed at children. – Difficult to support The reaction came after it became known that the Oslo school will have its own flag during the pride parade in Oslo on 25 June. He thinks the pride mark is political. Photo: Silvia De Giorgi / Oslo Pride – On the one hand, it is a sign that people are just as valuable and that no one should be harassed for who they are, which it is not difficult to support. But it is also a political mark from an organization that raises many issues that I and KrF strongly disagree with, such as opening up to surrogacy and making it legal to buy sex, he says. Believes it is about ignorance Oslo pride leader Inger Kristin Haugsevje distances herself from Ropstad’s claims that the marking is political. – It testifies that one has not sat down well enough in the case. It is true that Oslo Pride is a political arena, but we are not a political organization. Pride is not an ideology either. And my experience is that those who say it themselves have a political agenda, says Haugsevje. INVITES: Oslo pride leader Inger Kristin Haugsevje says the pride celebration is not as bad as Bollestad and Ropstad should have it. Photo: news – I think it’s a bit about ignorance. Pride is very important for children as well. Precisely because it is important for children to see the diversity that exists of different queer families. Then it is important that we also create an arena that is adapted for children, says Haugsevje to news. Invites the KrF tops to the pride celebration – What do you think about Bollestad and Ropstad choosing not to participate in the celebration? – It is each individual’s personal choice which political markings they want to participate in. But of course I want to invite both Bollestad and Ropstad to Mini pride, the nice family and child-friendly arena that we have created. And come and see that this is not how they probably imagine, says Haugsevje.
