Former GORGOROTH Frontman Named 'Homosexual Of The Year' - Feb. 4, 2010
Last week the annual Bergen Gay Galla was held, and various awards were presented to persons and institutions that have contributed to the gay community in Bergen, Norway.

The most prestigious award was given to Kristian Espedal (a.k.a. Gaahl). The former GORGOROTH vocalist was named "Homosexual Of The Year" and accepted the award in person.

"I don't need an award to be myself. But if this can help other people in the same scene as me, it's a positive thing," Gaahl told local newspaper Bergensavisen.

Gaahl, 34, is involved in a relationship with 19-year-old Robin Jakobsen (pictured below with Gaahl).

When asked how he met his current partner, Gaahl said, "It was after closing time. I was at Fincken (gay bar in Bergen). Robin came to the club to look for his former boyfriend. I was buzzed on white wine, and suddenly I saw a glowing figure in the door. That was Robin. I thought to myself that he must be mine."

Was it love at first sight?

"No…I had to work a little for it."

Were people surprised when you came out as a homosexual?

"I think it's strange that it wasn't known before, but I never had a need to go public with it. Finally a German journalist had the guts to ask the question, and I answered him. It wasn't any more painful than that."

not that it is 2010, and people think this is no big deal, nor that his 'partner' looks like an under aged girl. No, the hi-lar-ious thing here is how he is associated with Black Metal. 'Evil, merciless, anti-christian, brutal, hard, cold, devoid of compassion, bleak'.....and turns out he is gay (both literally and per old school definition).

Now when I think of 'wicked' Black Metal....I will try to not imagine that they are all pole huffers like Gaahl.

Gee, you think people choose to be gay? Choosing to be considered a second class citizen who is ridiculed, discriminated against, and at higher risk to be the target of a hate crime sounds like a choice that a lot of people would definitely be willing to make. Since you can 'choose' to be attracted to people of the same gender, why don't some of you homophobes choose to be attracted to giraffes. Is it working? Do you feel the overwhelming desire to fuck a giraffe yet?

Also, the difference between homosexuality and pedophilia is that homosexual actions occur between 2 consenting adults. Pedophilia is an adult who, knowingly or not, takes advantage of a child who is too young to fully understand what is happening and how to stop it.

Being metal is about not being afraid to go against the flow, and being who you are. If this guy likes men and black metal, that's his decision, and it's not my place to question his preferences.

I believe homosexuals are born that way. But your argument about choosing to be 2nd class citizens doesn't fly. Think about the rockers and punks who chose to be the opposite of 'normal' society. They chose to be thought of as 2nd class, freaks, losers and druggies etc. They enjoy the shock value.

Gay men have the highest risk of HIV infection. Thats a fact. For you to lie about it in the name of political correctness isn't doing anyone any favors.

Buy a dictionary. They are not the same thing. You are a bigot, I'm a bigot & so is every other person on the planet unless they have some sort of mental block that keeps them from rational thought.


"People that hate gay people probably think of themselves as good people... They are not. They are inf fact part of the problem"

Neither are the gate keepers of political correctness. You people are the book burners of our day.

If someone has a beef with something, it might do you some good to listen to them instead of spouting of PC buzz words that you're programmed to spout like some sort of Elton John action figure.

Maybe you'll learn something, maybe not. But your cries of "shutup you a big bad meanie" do nothing but stoke resentment in people.

"Young men who have sex with men (MSM), especially those of minority races or ethnicities, were at high risk for HIV infection. In the 7 cities that participated in CDC’s Young Men’s Survey during 1994–1998, 14% of African American MSM and 7% of Hispanic MSM aged 15–22 were infected with HIV [3]."

AIDS was first reported June 5, 1981, when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recorded a cluster of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (now still classified as PCP but known to be caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii) in five homosexual men in Los Angeles. In the beginning, the CDC did not have an official name for the disease, often referring to it by way of the diseases that were associated with it, for example, lymphadenopathy, the disease after which the discoverers of HIV originally named the virus. They also used Kaposi's Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections, the name by which a task force had been set up in 1981.

In the general press, the term GRID, which stood for Gay-related immune deficiency, had been coined. The CDC, in search of a name, and looking at the infected communities coined “the 4H disease,” as it seemed to single out Haitians, homosexuals, hemophiliacs, and heroin users. However, after determining that AIDS was not isolated to the homosexual community, the term GRID became misleading and AIDS was introduced at a meeting in July 1982.

--------------------------


In the United States, young African-American women are also at unusually high risk for HIV infection. This is due in part to a lack of information about AIDS and a perception that they are not vulnerable, as well as to limited access to health-care resources and a higher likelihood of sexual contact with at-risk male sexual partners.

"There are also geographic disparities in AIDS prevalence in the United States, where it is most common in rural areas and in the southern states, particularly in the Appalachian and Mississippi Delta regions and along the border with Mexico. Approximately 1.1 million persons are living with HIV/AIDS in the United States, and more than 56,000 new infections occur every single year."

Next time you insult someone, offer some facts. Hiding behind insults is the most ignorant thing anyone can do.

History of HIV/AIDS
Main article: Origin of AIDS
[edit] HIV was introduced to North America by a Canadian flight attendant

A Canadian airline steward named Gaëtan Dugas was referred to as "Patient 0" in an early AIDS study by Dr. William Darrow of the Centers for Disease Control. Many people consider Dugas to be responsible for bringing HIV to North America. This is considered inaccurate, as HIV had spread long before Dugas began his career. This rumor may have started with Randy Shilts' 1987 book And the Band Played On (and the movie based on it, in which Dugas is referred to as AIDS' Patient Zero), but neither the book nor the movie state him to have been the first to bring the virus to North America. He was called "Patient Zero" because at least 40 of the 248 people known to be infected by AIDS in 1983 had had sexual intercourse with him, or with someone who had sexual intercourse with him.

However, four years after the publication of Shilts' book, Dr. Darrow repudiated his study, saying that its methods were flawed and claiming that Shilts had misrepresented its conclusions.[citation needed]

The current consensus is that HIV was introduced to North America by a Haitian immigrant who contracted it while working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the early 1960s, or from another person who worked there during that time.[

The fact that it was first "found" on four homosexuals in LA, triggered the idea that it was a gay disease. Its hard to erase that from people's minds. Specially from people that are close minded like you.




And then, the proof of why you are an ignorant lamb:

"...he's not saying it is ONLY found in queers you idiot. he is saying HIGHER RISK..."

And then I wrote:

"In the United States, young African-American women are also at unusually high risk for HIV infection..."

And you say:

"...this says nothing other than african women have intercourse with african men who have aids you dumbass..."



Dumbass, what that said is... HIGHER RISK. Like you. In capitals.

I like to meet some of you idiots face to face and see exactly what you would have to say! I love Gorgoroth, but not the Gaahl-era, but I have respect for him, because it makes it easier for other gay metalheads to come out. It's just really hard to believe that 2010 people can still be so fucking ignorant!

Gaahl is an Iconoclast, a destroyer of stereotypes. I could care less what others opinions of him are, he has produced some of the best black metal of the past decade with Gorgoroth. He is one of the top Black Metal vocalists today, I respect him for his views and for being himself.

I hope he returns to the Black Metal scene soon.

Nobody is claiming that HIV/AIDS is just a gay or drug addiction disease. We all know that millions of heterosexuals have the disease. The African epidemic is mostly heterosexual due to the men having sex with unhealthy prostitutes and multiple women including rape.

People have contracted AIDS in many ways and it was spread in hundreds of ways. There is also no denying that it's prominent in homosexual males, promiscuous individuals (like men) and the use of unsterilized syringes during certain types of drug abuse (heroin). To ignore that so it can fall in line with some sort of ideology is to stick your head in the sand.

How many times do we have to hear someone died of AIDS and we find out they were either a gay man or a drug addict using heroin? To ignore it is to ignore the problem.

It's not about bashing a certain group of people. It's to use science and statistics. Some people don't like what stats tell them. So they attempt to change science to fit their ideology. That's really !@#$ed up!!!

Props to Haahl for coming out fully knowing he'd have to endure the kind of nonsense some of you have posted.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists states:
“ Despite almost a century of psychoanalytic and psychological speculation, there is no substantive evidence to support the suggestion that the nature of parenting or early childhood experiences play any role in the formation of a person’s fundamental heterosexual or homosexual orientation. It would appear that sexual orientation is biological in nature, determined by a complex interplay of genetic factors and the early uterine environment. Sexual orientation is therefore not a choice.[33]











Suck it.

Being homosexual is only considered wrong from a certain moral point of view. From those who are close minded, specifically. Look at the mirror and you will find one of those individuals.

Psychology is not a science. Even in that silly quote you posted you will see the words "would appear" lol. why did they not say "it's absolute fact"? you know why they didn't say that? because it's not a fact.

Homosexuality was on the list of sexual perversions until thet '70s when it was removed by the APA. Now what amazing discovery did they find that led them to believe that homosexuality was any different than any other sexual perversion?

ANSWER: there was none

The psychiatric/psychological community in general is a joke. Ever watch Court TV and you can see both the plaintiff and defendent call a different psychiatrist to the stand and they will say completely opposite things? It's because psychology is not science and not based on fact. Particularly nowadays when political correctness is running rampant.

You can continue to throw out your buzz words like "close-minded", but the FACT is that mother nature has made 2 different sexes, and given us a sex drive because we are SUPPOSED to be attracted to the opposite sex and mate with them so our species does not die out.

If you have no attraction to the opposite sex then there is something WRONG with you. That is a FACT.

Nature considers it wrong. An island of gay people is an island that will die within a generation.

...but I do believe some people are born gay. Its a birth defect...like autism or having 6 toes.

I understand it exists, I understand many people are born that way (other are just fucked in the head) but you should understand that everyone doesn't want to embrace it as a lifestyle.

Tolerance is disapproving of something but not trying to stop those from doing it.

People like Basajaun want to scream at & demonize anyone who doesn't think like them or the politically correct robots they aspire to be.

People like Basajaun are the Brown Shirts of our time.

The only thing all these posts here prove is that some people have no problem spending way too much time thinking, and arguing, about complete stranger's sex lives.

I only care about two people's sex lives. Mine and my wife's.

How's this for irony? Think about all the sex that was actually happening during that time spent arguing about it on this thread.

This is quite funny, specially because if you take a look to the photo you instantly think that this must be a joke. This book seems to be very gay haha. Anyway this is not important, who cares if Gaahl likes boys, girls or animals? only a pathetic homophobic thinks that this is relevant. Unfortunately black metal scene is full of these people who gives more importance to the sexual orientation than the music skills, fuck them!

Good for him. There is nothing that will offend fundamentalist Christians more than an openly gay Satanist. I respect anyone with the strength of character to be true to their nature even in the face of (undeserved) scorn. It never bothered me about Rob Halford or Clive Barker being gay, and this one doesn't either.
