"Gay culture flourishes in Helsinki"
Full story at
http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Gay...n+Helsinki/107 6153462946 Gay culture flourishes in Helsinki Finnish capital said to have most vibrant gay scene in Nordic region Although Finnish culture has not been traditionally seen as the most tolerant in the world, a thriving gay scene has developed in Helsinki in recent years. The city already has eight restaurants with a predominantly gay clientele, as well as one gay sauna. "Gay culture here is alive, and there are many things going on. Helsinki is definitely number one, and a forerunner in the Nordic Countries. The next places worth going to are Amsterdam and London", says Riitta Suominen, head of the DTM restaurant. DTM is the largest gay club in the Nordic Countries, with two separate night clubs and a gay cafe. "Take the seven-day Pride event, for instance; nothing like that is even arranged for heterosexuals! Then we had 1,000 people in the restaurant every evening." [I find the suggestion of intolerance at the opening a little odd. I'd never thought of it as a particularly _intolerant_ country. Maybe there are more MarKKKu's there than I thought.] -- (*) ... of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net (don't email yahoo address) usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

Make credence recognised that on Tue, 10 Apr 2007 21:15:07 +0100,

One doesn't thing that AIDS is predominantly a gay men's problem presumably. The NHS seems to think it is gay men and African communities who are most at risk of HIV, according to the BBC London local news this evening. In the UK, presumably. The worldwide statistics speak painfully and clearly for themselves. DFM's claim that "it's by and large a disease that affects homosexual men, plus hard drugs users, but that's well known" is so off the mark, it would be laughable, if it wasn't such a sad and serious subject. Days later, this is still sitting with you? My my, what a serious subject it is when you decide to have a hissy fit. Oddly, no one else argues that point, but you consider it "laughable". Been for a check wassup lately? -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |
