This is according to Morten Kabell, who happens to be gay himself, of the Danish party \u2018the Red-Green Alliance\u2019 at the pre-election meeting held by BLUS (the student organisation for gay, lesbian and transsexuals in Copenhagen). <\/p>\n<p>Klaus Bondam was invited, along with the other parties, to Studenterhuset to discuss gay-related topics prior to the municipal elections 17 November.<\/p>\n<h2>Stop hate crime<\/h2>\n<p>One of the topics of discussion were attacks on homosexuals &#8211; hate crimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt is a big problem when the victims of 4 pct. of all attacks in Copenhagen believe that the attack takes place because of their sexuality,\u00ab said Iben Wiene Rathje of the Socialist People\u2019s Party (SF).<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe have told the police that this needs to be taken seriously,\u00ab said Jakob Hougaard of the Social Democrats (S), and was backed up by Pia Allerslev of the centre-right party Venstre (V), who added that, \u00bbserious action needs to be taken against the idiots who commit hate crimes.\u00ab<\/p>\n<h2>Gay and Muslim<\/h2>\n<p>The candidate from the Danish People\u2019s Party (DF), Carl Christian Ebbesen, thought that Muslims in particular cannot accept homosexuality. He wants to ban the construction of a Grand Mosque in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI\u2019ve yet to hear a Muslim of faith say that they accept homosexuals,\u00ab he said. He was quickly interrupted by a young man in the audience:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI am gay and I am Muslim,\u00ab he announced. <\/p>\n<p>This did not affect the DF candidate&#8217;s opinion.<\/p>\n<h2>Homosexual culture house<\/h2>\n<p>There was no dispute over whether to build a so-called house of culture for homosexuals in the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe Social Liberal\u2019s have been progressive in the LGBTQ <em>(lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender\/transsexual, and queer- ed.)<\/em> area from the beginning, and we would happily support such a house,\u00ab said Klaus Bondam.<\/p>\n<p>Although he agreed, the Conservative Party&#8217;s Karsten Skawbo-Jensen (K) thought that the house should be privately funded and not paid for by the state.<\/p>\n<p><em>The meeting was held 3 November in Studenterhuset by BLUS in collaboration with LBL (the National Association of Gays &amp; Lesbians).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>uniavisen@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":48,"name":"Politics","slug":"politics","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":48,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1036,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11491,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/IMG_3179-2-1280x853.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24319"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39986,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24319\/revisions\/39986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
