Being Gay in Norway

[deleted11383681]

Hey guys,

Im moving to norway soon. How is it being gay in Norway? How do people look to gays? Are gays are more discreet or very open?

Depends where in Norway. Oslo is great. Don’t think other cities have their own gay scene, except from Bergen and Kristiansand that has one bar.

No problem being openly gay in Norway. Maybe in small places.

As long as you're not in the deep south (called the bible belt), you're usually good. As every western country, there's a rise in homophobia among young men, but my guess is you wouldn't ever notice it. Gays are mostly open, but usually less "flamboyant" outside of Oslo.

Kristiansand is in the very south and is one of the cities that actually has a gay bar, so it’s not black or white in the Bible Belt Check it out on Instagram: barrikaden_krs
