Benjamin ingrosso, swedish singer.

so why didn't they just call it "ally" of the year award then? why do they have to emphasize "hetero"? cuz one's heterosexuality shouldn't be anyone else's business, should it?

The point is that to recognize someone who is not HBTQ (or identifying as such) who is a real ally and supporter of HBTQ people. In a world where HBTQ people are out, especially at the Gala, and identifying as not straight, it seems strange – at least to me as a Swede - that there is something offensive about recognizing that someone who is heterosexual also deserves recognition for being an ally without being HBTQ.

It's a long tradition of the QX Gala and I don't know too many Swedes upset about it. The same is true for the Årets Homo award. Calling someone a "homo" in other countries would probably cause an uproar. It's meant to be tongue in cheek.

Benji was not being outed. He chose even with the award to suggest he's not yet identifying as homo or queer. He didn't have a problem with it clearly, so I I do not see the problem.

Just because in “English” people have started to get offended at everything & how language is used… doesn’t mean its such a HUGE deal to Swedes to use the word Hetero!

Yes. I will admit sometimes Swedish comedy attempts falls flat with these kind of things (as all comedy does, I suppose). But I also get the impression that there are many different reasons people get upset over this, some likely not out, but others having a wide variety of reasons for rejecting identity altogether or wanting or needing to keep it private.

But this is meant to be a campy gala which is one of the few gay events in Sweden other than parts of Stockholm Pride that get some attention. It has been around since the 1990s. It's called the gaygala for as long as I can remember that gets a major Swedish network broadcast actually produces some many kind moments. Nothing to get too worked up about.

I find Benji difficult to interpret. Maybe he just wants his gay fans to keep hoping?

Not that difficult.

First, as a Swede (who frequently works in all five Nordic countries), I can tell you that I know many HBTQ people who are still very sensitive when you actually ask or s

he wants to be a star outside of Sweden-the Nordic countries, He's talented, but may never get there. His handlers are probably telling him not to do it.

Second, his fan base is probably more female than gay-bi men, just because the latter category is smaller than the former (even given the higher rate of men in Sweden who identify as bi in research than in other countries),

If he comes out as bi, he would keep his gay-bi male fanbase, but the fantasy might not be the same for a lot of straight female fan-base.

You have to know that verification of these claims is always hard to come by, but okay, sure.

 

[tcy667]

God who ACTUALLY cares? Its not like any one of us has a chance even if he is bi!? This whole, lets get offended at anything & everything is so annoying.

Sorry. I take second-hand claims made on a message board without verification for what they are: Second-hand claims on a message board.

It's not you, it's every man and his dog coming on threads like this and outright lying time and time again for attention or to fill their sexual fantasy. So we take everything now with a grain of salt
