Pink News needs to get over Måns Zelmerlöw 5 second scandal
Pink News writes : Sweden picks singer who claimed gay sex is ‘not natural’ in March and mention it again yesterday. Got me pissed off !
I’m referring to these Pink News article’s :
Eurovision winner Mans Zelmerlow: We are all heroes no matter who we love
Sweden picks singer who claimed gay sex is ‘not natural’ for Eurovision
It’s correct that Måns Zelmerlöw claimed in March 2014 that gay sex is ‘not natural’, but he has apologies for that statement willingly – it was not forced – he has done this in several times in Swedish and international media. Is it time for Pink News to forgive and forget ?
Even the source of the first article Sweden picks singer who claimed gay sex is ‘not natural’ for Eurovision writes this :
Editor’s note (16 March 2015): This story was published in March 2014, shortly after the “Pluras kök” program aired in Sweden. However, in recent days European media have cited this story and reported events as if it occurred just before Melodifestivalen 2015. This is not the case. Måns has already apologised and the Swedish public has moved on. After spending time with Måns in Stockholm, we can confirm he is very comfortable with members of the LGBT community.
LGBT community in Sweden has moved on for a long time ago – because Måns Zelmerlöw apology was believable.
Måns Zelmerlöw has hosted Sweden’s Gay Awards – QX Gaygala – an homophobic person do not take that kind of engagement. So Måns Zelmerlöw is not homophobic – never been and never gonna be. He has always been supportive of the LGBT community – can’t find any reference that he has been homophobic except for the 5 seconds scandal in 2014 – that Pink News seems to be hung up on.
Even gay.com/Advocate are using Pink News as a source for this article : Eurovision Winner Who Called Gays an ‘Abnormality’ Changes Tune
Everyone can do mistakes, even Måns Zelmerlöw, but do the LGBT media/community need to remind everyone about it – after Måns Zelmerlöw have apologised for what has offended the LGBT community a long time ago ?
It’s time for Pink News to move on… to real homophobes!
If Pink News wants to comment on this – MySoCalledGayLife.co.uk will of course publish the comment.
