Norwegian Lubna Jaffery has celebrated receiving the "Fag Hag" award for her support of queers by exposing herself
Norwegian Minister of Culture and Gender Equality Lubna Jaffery has exposed her breasts at an Oslo Pride event, where she was awarded the "Fag Hag 2024" award for her work. The controversial act received praise from the country's top leadership.
Last week, Jaffery was featured on the Skeiv Preik ('Queer Sermon') talk show, affiliated with Oslo Pride, where she was given the prestigious award recognizing her as the top patron of queers.
Footage from the event shows the minister onstage holding the award - a large pink bow with the golden inscription "Fag Hag." Jaffery then proceeds to expose her breasts, adorned by nothing but two tasseled nipple covers. She received lengthy applause from the audience.
"I am very grateful to have been named Fag Hag, the main patron of queers, during Oslo Pride this year. This is a great honor," Jaffery told the Nettavisen newspaper, adding that to receive such an accolade, one has to "put yourself out and not take yourself too seriously."
The minister's performance was lauded by the head of Oslo Pride, Joakim Aadland, who said that it was the best thing the event had witnessed in years.
"I think it's wonderful that we have a minister who goes 'all-in' and is not afraid to put herself forward a little. I've never experienced the applause she received in the ten years we've had Pride. So it's clear that the audience appreciated Lubna's stunt," he told Dagbladet newspaper.
Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store described Jaffery's appearance at Oslo Pride as "wonderful." "Lubna is a confident, free and wonderful person who is warmly welcomed at cultural events all over the country," the PM told Nettavisen.
Comment: The
Wiki has:
Lubna Boby Jaffery (born 2 April 1980)[1] is a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party. She has served as minister of culture and equality since 2023
Born in Norway to parents of Pakistani origin she grew up in Bergen.[2] She took her secondary education in Åsane in 1999, and at the University of Bergen she took the cand.mag. degree in 2004 and the master's degree in 2007.
It is possible the applause from the Prime Minister, and her own choice to make this performance, is in part motivated by her having a Muslim background.Her FB page shows Jaffery is willing to celebrate whatever comes within the firing range. On
April 5, when Norway had decided to spend 52 Billion Euros more on defence over the next 12 years, she wrote:
Our most important job is to keep Norway safe. The government strengthens Norway's defense with 600 billion kroner in the next 12 years, from this year to 2036. That's a historic boost for the Armed Forces. The biggest promise is for the Naval Defense. An important boost for Norway, Western Norway and Bergen. The Navy will get a minimum of five new frigates with anti-submarine helicopters, a minimum of five submarines and a standardized vessel class with up to ten large and eighteen smaller vessels. A historic day and an important day!
Since Norway already spends about 7-8 Billion Euros, the above increase is significant. Celebrating war, along the lines of NATO and the Norwegian Secretary General Stoltenberg has the potential bring back the stone age to Europe which for some could have the consequence that there will be a lot more body to show, not because of decadence, but because there could be little available that can cover. However the perspective, does not register with Ms Jaffery. A few days later, she was celebrating Muslim traditions:
On
April 10
Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating! Today is an important holiday for Norwegian Muslims after a month of fasting, spiruality and solidarity. At the same time, it is a celebration that many have Palestine and Gaza in mind. Rarely has six months been filled with this much pain, anger and sorrow. The government is working with other countries to bring about a ceasefire and ensure enough humanitarian aid into Gaza. I wish everyone a happy celebration!
Lubna Jaffery may be sincere about Gaza and Palestine, but we can't know for sure.
