​@@dirkjensen969 you? Backwards you are lol

@@dirkjensen969 You didn't have to say you were a 12 year old child, but the comment says it all!

To be fair Poland and Hungary has been the major stopping block to the European progress for decades, its not Europes fault that you choose nationalistic governments.

@@MacDaddy8200 Sad but true:( i don't know why are people still so focus on "national" instead of seeking something greater.

1:29 Eigil Axgil died in 1995 at the age of 73. Axel Axgil died on 29 October 2011 at the age of 96. 2:01 As of the couple wearing white suits, psychologist Ove Carlsen and Lutheran priest Ivan Larsen, they were still alive, and still together, in 2023, according to an article in Danish.

Because even though the places of faith do not recognize the religion of individuals - those individuals with faith still have faith... In Time some of these ceremonies where also done in churches (churches that allowed it to happen, and not something forced onto the congregation) - but the "contract" signing had to be done by someone who was not the pastor, an outside of the church guy, mixing the 2 together somewhat and after 22/23 years - the churches opened up for marriages there alongside the state - but the civil union was not unlike marriage - from 1989 there was 4 things that differed from marriage and civil unions - 1 being about adoption, which changed through the years, but at the getgo in 1989 it was not a right - also the right to be recognized outside Denmark was not a given - the last 2 i cant recall, but in reality being in a union was almost equal to marriage in the eyes of the state. In 1989 the right to get a civil union was the goal, and then fight for the other (4) rights through time

Do you ask the same thing when a man and woman gets married in a church? One of these guys is a Lutheran priest, my guess is that he brings religion into a lot of things in his life.

if its religion, (as it sound like it is for you) why bring a legal contract into it when you get marriged?

He was a campaigner to have Danish Nazi war-criminals brought to justice ffs.

@@hanstun1 THAT is a lie...why do you write it?

"In 2012, it was revealed that in the midst of Germany's occupation of Denmark during World War II, Eigil had enlisted in the Waffen-SS in 1943 and served with them until the end of the war.[3] Eigil Axgil was subsequently prosecuted for his Waffen-SS membership after the war but managed to keep it mostly to himself until Axel Axgil, rather reluctantly, confirmed it in his biography which was released in 2012." Wikipedia

Unfortunately not even gay people are immune to skilled nazi propaganda. Just glad he realised he was wrong, and changed to make the word a better place instead..

@@hooooliee90 I know it is true...I remember the discussion about naming a Copenhagen Square after him. When his SS membership became known, the idea was killed faster than a cat in Haiti. The comment about the lie was to Hanstun1, who wrote: ""He was a campaigner to have Danish Nazi war-criminals brought to justice ffs."".

Silence, Connie

Please explain clean living ?

@@Phildouf It wont suit you, but we both already know what it is

Try me! What I do know is that you probably don’t respect half of what you’ll tell me is on that list of “clean living”!

Nevermind just did some research on you and it is abundantly clear you are NOT representing clean living! 😂

Conservative, shut up.

The Nordic countries realised that religious teachings and war mongering military folks are the worst things you can follow. So they created a more human society instead.

Cry harder + cope

In Nordic mythology the rainbow "Bifrost", guarded by Heimdal, is the connection between Asgård (realm of the gods) and Midgård (realm of the mortal humans).

narrowminded homophob.. but you know , you have most likely already been manhandled by one of the many priests in your own country so the projection is real...

Don't cry, one day in your country maybe you can get married too. Although it may be hundreds of year behind the mordern world ;)
