Our thoughts go out to victims of deadly attack at gay bar leading to cancellation of Oslo Pride

We are shocked and heartbroken to hear about the shooting at Oslo’s London Pub, a popular gay bar, that left two people dead and twenty one gravely wounded. The police are treating this as a terrorist attack. Oslo Pride, which was supposed to have taken place today, has been cancelled for safety reasons.

Our hearts go out to the victims and their loved ones.

This news is tough, on all of us in the community, as once again, the scene of this tragedy was a gay club, one of the rare places meant to be a safe space for LGBTQ people, and where they are to be able to enjoy themselves and find some respite from the inequalities and pressures they face in everyday life.

The cancellation of Oslo pride as a result is a bitter pill to swallow - necessary for safety, today, but hopefully a safe Oslo pride can be held in the coming weeks or months in honor of the victims.

If ever anyone thought “pride is not necessary anymore”, this is your answer.

We believe that we should not stop fighting for our safe spaces now out of fear, because it is this very fear and isolation that the attackers seek to create. We are stronger, we find support in our community, and will continue to seek and build that community. We will keep finding each other in our bars, we will keep fighting for our safe space and attend Pride.

If you (or someone close to you) are in need of help and support at this time, here are some resources we put together after the Orlando Pulse shootings - they may not be entirely up to date but it’s a starting point

"Trygg" in Norwegian is "Safe" in English

There is a lot of talk about what the rainbow colors mean these days. The answer is quite simple: Showing who you are - or who you stand with - is not just decoration. It means that there is room for you, that you belong and that you are safe.

Congratulations to Maud Angelica Behn, who came out as queer at Oslo Pride on June 28, 2025.

"This year's Pride was absolutely amazing, and there was so much love."

Maud is the eldest daughter of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway. They attended the Pride event together. Martha Louise expressed her support for Maud and the LGBT+ community.

“(It’s) not just about identity but also about the bravery to be fully yourself in a world that often doesn't make that easy. You are seen, you are loved, and you never have to apologise for who you are. Love is never wrong. This Pride Month, I want to honor the courage it takes to live your truth. During Pride, I see a deep capacity for love — love that doesn’t ask for permission or explanation. There’s something profoundly beautiful about daring to love who you love, even when the world tells you to be quiet, to shrink, or to hide. But love isn’t meant to be hidden. It’s meant to be celebrated, lived, and shared in all its wonderful forms,”

“Pride is not just about identity. It’s about freedom. It’s about the bravery to be fully yourself in a world that often doesn’t make that easy.”

Maud is a member of the Norwegian royal family, but she is a private citizen and holds no royal title. She is the eldest grandchild of King Harald V of Norway and Queen Sonja.
