AKER BRYGGE: (Dagbladet) June is considered the official Pride month all over the world, where the celebration of love and diversity is in focus. Both rainbow flags and pride festivals are regular features.
Wednesday night invites celebrity stylist Jan Thomas (55) and Princess Märtha Louise (50) to a live podcast on 3TK at Aker Brygge in Oslo. Famous faces such as Victor Sotberg (30) and Benjamin Silseth (31) will also be guests.
Jan Thomas reveals to Dagbladet that he felt his nerves before the live broadcast, but the good company should prove to have a calming effect.
– It can not go wrong, because it is about love, and there are three people that I am very, very fond of. That is just what we are going to discuss – what love means to us, says Jan Thomas.
Surprised at grandma’s art opening
Open about sexual orientation
In the podcast, the celebrity stylist and princess talk about the ongoing Pride celebration, which the 50-year-old is very excited about.
– I have one problem with Pride, and that is that it should last all year, not just a month, the princess says in the live podcast.

She also pays tribute to her future husband, Durek Verrett (47).
– Durek is very open that he is bisexual. Then I say, ‘Oh my God, how do you do that? Is not it very difficult? ». No, it’s not difficult at all, it’s just the way he is, the princess continues.
– He’s a homophobe
– To be allowed to have that exploration phase in freedom and with respect, I think is so incredibly important. I’m so glad he’s open to it, and I’m so glad everyone who’s open to who they are is. Everyone who criticizes how others live in any area, really only shows their own limitations, the princess adds.
– Hell
TV profile Victor Sotberg (30) is also included in the live podcast. He says that adolescence was especially difficult in connection with finding out who you are.

– The middle school was the top of hell for me, because it was just judgment, judgment, judgment, without me completely knowing who I was, he says frankly.
Psychologist Benjamin Silseth (31) also shares his thoughts on skewness in today’s society.
– We are not heard
– I think we are a little narrow-minded about it. I think we have a picture of love and how it should be. When someone begins to experience or tries to change our understanding and our image of love, whether it is about gender, orientation, number or absence of number, I think many are challenged a bit in the perspective they have on love, says the 31-year-old .
