Former GORGOROTH Frontman Named 'Homosexual Of The Year' - Feb. 4, 2010





Last week the annual Bergen Gay Galla was held, and various awards were presented to persons and institutions that have contributed to the gay community in Bergen, Norway.



The most prestigious award was given to Kristian Espedal (a.k.a. Gaahl). The former GORGOROTH vocalist was named "Homosexual Of The Year" and accepted the award in person.



"I don't need an award to be myself. But if this can help other people in the same scene as me, it's a positive thing," Gaahl told local newspaper Bergensavisen.



Gaahl, 34, is involved in a relationship with 19-year-old Robin Jakobsen (pictured below with Gaahl).



When asked how he met his current partner, Gaahl said, "It was after closing time. I was at Fincken (gay bar in Bergen). Robin came to the club to look for his former boyfriend. I was buzzed on white wine, and suddenly I saw a glowing figure in the door. That was Robin. I thought to myself that he must be mine."



Was it love at first sight?



"No…I had to work a little for it."



Were people surprised when you came out as a homosexual?



"I think it's strange that it wasn't known before, but I never had a need to go public with it. Finally a German journalist had the guts to ask the question, and I answered him. It wasn't any more painful than that."

i think we know who the catcher is in that relationship

[Haunty]

Realistically, probably the hard-on bearer on the right. In all seriouslness, there's no way Gahl's the sexy leopard elevator, between him and that fruit.

I love that this grim man is gay. I wish more metal guys would come out.

[Meat Engine]

Unless your god happens to be Dionysus. He'd probably be a big fan of hide the sausage.

[quote name="Kael"]technically speaking, being gay is about as anti-god as you can get[/quote]



Isn't eating shellfish supposed to be just as bad? Or something like that.

[Verbal]

Folks haven't been readin' the bible!

[Meat Engine]

Shellfish are an abomination unto ye. If you marry a woman that turns out to have been previously deflowered, you have to kill her too. It's in the Bible.

Deuteronomy 22:13-21 (King James Version)



13If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,



14And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:



15Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:



16And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;



17And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.



18And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;



19And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.



20But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:



21Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

That was the old testament. the new one made it obsolete.

To be fair, that concept is found in practically every culture from that era, regardless of religion.

Yeah, true. I don't pay attention to biblical things.

Anywho, are there any other gay people in metal? Speculate!

[Meat Engine]

Phil Anselmo!

[zim]

now if he turned out to be gay, i wouldn't know what to think..

[Mesarthim]

pretty sure Vinnie Paul is a salad bar who eats waaaay to many arby's.

[Teresa]

Honestly, Chuck Schuldiner kind of set off my gaydar. But, my gaydar has been broken lately.

He was pretty effeminate, but I think he was straight. Trey is pretty effeminate at times too I think.



I heard someone describe me as effeminate over my shoulder once.







Possible homos: ...a lot of 1-man bands. I don't buy the "This band doesn't tour because I'm kvlt" excuse... I bet 1-man bands can't find touring members because they don't want to end up getting harassed on the tourbus every night of a long tour.

[Mesarthim]

i've seen some.



I always laugh when some one man grind core band comes through town and plays live.

[Meat Engine]

This hard-on bearer is kind of a local:

His live show was him doing guitar and vocals, with drum machine tracks backing the music.

This reminds me. With the newly shaved head, Dallas looks a little like Devin with a shaved head, and makes weird playing faces like Devin.



And Skinner wasn't kidding.

when Rob Halford came out of the closet, he declared that a lot of other famous metal musicians are Gay, but they hide it.



My Gay-Radar points attention to :



-David Lee Roth: he probably banged many chicks in the past, but I'm sure he likes to play with some cocks now and then

-Michael Kiske

- Paul Stanley : don't care if he banged a lot of chicks and he has a wife. I'm sure that dude played with man also. (Bisex probably IMO)







p.s. a fellating lover told me about Pete Sandoval, but I'm sure is bullshit and just a rumor.
