Norway Minister Marries Gay Lover
(AP) Norwegian Finance Minister Per-Kristian Foss has married his gay
companion, becoming the first member of a Norwegian government to enter
a binding homosexual partnership.
Under a 1993 law, gays and lesbians can enter legal partnerships with
all the rights and obligations of marriage, except adoption and church
weddings.
Foss, a Conservative, married long-term partner Jan Erik Knarbakk in a
ceremony at the Norwegian Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden.
The Norwegian Finance Ministry confirmed the wedding, but said Foss was
giving no interviews or comment because it was a personal matter.
"Yes, we entered a partnership at the embassy in Stockholm on Friday,
Jan. 4," Foss told the Norwegian business newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv.
"But beyond that, it is a private matter."
Knarbakk is a top manager in the Schibsted publishing concern, and the
two have been described in the news media as being among Norway's most
powerful couples.
Foss is a member of a three-party coalition government led by Lutheran
clergyman Kjell Magne Bondevik of the Christian Democratic party, which
opposes homosexual marriages.
Nonetheless, Foss was openly gay and living with his partner when he
joined the government, and it was not an issue in his appointment to the
powerful post of finance minister.
Norwegians are broadly tolerant of homosexuals and traditionally respect
the private lives of public figures; therefore, the wedding was simply
noted briefly, without comment, by the news media.
About 100 couples a year enter gay partnerships in the capital city of Oslo.
