It's 'Homo Light' - the gay softdrink
news.com.au ^ | 07/12/2005 | From correspondents in Oslo

NORWEGIAN homosexuals are set to launch their own soda brand, "Homo light", at an upcoming gastronomic festival, in the hope that it will help promote tolerance, one of the authors of the project said.

"The goal is not for us to make money but to make us more visible and accepted," Oeystein Mauritzen told AFP. Pear-flavored and pink, "Homo Light" will go on sale as a one-time offer at a stand at a gastronomic festival in the southwestern town of Stavanger between July 27 and 30.

Along with the soda, which will be sold in half-litre (about a pint) bottles for 20 kroner ($4.70), the group will sell rainbow-colored pasta salads.

Norway, which has allowed homosexuals to form marriage-like partnerships since 1993, is one of the world's most liberal countries when it comes to gay rights.

The current coalition government ironically combines Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik, a Lutheran minister of the Christian Democratic Party who has come out against the partnership law, and openly gay Finance Minister Per-Kristian Foss of the Conservative Party.

"Homo light" - egads, talk about redundancy.

And sorry if this is redundant. I'm too tired to read the whole thread right now.

I wonder what's in the secret formula.

Personally I dont care to know and refuse to entertain any such thoughts...

For someone to repress their conscience and go against the natural order of things is to have one's literally SEARED - hence anything and any perversion can be possible from then on.

That is the same reasoning why gays are/were considered a security threat, depending on the country; but it wasnt very long ago that was the standing order.
