In 2022, Norwegian Minister Sylvi Listhaug publicly stated her intention to participate in a Pride parade “at the first available opportunity.” Despite the passage of time, she has yet to attend any Pride events. This commitment was made amidst a broader discussion regarding political representation and inclusivity at Pride celebrations. No specific reason has been given for the delay, leading to questions about the sincerity of her initial statement. Critics have pointed to this as a broken promise and a lack of support for the LGBTQ+ community. Listhaug’s office has not yet responded to recent inquiries regarding her continued absence from Pride parades. The situation has generated discussion within Norwegian political circles and among LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.
