Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)

Bieber Novidade stated that Justin Bieber had defended, on different occasions, the respect and acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people. According to the publication, in 2011 the singer said that someone's homosexuality should not affect others. In 2018, after hearing a queer fan report the homophobia she faced, he stated that it was unacceptable, lamented the situation, and invited her to his church, saying she would be welcome. The publication contrasted these statements with remarks from Flávio Bolsonaro, who, according to the author, had said he would not be proud to have a gay son and would not feel comfortable seeing him present his boyfriend. Bieber Novidade also stated that Jair Bolsonaro had declared he would not be proud to have a gay son. The author noted that this difference should be remembered when LGBTQIA+ people are turned into political issues or their rights and dignity are treated as negotiable. He added that respect should not be a matter of left or right. #LGBTQIA #Respeito #DireitosHumanos (translated)
