Debate on Homosexuality and Immigration in Denmark
Only 16% of Muslim men in Denmark think it's completely
okay to be homosexual. Don't you think that's a problem for our society?
Not at all.
Why not?
Because pluralism
precisely entails that. Yes, it entails the fact that we
can have different views.
I think it's completely legitimate if you have different views from mine
and Morten's on how high taxes should be,
and how we should pursue
climate policy, or how many immigrants we should take in.
But if you enter our society as an immigrant and seriously don't
believe that women should have democratic
rights, if you seriously believe
that it's a problem to be homosexual, if you believe that our Danish legislation
be based on the Quran, why on earth do you want to live in
Denmark?
Why don't we just try to separate things a little here?
What business is it of society what people think?
Do you actually think homosexuality is okay?
Whether I do?
Mm-hmm.
What does that have to do with the case?
I just think it's relevant to ask about.
Well, do you?
Yes. Why won't you answer it?
I challenge the premise that a flat-out
answer of yes or no
should be decisive for Danishness.

Original transcript (Danish)
Det er eksempelvis kun 16% af de muslimske mænd i Danmark, der synes, det er helt okay at være homoseksuel. Synes du ikke, det er et problem for vores samfund? Overhovedet ikke. Hvorfor ikke? Fordi pluralismen
netop indebærer. Ja, det indebærer jo det faktum, at vi to kan have forskellige holdninger. Jeg synes, det er fuldstændig legitimt, hvis du har forskellige holdninger som mig og Morten i forhold til, hvor højt skattetrykket skal være, og hvordan vi skal føre
klimapolitik, eller hvor mange indvandrere vi skal tage. Men hvis du kommer til vores samfund som indvandrer, og du i ramme alvor ikke mener, at kvinder skal have demokratiske rettigheder, hvis du i ramme alvor mener, at det er et problem at være homoseksuel, hvis du mener, at vores danske lovgivning
skal bygge på Koranen, hvorfor i alverden vil du så gerne bo i Danmark? Men hvad skal vi ikke lige prøve at adskille tingene her lidt en lille smule? Hvad rager det samfundet, hvad folk mener? Synes du homoseksualitet er okay egentlig?
Om jeg synes det? Mm. Hvad har det med sagen at gøre? Det synes jeg bare er relevant at spørge om. Jamen, synes du det?
Ja. Hvorfor vil du ikke svare på det? Jeg anfægter præmissen om, at en point blankt svar ja eller nej skal være afgørende for danskhed.
