- Status is not correct "Norway can discriminate teachers if they do no follow "Christian values", meaning a heterosexual lifestyle. Certain private Christian schools (NLA, Danielsen vgs) refuse to hire gay men, even though teaching, for example, English and Math has nothing to do with your sexual orientation."
- Status is not correct "Hatecrime does only give protection to gays and lesbian, not to gender-variants/transgendered, allthough they are covered from housing- and employment regulations since june 2013"
