Wow. I didn't know that everywhere (except now Norway) kinksters were considered mentally ill. Ouch. “Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live” | |

Sweden removed their classification last year as well.
Let's hope more countries follow suit. Best thing is that it has happen after activist-groups has raised the question, showing that activism is not allows like walking in quicksand (or insert whatever here)

Not everywhere, Denmark was the first country to have it taken off the list of mental illnesses. Others have followed but the majority of countries still think it an illness. *insert silly text or moneymaking link of choice here* | |

When it comes to activism in the Swedish capital you just have to take a bunch of people hostage and pretty soon they'll agree with your views. I don't think that applies elsewhere. “Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live” | |

I suppose the downside to all this is most of the civilised world considers Scandinavia to be collectively nuts for their lefty politics and desire to invent, let alone eat, lutefisk. This could be just the justification everybody else in the world needed to write us off as gibbering deviants. “Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live” | |

Yeyy! That is great news, congratulations to them. Am glad to see the world is slowly but surely waking up to the foolishness of classing s&m as a disease. Hopefully this may filter across to the UK soon trouble xxx |
