Lesbian couple are Norway heroes

[Swede]

A lesbian couple who live on an island neighbouring the one where Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik massacred dozens of students on Friday saved around forty people by picking them up in their boat.

Hege Dalen and her partner Toril Hanse made four trips back and forth in their small boat, picking up injured, bloodied and scared young people.

They say they heard gunshots and screaming, so rushed over to assist.

1. There was also a German man that made 4-5 trips until

the police told him to stop
there could have been others that did the same

At times like those it really matters not what you are, just the will to do it

2. It doesn't hurt to say the are gay does it?

This is the LGBT form after all. Regardless everyone who helped are heroes.

3. I would think it would be a whole lot better to be able to say

that there were two women that worked together to save the young people
Their gayness does not make them who they are, it is just a part of them
Just as their color or age should not matter.

But I do understand your point, I was just pointing out that many people
worked together to save as many people as they could, and that to me is all that matters
People working together
