English summary:
Some time ago, I wrote a letter to the editor of Kyrkpressen, and it got some answers. The theme was my participation in the Gay Pride march in Helsinki this summer.
Now, I've heard that someone's answered me in Vasabladet, a totally different newspaper. This change of venue is in my mind somewhat deceitful, since it tries to exclude me from the debate.
***
En vän tipsade mig om att någon polemiserar med mig i en insändare i Vasabladet idag. Det torde vara ett svar på en insändare som jag tidigare skrev i Kyrkpressen, och den sortens byte av debattmedium är ju lite lustigt. Jag brukar inte läsa Vbl, nämligen, så jag blir därmed exkluderad. Inte särskilt renhårigt.
Min kompis lovade skicka en kopia av texten till mig, men det är klart att jag är nyfiken. Vad stod där månne? Det får jag väl reda på så småningom.

What was the topic? Did they not like you to take part of the Gay Pride. Are you famous well known in( religion circles,I have no idea) After all your writings here I think you are known and respected what ever it is you do.

Thank you, Coco! The conservatives, who think homosexuality is an abomination, didn't like my participation in Gay Pride. Apparently they're still upset, two and a half months after the event. Their problem, not mine.
I think many people respect me, however, and I seem to have become rather well known since I took up the homophobic gauntlet. That was not my motivation, of course, but since it gives my words more weight, I can't complain.
I still haven't read the letter itself, though.
