Anders Gaasland, formerly[1] Anders Gåsland (born 16 January 1968) is a Norwegian politician, formerly for the Christian Democratic Party. Openly homosexual, he is considered an important promoter of gay rights in Norway.[2]

Life

He was born in Rælingen.[3] In 1992, he took over as chairman of the Youth of the Christian People's Party, the youth wing of the Christian Democratic Party. In the autumn of 1992 he came forward as a homosexual, in the prime time news programme Lørdagsrevyen.[4] Shortly after, he was removed from the party ticket for the 1993 Norwegian parliamentary election.[5] Originally willing to continue as chairman of the Youth of the Christian People's Party, he was pressured to resign from this position.[5][6] He was succeeded by Andreas E. Eidsaa.

Gåsland has later joined the Liberal Party.[7] He was included on the party ticket in Oslo ahead of the 2001 parliamentary election,[8] but was not elected. He works as a psychiatrist.[9]

In 1993, he published the autobiographical book Alltid freidig which details his experience as a gay person in the Christian Democratic Party.
