I'm always so surprised how far from the political climate Sweden is from the United States. Besides the neo-Nazis, the only party opposing it was the far-right Christian Democrats (6.6% in latest elections). Most others where thrilled.
Do you think such an exhibition would fly in, say, the United States?
An exhibition of graphic sex photos have caused a political row in a Swedish town. Christian Democrats in Alingsås want to close down the History of Sex exhibition at the town's municipal art gallery. The Liberal Party, usually allied with the Christian Democrats, says art should not be censored.
The photos, by American photographer Andres Serrano, depict scenes including a man performing [graphic] himself and a woman clutching a horse's [graphic].
The controversy over the exhibition has been taken to a new level by the involvement of the neo-Nazi Nationalsocialistisk Front (NSF), which has been distributing fliers protesting against the exhibition.
