| by Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network | in Uncategorized

It’s fashion week in Stockholm! Today is the second day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Stockholm and so far the shows have been amazing. Just went to see The Local Firm at Berns.

  

The Berns Hotel is by the way a partner of the Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network. A gay and lesbian friendly choice if your looking for a hotel in Stockholm! This chic art deco hotel has a lot to offer. Previous guests have included Marlene Dietrich and Diana Ross. One unnamed hip hop artist thought that the biggest suite was too small and therefore rented the hotels night club just to have it as a video game room…

At Berns you also find the straight friendly gay club “Kling & Paymans Glory Hole”.

Anton Hysén a soccer hero

| by Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network | in Uncategorized

The hottest and most good-looking Swedish gay star this year must be Anton Hysén. The 20 year old football player came out as gay to the Swedish football magazine Offside in March 2011. This became a worldwide sensation. Even BBC covered it on their news.

This coming Saturday Anton will host the Clean party at Kolingsborg, one of the most famous gay clubs in Stockholm. The Clean parties are famous for their extravagant themes, top performers and the good-looking party crowd.

We called up the hottie Anton and asked him about why you should come and visit Stockholm. “Swedish people are open and friendly, you can be yourself without being judged, and I’m also proud that Sweden is such a clean country.

When I go to clubs I like Kolingsborg, where the Clean party is held, and I also like the gay club number 2 at Berns.”

 "gay stockholm" "clean"

The Clean party feat Anton Hysen is held the 4th of June at Kolingsborg Gula gången 2 at Slussen Stockholm. Both Red One produced Love Generaton and pop sensation Loreen will perform. Read more about the Clean party on facebook
