La Bella 7710, which are nylon-wound on the outside and these strings sound really good on this bass. There can be a big difference in how different strings sound on different basses. | BLARK_translated | La Bella 7710, sum eru nylonvundnir á uttarusíðini og hesin strongur ljóður ordiliga gott á hesum bassinum. Tað kann gott verða stórur munur á hvussu ymiskir streingir ljóða á ymiskum bassum." |
When I play classical music, it's a Hungarian bass that I play. It is dark in color and was made around 1865 in Budapest; the maker is unknown. | BLARK_translated | Tá eg spæli klassiskt er tað ein ungarskur bassur eg spæli á. Hann er myrkur á liti og er bygdur uml.1865 í Budapest, byggjarin ókendur. |
The strings I use on this bass are Flexocore orchestra E-A-D, and because it is bright in tone, a Jargar G. | BLARK_translated | Streingirnir eg brúki á hesum bassinum eru Flexocore orchestra E-A-D og av tí at hann er ljósur í klanginum ein Jargar G. |
The preamplifier 1V2, besides sounding great and having lots of various features, includes, among other things, a very good compressor and an equalizer that can be pulled back slowly. Together with the power amplifier EP200 it provides a neutral and clear bass tone that you can make sound exactly the way you want. | BLARK_translated | Forforstyrkjarin 1V2 hevur, fyriuttan at hann ljóðar knallgott og hevur massar av alskins møguleikum, m.a. ein sera góðan compressara og ein equalizara sum seint verður tikin aftur. Saman við effektforsterkaranum EP200 er gevur hann eitt neutralt og klárt bassljóð sum tú sjálvur kann fáa at ljóða akkurát sum tú sjálvur... |
Among others, Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller use these amplifiers. | BLARK_translated | M.a. Stanley Clarke og Marcus Miller nýta hesar forsterkararnar. |

Here is your new home on the internet - Faroese gay man and Faroese lesbian! | BLARK_translated | Her er títt nýggja heim á netinum - føroyski gjeikari og føroyska lesbiska! |
Increasingly more people no longer want to accept having to live in the shadows and hide that we are men who love men and women who love women. We want to have a life as good as everyone else — with the same opportunities to find happiness and have an exciting career. | BLARK_translated | Støðugt fleiri vilja ikki longur finna seg í at skula ganga í skýmaskotum og dylja yvir, at vit eru menn sum elska menn og kvinnur sum elska kvinnur. Vit vilja hava eitt líka gott lív sum øll onnur - við somu møguleikum fyri at finna eydnuna og hava eina spennandi karrieru. |
Of course we must no longer accept the intolerance that Faroese society has offered us until now. And when Faroese authorities do not want to behave decently and, as in other developed countries, support us gay people, then we ourselves must do something. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvandi skulu vit ikki longur finna okkum í intoluransuni, sum føroyska samfelagið hevur boðið okkum higartil. Og tá føroyskir myndugleikar ikki vilja bera seg sømiliga at og sum í øðrum framkomnum londum stuðla okkum samkyndu, so mugu vit sjálvi gera nakað. |
That is why we, some Faroese exiles forced to live abroad, have chosen to support our brothers and sisters at home in the Faroe Islands with this website. | BLARK_translated | Tí hava vit, nakrir føroyskir gjeikarar sum noyðast at liva uttanlanda, valt at stuðla okkara brøðrum og systrum heima í Føroyum við hesi heimasíðuni. |
we are holding a second party for Faroese homosexuals (both women and men) here in Copenhagen. The first was held in December 1999, and about 20 people attended. This time we hope that many more will come. | BLARK_translated | halda vit aðru veitsluna fyri føroysk samkynd (bæði kvinnur og menn) her í Keypmannahavn.

When the Swedish Prime Minister, Göran Persson, opened the Riksdag (the Swedish "Løgtingið") in the autumn of 2000, he emphasized that discrimination based, among other things, on sexual orientation (that is, homosexuality!) can under no circumstances be accepted. | BLARK_translated | Tá ið svenski forsætisráðharrin, Göran Persson, á heystið 2000 setti Ríkisdagin (svenska "Løgtingið"), legði hann dent á, at mismunur vegna m.a. kynsliga ábending (altso homoseksualitet!) undir ongum umstøðum kann góðtakast. |
Göran Persson announced that an international conference on the fight against discrimination will be held in Stockholm on 29-30 January 2001. | BLARK_translated | Göran Persson helt fyri, at ein altjóða stevna um stríðið móti mismuni verður hildin í Stokkhólmi 29.-30. januar 2001. |

A stereotypical lipstick lesbian is popularly said: "Someone like that, whom one cannot see, is a lesbian." That means a woman who does everything that most women do anyway: presents herself femininely and generally emphasizes her femininity, including putting color on her lips for occasions or when she just wants to l... | BLARK_translated | Ein varrastifts-lesbisk er populert sagt: "Ein slík, sum ein ikki kann síggja er lesbisk". Tað vil siga ein kvinna, sum ger alt tað, flestu kvinnur nú einaferð gera: lata seg feminint í og í heila tikið undirstrika teirra kvinnuligheit harímillum leggja lit á varrarnar í veitslulag ella tá tær bara vilja síggja serliga... |
A few years ago Information ran a poster showing two attractive young women dressed in tight-fitting, white dresses that emphasized their rounded waists and breasts as they stood close together and gave each other a warm (lipstick) kiss. On the poster it said in large letters: "Information also writes about family life... | BLARK_translated | Fyri nøkrum árum síðan lýsti Informatión við einari plakat, har tvær lekrar dámur ílatnar tættsitandi, hvítar kjólar, sum framhevjaðu rundu mjadnarnar og bróstini har tær stóðu tætt saman og góvu hvørji aðrari ein heitan (varrastifta)koss. Á plakatini stó við stórum stavum: "Information skriver skam også om familieliv"... |
Information's plan was of course to provoke in order to get attention and at the same time present itself as nonjudgmental and different. Just as Politiken had a lovestruck gay couple in a TV commercial rolling around in vegetables while they cooked together. It was very successful. The prejudices were exposed. Informa... | BLARK_translated | Ætlanin hjá Information var sjálvandi at forarga fyri at fáa umtalu og samstundis vísa seg sum eina fordómsfría og annarleiðis avís. Eins og Politiken lat eitt forelskað gjeikara-par í einari sjónvarpslýsing kasta seg runt í grønmeti, meðan teir gjørdu mat saman. Tað eydnaðist sera væl. Fordómarnir komu fram í ljósið. ... |
Lesbians don’t either. Always. But you could also say the same about most slightly clumsy women. We don’t all walk around looking like Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and their divine sisters. So what’s unbelievable, then, is that a beautiful feminine woman can desire another woman. “Lipstick lesbians,” like the two o... | BLARK_translated | Tað gera lesbiskar heldur ikki. Altíð. Men tað sama kann man jú eisini siga um tær flestu eisini hinkyntar kvinnur. Vit ganga ikki allar runt og líkjast Claudiu Schiffer, Naomi Campbell og teirra gudalíku meðsystrum. So tað sum er ótrúverdugt er altso, at ein vøkur feminin kvinna kann girnast eina aðra kvinnu. "Lipstic... |
“Varrastifts-lesbisk” is a genuine ‘insider word’ that is used in the ‘lesbian environment’ today. So it is not a derogatory masculine-gendered slur about a feminine, lesbian woman. To some extent it has come to replace the word ‘femme’ for the female role in a lesbian couple, where gender roles are divided in a tradit... | BLARK_translated | Varrastifts-lesbisk" er eitt rættuligt 'insider-orð', sum verður brúkt í tí 'lesbiska umhvørvinum' í dag. Tað er altso ikki eitt fordómsfult hinkynt skeldsorð um eina feminina, lesbiska kvinnu. Í ein ávísan mun er tað komið ístaðin fyri orðið 'femme' fyri tann kvinnuliga leiklutin í einum lesbiskum pari, har kynsleiklu... |
A masculine-styled lesbian does not require the “male” part. Neither the biological man nor the lesbian male-acting person: the butch.

Hvørki tann biologiska mannin ella tann lesbiska mannfólkaleitkutin: butch'in.

Strippers walk around the city in groups and try to get into bed with as many men as possible! | BLARK_translated | Gjeikarar ganga í heilum í býnum og royna at sleppa í song við so nógvum monnum sum gjørligt! |
Among gay people it is expected that you will happily go to bed with someone new! | BLARK_translated | Millum gjeikarar verður forvæntað at tú í heilum fert í song við onkrum nýggjum! |
Guys almost only listen to happy dance-pop, e.g. Vengaboys and Britney Spears! | BLARK_translated | Gjeikarar hoyra næstan bara glaðan dansi-popp, t.d. Vengaboys og Britney Spears! |

You will be happier if you have had an unhappy upbringing! | BLARK_translated | Tú verður gjeikari um tú hevur havt ein óhepnan uppvøkstur! |
No, that’s not right either — not because there’s anything wrong with it. It’s true that fiddlers’ positions play that kind of music to a somewhat greater extent than other positions, but the taste of fiddlers is just as varied as that of the rest. | BLARK_translated | Nei, tað passar heldur ikki - ikki tí tað er nakað forgjørt í tí. Tað er tó rætt at gjeikara-støð í eitt sindur størri mun enn onnur støð spæla slíkan tónleik, men smakurin hjá gjeikarum er akkurát líka so ymiskur sum hjá hinkyntum. |
For shallow and narrowly-minded swingers it may be reality, but for most it certainly isn’t. Just as life for the slow-moving doesn’t stop at 30. And swingers over 30 can definitely be (super)hot — ha ha! | BLARK_translated | Fyri summar grunnar og snævurskygdar gjeikarar er tað kanska veruleikin, men fyri teir flestu er tað sanniliga ikki so. Eins væl og lívið hjá hinkyntum heldur ikki steðgar við teimum 30. Og gjeikarar yvir 30 kunnu avgjørt verða (super)lekrir - he he! |
Another lie! For example, in Denmark almost all gay men (more than 9 out of 10) are not HIV-positive. If you use a condom and (water-based!) lubricant every time you have anal sex and never get semen in your mouth, you don’t need to fear HIV and AIDS. Could it be any easier? | BLARK_translated | Enn ein lygn! T.d. í Danmark eru teir allar allar flestu gjeikarar (fleiri enn 9 av 10) ikki hiv-positivir. Um tú brúkar hít og (vatnbaserað!) glíðukrem hvørja ferð tú íðkar analsex og aldrin fært sáð í munnin nýtist tær ikki at óttast hiv og eyðkvæmi. Kann tað vera lættari?! |
Nonsense! Not more so than heterosexuals. Some people are lonely in the big city, gay or not. It is certainly not our view that gay people are a less happy type of people than heterosexuals. And why should we be that way?! | BLARK_translated | Fjas! Ikki í størri mun enn hinkynt. Summi fólk eru einsamøll í stórbýnum, samkynd ella ei. Tað er sanniliga ikki okkara fatan at samkynd eru eitt minni lukkuligt fólkaslag enn hinkynt. Og hví skuldu vit verið tað?! |
No, and most researchers rather expect never to find a single gene that makes us gay. | BLARK_translated | Nei, og flestu granskarir vænta heldur aldrin at finna eitt einstakt gen, sum ger at vit eru gjeikarar. |
Might I perhaps be nervous about going to bed with another boy? | BLARK_translated | Fái eg kanska eyðkvæmi av at fara í song við einum øðrum drongi? |
If you feel attracted to and perhaps in love with other boys, think about or dream of going to bed with your male friends or other boys, you are probably gay. | BLARK_translated | Um tú kennir teg drignan at og kanska forelskaðan í øðrum drongjum, hugsar ella droymir um at fara í song við tínum vinmonnum ella øðrum drongjum, ert tú ivaleyst gjeikari. |
No one knows why some people are mainly or only attracted to their own sex. In the past many believed it was caused by a disease or somehow a failed childhood. But today all researchers think it is innate, just as it is innate, for example, to have blue eyes. | BLARK_translated | Eingin veit hví summi hava mest ella bara hug á sínum egna kyni. Fyrr trúu nógv, at tað stavaði frá einum løgnum ella onkursvegna miseyðnaðum barndómi. Men í dag halda allir granskarir, at tað er viðføtt, líkasum tað er viðføtt at t.d. hava blá eygu. |
But basically it doesn't matter why we are gay. People don't ask why left-handed people are left-handed, after all! In any case, as a gay person you are just as normal, healthy, and well-adjusted as everyone else. | BLARK_translated | Men í grundini er tað líkamikið hví vit eru gjeikarar. Fólk spyrja jú heldur ikki hví hinkynt eru hinkynt! Undir øllum umstøðum ert tú sum gjeikari akkurát líka so normalur, sunnur og væleyðnaður sum øll onnur. |
Today it is fortunately quite rare for people to hate you and want nothing to do with you when you tell them you are gay. Most accept it — at least after getting used to the idea. | BLARK_translated | Í dag er tíbetur rættiliga sjáldsamt at fólk leggja teg fyri hatur og einki vilja hava við teg at gera, tá ið tú sigur teimum at tú ert gjeikari. Tey flestu góðtaka tað - í hvussu er aftaná at hava vant seg við tankan. |
If you come from a more-than-usually Christian environment it can be harder to get people to accept you as gay. Unfortunately, Christians often forget their love of neighbor when it comes to homosexuality. For some people in such cases it is necessary, to a greater or lesser extent, to cut ties with their Christian fam... | BLARK_translated | Um tú kemur úr einari meiri enn vanligt kristnum umhvørvi kann tað vera verri at fáa fólk at góðtaka teg sum gjeikari. Tíverri gloyma tey kristnu ofta sín næstakærleika, tá ið tað snýr seg um samkynd. Hjá summum er í slíkum føri neyðugt, at meiri ella minni kuta sambandið við teirra kristnu familju, vinum og kenningum,... |
Most parents love their children above everything on earth. Therefore all parents should love their children as they are. And most parents do, fortunately! Many parents have no problem with their children being gay. Others react negatively at first, but accept it as time goes by, when they have gotten used to it. Some ... | BLARK_translated | Allar flestu foreldur elska síni børn yvir alt á jørð. Tískil áttu øll foreldur at elska síni børn sum tey nú einaferð eru. Og tað gera tey flestu foreldur tíbetur! Nógv foreldur hava einki ímóti at teirra børn eru samkynd. Onnur reagera negativt í fyrstuni, men góðtaka tað sum frá líður, tá ið tey hava vant seg við ta... |
Yes, in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Germany, the Netherlands, France and soon most countries in Western Europe. But not in the Faroe Islands - yet. | BLARK_translated | Ja, í Danmark, Svøríki, Noregi, Íslandi, Týsklandi, Hollandi, Fraklandi og skjótt flestu londum í Vesturevropa. Men ikki í Føroyum - enn. |
Yes, we can also enrich the human race with our own children like heterosexuals. Often a gay man and a lesbian find each other and she becomes pregnant via insemination, so they both have the child. In some countries there is also the possibility for married same-sex couples to adopt children of the spouse, for example... | BLARK_translated | Jú, vit kunnu eisini ríka mannaættina við okkara egnu børnum eins og hinkynt. Ofta finna ein gjeikari og ein lesbisk saman og hon gerst uppá vegin via ísáðing, so eiga bæði barnið. Í summum londum er eisini møguleiki hjá giftum samkyndum hjúnum at adoptera børn hjá hjúnarfelaganum t.d. Svøríki, Danmark, Noregi, Íslandi... |
9. Could I perhaps be afraid of going to bed with another boy? | BLARK_translated | 9. Fái eg kanska eyðkvæmi av at fara í song við einum øðrum drongi? |
Therefore everyone who practices anal sex (both women and men) should use silicone- and water-based lubricants — not ordinary skin cream (oil-based creams can damage silicone)! Some specialists also warn against getting semen in the mouth. | BLARK_translated | Tí eiga øll, ið íðka analsex (bæði kvinnur og menn) at nýta hít og vatnbaserað glíðukrem - ikki vanligt húðkrem (oljubaserað krem upploysir hítuna)! Summir serfrøðingar ávara eisini ímóti at fáa sáð í munnin. |
If you follow these simple rules every time, you don’t need to be afraid of HIV and AIDS. | BLARK_translated | Um tú fylgir hesu einklu reglum hvørjaferð, nýtist tær ikki at óttast hiv og eyðkvæmi. |
Those who secretly are attracted to their own sex — in other words are closeted gay — often have to bolster themselves by being hostile toward other gay people. Therefore, those who shout for (or call for) gays and are the most aggressive are often closeted gay. | BLARK_translated | Tey sum í loyndum hava hug á sínum egna kyni - altso eru fjald samkynd - mugu ofta styrkja seg við at vera fíggindalig mótvegis øðrum samkyndum. Tí eru ofta tey, ið rópa eftir gjeikarum og eru mest ágangandi, fjald samkynd. |
Another reason is that it IS somewhat different from being bisexual. Therefore, for some people bisexuality is unfamiliar, strange and crazy. It is especially easy for such people to make hostile remarks if they don't know any gay person. Most improve when they come to know a gay man. | BLARK_translated | Ein onnur grund er, at tað ER eitt sindur øðrvísi enn tað at vera hinkyntur. Tí er tað fyri summi hinkynt fremmant, løgið og galið. Tað er serliga lætt hjá slíkum fólki at koma við fíggindaligum viðmerkingum, um tey ikki kenna nakran samkyndan. Tey flestu batna, tá ið tey koma at kenna onkran gjeikara. |
Most gay people live in big cities, where there are tons of other gay people, and where almost all of their acquaintances accept us. We have joys and sorrows like everyone else. Some of us are married or live unmarried with someone of our own sex, others prefer to be single with changing partners. | BLARK_translated | Flestu samkyndu liva í stórbýum, har eitt tons av øðrum samkyndum eru, og har tey allar flestu hinkyntu góðtaka okkum. Vit hava gleðir og sorgir sum øll onnur. Summi okkara eru gift ella liva ógift saman við einum av sínum egna kyni, onnur dáma betur at vera støk við skiftandi partnarum. |
Below are some short stories from real life, written by Faroese gay men, about how each of them has experienced coming out as a Faroese person in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Niðanfyri koma nakrar sprettisøgur frá tí veruliga lívinum, skrivaðar av føroyskum samkyndum, um hvussu tey hvør í sínum lagið hava upplivað hetta at spretta sum føroyingur í Føroyum. |
These five are Faroese who tell their birth stories under a pseudonym. If you would like to tell how it was for you, you are welcome to send it in. | BLARK_translated | Hesi fimm eru føroyingar, sum siga frá sprettisøgum teirra undir dulnevni. Hevur tú hug at siga frá hvussu var hjá tær, ert tú vælkomin at senda inn. |
I am a woman in my mid-20s. I was born and raised in a larger town in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Eg eri ein kvinna mitt í 20-unum. Eg eri fødd og uppvaksin í eini størri bygd í Føroyum. |
I told it first to my siblings and they reacted incredibly well, and I am so truly grateful for that today. | BLARK_translated | Eg segði tað fyrst fyri systkjum mínum og tey tóku tað ótrúliga flott og tað eri eg so hjartans glað fyri í dag. |
I did know that the parents were in shock and that was why they reacted that way. I said that I loved the family; but I chose the girl I had gotten together with. Because if I hadn’t done that then I knew that I could never live the life I wanted. But just go with the flow and never wanted to be successful. | BLARK_translated | Eg vitsti jú, at foreldrini vóru í sjokk og tað var tí tey reageraðu soleiðis. Eg segði at eg elskaði familjuna; men valdi gentuna sum eg kom saman við. Tí um eg ikki gjørdi tað nú so vitsti eg, at eg aldrin kundi liva tað lívið sum eg vildi. Men bara fylgja við streyminum og aldrin vildi vera eydnurík. |
I had no contact with my parents for several months. But then we gradually started talking on the phone again. However, we did not talk about “IT.” The rest of the family and my friends supported me and that helped me quite a lot. This was a new situation for me and was quite frightening. Everything was different. I fe... | BLARK_translated | Eg hevði onki samband við míni foreldur í nakrar mánaðir. Men so byrjaðu vit so smátt at tosa í telefon aftur. Men vit tosaðu ikki um "TAÐ". Restin av familjuni og mínir vinir stuðlaðu mær og tað hjálpti mær rættiliga væl. Hettar var ein nýggj støða fyri meg og var rættiliga skelkandi. Alt var annaðleiðis. Eg føldi at ... |
I know that the debate moved quickly in the Faroe Islands and that there were different opinions about same-sex [relationships/people]. | BLARK_translated | Eg veit at slaturin gekk skjótt í Føroyum og at tað vóru ymiskar meiningar um samkynd. |
I don't always feel good about being Faroese and gay. I often don't say that I'm gay when people ask if I'm engaged or have found some guy. Faroese people are backward in their development and often think that if someone is gay they can make others gay. They cannot. I hope that Faroese people in the future will underst... | BLARK_translated | Eg havi tað ikki altíð gott við at vera føroysk og samkynd. Tað er ofta at eg ikki sigi at eg eri samkynd, tá ið fólk spyrja um eg eri forlovað ella havi funnið nakran sjeik. Føroyingar eru aftarliga í útviklingini og halda ofta at um mann er samkyndur kann mann smitta onnur. Tað kann mann ikki. Eg hopi at føroyingar í... |
I am a young man in my thirties from Tórshavn. In reality I have always known that I was of “that” kind. But it was not until I knew what sex was that I really realized that I am attracted to men and fall in love with them. I discovered sex when I was about 14, but it was not until I was fifteen that I began to admit t... | BLARK_translated | Eg eri ein blaðungur maður í 30unum úr Havn. Í veruleikanum havi eg altíð vitað, at eg var av "hesum" slagnum. Men tað var ikki fyrrenn eg vitsti hvat sex er, at eg rættiliga gjørdi mær greitt, at eg kenni meg drignan av monnum og gerist ásttikin í teimum. Sex uppdagaði eg tá eg var umleið 14 ár, men ikki fyrrenn eg va... |
At first I thought it was terrible. Imagine: having to live the rest of your life as a freak that others think is an idiot. Always being outside. In the first years in Tórshavn I also felt like a strange flower, where I was nothing but a long homosexual spot without any other content. It was a real hell on earth! | BLARK_translated | Í fyrstuni helt eg tað vera ræðuligt. Hugsa sær: At skula liva restina av lívinum sum ein kvendil, sum onnur halda vera ein idiot. Altíð vera uttanfyri. Tey fyrstu árini í Havn kendi eg meg eisini sum eina fremmanta blómu, har eg ikki var annað enn eitt langt homoseksuelt petti uttan annað innihald. Tað var eitt satt h... |
When I was 16 I told it to some friends, who thought it was completely okay. I had always suspected that my parents knew it, so I never told them — it kind of happened by itself. | BLARK_translated | Tá eg var 16 segði eg tað fyri nøkrum vinfólkum, sum hildu tað vera heilt ok. Eg hevði altíð varhugan av, at míni foreldur vitstu tað, so eg segði tað ongantíð, tað kom líkasum av sær sjálvum. |
Today I live in Copenhagen and live openly and freely as a gay man. Everyone who knows me also knows that in my work. Here in the city, as well as in other big cities, both society and individual people are very supportive of us. I would not want to be anything other than a gay man now, and I certainly feel no limitati... | BLARK_translated | Í dag búgvi eg í Keypmannahavn og livi opið og frítt sum gjeikari. Øll sum kenna meg vita tað eisini í mínum starvi. Her í býnum, eins væl og í øðrum stórbýum, er bæði samfelagið og einstakir persónar sera stuðlandi yvir fyri okkum. Eg vildi ikki verið annað enn gjeikari nú, og kenni avgjørt ongar avmarkingar, hvørki k... |
If I hadn’t left the Faroe Islands I would without a doubt have ended up in the state hospital or as a bent-over closet gay with an equally bent-over woman with five children. Horrible! The Faroe Islands are the only country in Western Europe that has such a hostile attitude toward homosexuals. The Faroe Islands are im... | BLARK_translated | Hevði eg ikki farið úr Føroyum hevði eg óivað endað á Statshospitalinum ella sum ein niðurboygdur skápsgjeikari við einari líka so niðurboygdari konu við fimm børnum. Ræðuligt! Føroyar er einasta landi í Vestureuropa, sum hevur eina so fíggindaliga attitudu mótvegis samkyndum. Føroyar er ómøguligt at búgva í sum gjeika... |
My dad lives in Norway. He accepts me 100% and he and his wife have often accompanied me to gay cafés in Norway and Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Pápi mín býr í Noregi. Hann góðtekur meg 100 % og hann og konan hava ofta verið við mær á gjeikara-kafe í Noregi og Danmark. |
But here is the story about when I told my mom that I am gay. | BLARK_translated | Men her er søgan um tá eg segði mammu frá at eg eri gjeikari. |
Mom said: Is that you. (silence). I have been thinking about that. If you were. gay. I also thought about it while you came with that girl. | BLARK_translated | Mamma segði: Ert tú tað. (tøgn). Eg havi gingið og tonkt uppá tað. Um tú vart. homo. Eg tonkti eisini uppá tað meðan tú komst við hasi gentuni. |
We all laughed and applauded. But I didn’t laugh when you had gone back inside. Because that one woman said to me (and I’ve been thinking about it ever since): One day your son will come and tell you that he is gay. And then you must promise me that you will accept him and not turn him away from you! But I answered: No... | BLARK_translated | Vit flentu øll og klappaðu. Men eg flenti ikki tá tú vart farin at lata teg í aftur. Tí tann eina daman segði við meg (og tað havi eg hugsað um líka síðan): Einaferð so kemur sonur tín at fortelja tær, at hann er samkyndur. Og tá mást tú lova mær at tú góðtekur hann og ikki skumpar hann frá tær! Men eg svaraði: Nei, so... |
A good experience for me. Not so good for mum. Mum said that in her evening prayer she thanked God that her son was not gay. But then she said: It is obvious that you are after all. I hope you take care of yourself and have a good life. And I think you shouldn’t go around telling people this. | BLARK_translated | Eitt gott upplivilsi fyri meg. Ikki so gott fyri mammu. Mamma segði, at hon í sínari kvøldarbøn takkaði Guði fyri, at sonur hennara ikki var homo. Men segði so: Tað ert tú eyðsýniliga kortini. Eg vóni at tú ansar eftir tær sjálvum og fært eitt gott lív. Og hattar haldi eg ikki at tú skalt ganga og siga fyri nøkrum. |
Yes, I intend to tell everyone. Not until then can I completely relax. Mum clutched her chest as she felt pain. "I am afraid of how things will go for you," she said. "And what will the others think?" | BLARK_translated | Jú eg ætli at siga tað fyri øllum. Ikki fyrrenn tá kann eg slappa heilt av. Mamma tók seg fyri bringuna sum fekk hon ilt. Eg eri bangin fyri hvussu tað fer at gangast tær, segði hon. Og hvat fara hini ikki at tonkja. |
One year later mom was back Down. We walked along the streets. I asked if she wanted to go into a gay café. No I don’t, she answered. Then I said: Why not? Well, then let’s go in here. And mom didn’t know that it was inside a gay café we were sitting and drinking hot cocoa. “How cozy it is in here,” mom said. Then I to... | BLARK_translated | Eitt ár aftaná var mamma aftur Niðri. Vit gingu eftir stroynum. Eg spurdi um hon vildi við á eina gjeikarakafe. Nei tað geri eg ikki, svaraði hon. So segði eg: Hví ikki? Ná, men lat okkum so fara inn her. Og mamma vitsti ikki, at tað var inni á einari gjeikarakafe vit sótu inni á og drukku heitt kakao. Sum tað er hugna... |
I have even been at my mother's in the Faroe Islands with a sheikh. And I tell her about whether anything exciting has happened in my life and love life. | BLARK_translated | Eg havi enntá verið heima hjá mammu í Føroyum við einum sjeiki. Og eg sigi henni frá, um tað er hent nakað spennandi í mínum lívi og kærleikslívi. |
I am in my thirties today, and everyone around me — family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances — knows that I am gay, and everyone thinks it is completely natural. I certainly don’t see it as a problem and, to be honest, think little about the fact that I am. At times I have, on the contrary, experienced that it is ... | BLARK_translated | Eg eri í dag í tretivunum, og øll rundan um meg, familja, vinir, arbeiðsfelagar og kenningar vita at eg eri gjeikari, og øll halda tað vera heilt náttúrligt. Eg síggi tað avgjørt ikki sum ein trupulleika, hugsi sannheit sagt lítið um, at eg eri tað. Viðhvørt havi eg tvørturímóti uppliva, at tað er ein fyrimunur fyri me... |
This was in the autumn, but not much happened that half-year, and then when he had been abroad and came back home we slept together again where we did a bit more sexually and a lot happened that night! | BLARK_translated | Hettar var um heysti, men tað hendi ikki so nógv tað hálva árið men tá ið hann hevði verið uttanlanda og kom heim aftur svóvu vit aftur saman hvar vit gjørdu eitt sindur meira við tað seksuella og tað hendi nógv ta náttina! |
It was so good, I felt I could bring someone I liked with me, and I also taught him how to do the various things. This lasted about 7–8 years. | BLARK_translated | Tað var so gott, kendi eg kundi sleppa at koma við einum mær dámdi, og eg lærdi hann eisini hvussu mann skuldi gera tey ymisku tingini. Hettar vardi so 7 8 ár. |
So when I came home I invited him to visit me, so he could come see and I had prepared the whole thing — how he was to discover these leaves — and we made love and it was good. | BLARK_translated | So tá ið eg kom heim bjóðaði eg honum at vitja meg, so hann kundi sleppa at síggja og eg hevði fyrireika ta heila hvussu hann skuldi uppdaga hesi bløð og vit elskaðust og tað var gott. |
And I got a broken heart, which took me about 1.5 years to get over. But when I came back home in '95 I came out of the closet as gay among friends and colleagues. | BLARK_translated | Og eg fekk hjartasorg, sum tók mær umleið 1,5 ár at koma yvir. Men tá ið eg kom heimaftur í '95 fór eg úr skápinum sum samkyndur millum vinir og starvsfelagar. |
Silence for a few minutes, then Mom asked, "Are you sure?" and I said, "Yes, I am." And Dad didn’t know what to say, and only Mom said, "Well, now she won’t have any grandchildren from me." But even today they don’t say anything, and I understand that well — they need just as much time to accept it as it took me to com... | BLARK_translated | Tøgn í nakrar minuttir, so segði mamma ert tú sikkur so sigi eg ja eg eri, og babba vitsti ikki hvat hann skuldi siga, og einasta mamma segði, ja, nú fekk hon eingin ommubørn av mær. Men enn í dag siga tey onki, og tað skilji eg væl tey skullu hava líka nógva tíð at góðtaka tað sum tað tók fyri meg at koma út (næstan). |
