- Lubna Jaffery, 44, is Norway’s Minister for Culture and Gender Equality.
- Last week she was presented with the ‘Gay Mom 2024’ award in the Norwegian capital.
This is the moment a Norwegian minister thanked a cheering crowd after receiving an award at Oslo Pride last week – by flashing her breasts.
The country’s Minister of Culture and Gender Equality, Lubna Jaffery, received the “Gay Mom 2024” award in the Norwegian capital.
The award is given to women in the public sphere who publicly defend the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and who are considered idols by its members.
The 44-year-old politician proudly took to the stage at the Skeiv Preik (Queer Sermon) event on June 25, which is a popular part of the city’s Pride calendar.
“I am so grateful to have been named Gay Mom, the leading supporter of queer people, at this year’s Oslo Pride. It’s a huge honour,” she said to a cheering crowd.

Lubna Jaffery, the country’s Minister for Culture and Gender Equality, received the “Gay Mom 2024” award in the Norwegian capital. As she took to the stage to thank the audience for the award, she lifted her top to reveal her breasts, covered only by tassels for the nipples.
Jaffery, dressed in purple, was seen removing her blouse from her skirt, before thanking the crowd in an unconventional way.
With her top lifted, she also turned around to show the people behind her, prompting even more cheers from the audience and raucous applause from the hosts.
“It’s important that everyone feels free. If they want to deserve such an honour, they have to give their soul and not take themselves so seriously,” he told the crowd.
“It was a small contribution. If you want to win an award like this, you have to be committed and not take yourself too seriously.”

“Lubna is a self-confident, free-spirited and wonderful person who enthusiastically follows cultural events across the country,” Jonas Gar Stere, the Scandinavian country’s leader, said after the event.
“The same thing happened yesterday in Oslo and I think what he did was absolutely right.”
Pride director Joakim Aadland told Dagbladet: “I think it’s wonderful that we have a minister who is going all in and not afraid to put herself out there a bit more.”
“I’ve never seen the applause she received in the ten years we’ve been celebrating Pride. So it’s clear that the public appreciated Lubna’s gesture.”
