Actually the Word that was used was deviant and He didn't say it, a female guest on the program said it and she kept trying to make him say it. He said that it wasn't natural out of a biological Point of view, they were discussing sexuality and if it was biological or environmental, his reasoning was that because of the way we are created the natural is for us to be attracted to the opposite sex because it take's a man and a woman to procreate. He also said in that same discussion that he didn't think there was anything wrong with being gay. Also, this was over a year ago and it wasn't a big deal until he won the national contest and was almost immediately declared a favorite and then the media dug this up and people who don't know him or have even seen that program started spreading around that he is against gay people, you who are spreading this are all guilty of cyber bullying. Also, this was a show where the host and the guest's wore having dinner and drinks so everyone was a bit tipsy.
But even according to your own comment, he has said 'it's unnatural to be gay'. And it's anti-gay, because every gay person in the world knows that it's inherited from birth. Saying 'it's okay to be gay' does not undo that in any way, because it's simply his personal opinion. It's like saying, junk food makes you sick, but it's okay to eat junk food.
@@Earth098 Rather wierd to reply to such an old comment but ok...it is not His opinion it is a fact or do you know of a case were a man conceived a child with another man or a woman with another woman? We are biologically created to mate and procreate with the opposite sex but that does not mean there is something wrong with not being able to do that.
@@MerimaTropoja Gay men and women can reproduce if they want (and some do if they were closeted and married to an opposite sex partner) But the only thing is that they don't find opposite sex attractive. You can't start a relationship with someone if you don't find that person attractive. That's the rationale behind it. Not just sex, but attraction.
Oh dear, mostly ESC fans/people are so negative towards the Swedish entry every year, complains our songs are is too similar to another songs, sounds to much as ABBA, so all haters please go some other place! Love, peace and understandings and see you in Stockholm 2016 and hopefully with lovely Petra Mede as our host :p
André Gustafsson I was kind of surprised of the hate towards Sweden and that was the reason I voted this year (of course for Sweden). I watch already Eurovision since 1996 and fell in love with the beautiful song Den Vilda by One More Time. Since then almost every year liked the song of Sweden. Sweden is almost every year my holiday destination and 4 years ago I started learning Swedish. Sverige
André Gustafsson not me i loved Sweden this year can't talk about before because it's the first year i watched the full thing not only Belgiums performance but you brought ABBA so can't get any better!! I absolutely loved Sweden this year even if he was a homophobe (WHICH HE ISN'T!!!!!!!!!) It's about the music not about the person he did great and really diserved his victory!!!! Congrats -kisses-
André Gustafsson People are just completely butthurt towards Sweden because you guys have won several times. And I have to say, you deserved all your victories.
I am an English gay guy and Mans has definitely not offended me and I don't think he has done anything wrong.....it wasn't even said in my language so I'm sure it was translated out of context.....I know from my own experience what homophobia looks like when I see it and this guy is def not homophobic.....over here the gutter press take English spoken interviews out of context, so they would definitely exploit a Swedish interview to sell newspapers.....I hate when the press witch hunt an artist and abuse them by deliberately taking what they've said out of context, they did a similar thing to Chrissie Hynde last year and it made me so angry.....at least with Mans the gay community defended him.....when Chrissie Hynde spoke about her experience of abuse and warned of the dangers of not taking responsibiity for your own safety it was actually other WOMEN who turned against her.
If he did not winn, nobody would loose one word about. What can he do, to proof, he is not homophobe untill say sorry and try to explain! look forward , the future will show.
When it comes from someone who isn't famous and they afterwards apologize it is okay and people can learn from their mistakes. When it comes from celebrities they never learn and always have the same opinion. Not saying that he meant anything bad in the first place but in general people have an obsession for not forgiving and believing that famous people never makes mistakes?
He said that homophobic people are abominations and unnatural, he is of the opinion that it's not a natural state to be gay (which it definitely is, homosexuality exists in hundreds of other animal species). It doesn't matter if he worded it weirdly or not, he still thinks that homosexuality is unnatural (and he really emphasized the word "unnatural" saying that all men have a natural attraction to women and vice versa). And playing the "I have gay friends"-card isn't an excuse to say homophobic stuff. He's apologizing because he got caught and not because he actually doesn't have that view on homosexuality.
Double Standards here. So many people saying "Everyone makes mistakes" How many straight people would be up in arms if he's have said that being straight was an abomination??? We'd never hear the end of it.
Dan Frost *Sighs* He used "deviation" not abomination. It's a mistranslation. Not speaking in your native language isn't easy, and I make the same mistakes as well when I speak english irl.
IceCreamSplat Sorry my mistake "Deviation" however, if he is bi-sexual etc etc , I re-iterate...why would he say that on national tv. Nothing against the guy but at least be honest, his manager has no doubt told him to apologise in case it harms his career, its all about "Staying Popular"
Never heard of him before Eurovision and the only time we'll hear of him again is when he performs at the next Eurovision in Sweden. Yet another Eurovision one-hit wonder. None of them except ABBA we're ever heard of again outside Sweden. I like Sweden & I liked his song, but the only thing he's sorry about is that people have long memories. If he's "Sorry" for what he said, then why did he say it, and, on national TV? Enjoy your 15mins of fame across Europe coz that's all it will ever be.
Dan Frost I have to disagree with you ;-) I 've heard about him long time before, actually in my country he have lot of fans ;-) Personally I'm one of them. I love his old songs like the Eurovision one. He seems to be good person even if he said something like that, well people make mistakes. Give him a chance.
Justysiek34 As I said, I like Sweden & It was the best song. My issue is that I dont think for a second that he's sorry for what he said. Now that he's won Eurovision (which has a huge gay following) he's "Sorry" it's called Damage Control. Good luck to him but as I also said, only ABBA were ever heard of outside Sweden, none of the others...Herrrys, Corola, Charlotte Nilsson, Loreen went on to International Careers, which is a shame coz I love them all.......
what he said was pure facts & he clearly said that is was absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. people overreact so damn much. I really don't think he need to apologize for what he said, because he was right!
This is sooooooo BORING!!! The guy has apologised profusely over and over for his mistake in choosing the wrong word. It all seemed to blow up when he won Melodifesivalen, but funnily enough, he appeared at the gay Gala in Sweden back in 20014, naked and swinging from a wrecking ball! Quite a strange thing for a 'homophobe' to be doing dont you think? People need to get a grip....
Yo personalmente no le creo dice que tiene muchos amigos gays,cuando su canción heroes va en contra del bullying . Ya que el él decía que no tenía muchos amigos de pequeño pues con tu pensamiento no me extraña es una persona que no se le puede creer no lo dice de corazón , y por cierto eurovision lo gano david guetta XD
Wow pewdiepie is not the only Swedish person who has fucked up in the past and is ashamed of it now, though pewds has done it so many times that he is used to it by now lol
Body language? Over-emphasis on NOT being a homophobe? It really is not hard to discern that he IS a homophobe. He doesn't really care about our (gay) rights, for him he just needs to "pretend tolerance" in order to make his way in the entertainment business without actually connecting with the LGBT struggle. I just hope we haven't entered an age where we have to lie about who we really are to succeed.
Carsten B This is why people don't like you. Bitches. If he didn't play up his apology you'd be saying the exact same thing, that he is obviously a homophobe because he is not sorry enough. Also, don't comment on what he said if you don't understand Swedish, the translation "abomination" is well off. The real meaning is more like "anomaly".
+Carsten B Please don't get me wrong, but may I ask: why does it bother you so much (by you meaning members of the LGTB community) if anyone considers being gay as not normal. From a biological perspective, the normal would be that everyone is straight and giving birth to many babies (or contributes to it :P ). Of course humanity works differently but still it takes a man and a woman to reproduce. I think that every single straight person who says: "I believe that being gay is as natural as being straight" is absolutely lying, so you are right that he is concerned mainly about his job. (I agree with your comment btw) But, that does not mean he is a homophobe, either. Just because he (probably) perceives gay as less natural it does not mean that he has a problem with gay people or that he doesn;t love his gay friends or that he doesn't support their rights. I support gay marriage and I do think being gay is an anomaly. But I believe in the right to the anomaly :P I think that if you stop taking things personally, when they are not meant in a bad way, then fewer people will be lying to you. And that applies to all of us, in any situation..Then we will find the truth as society..and freedom. And if you think about it, the guy has been bullied for a wrong word he used. I'm glad he is not gay though, I can fantasize him better..maybe he is bicurious.
He could just give any reason without bringing out his "gay friends". I hate it when that happen. Friends are just friends, no matter what gender sexuality race etc. Dont call them my gay friend, my black friend, my trans friend. They're not your collections to be sort in some categories. They're your friends.
Come on! Everybody makes mistakes, he seems genuine, and we all deserve a second chance
c'mon people say stupid things and get misunderstood sometimes. i mean he's had a hard time about it already so forgiveness is the next step..

I believe him!!! Wow I was never I fan of his song before but all of a sudden I have became obsessed with him. I think its his looks.
+Aine Doc Me af oml but I liked his song from the first moment. Hes back on TV in UK soon too
Aw. Heros shirt was cute. Class act.

Abomination is WAAAYYY worse than the word he said. The word he used is a synonym for unusual - deviation. Abonimation just means awful.
He said sorry he a good guy
I wouldn’t care what he is, I love him regardless
Oh dear what a bummer of a thing to say and then to back track on it,
Love that guy aw.. he's so sweet ^.^
Getting "I'm not homophobic I swear! I got gay friends!!!" vibes from this

He should have made out with the cute reporter to prove he's not a homophobe xD
The ending part LMAO
This is sooooooo BORING!!!

It wouldn't be the first time that a Swedish esc winners been allegedly homophobic.
Thats a pretty religious connotation
Måns should get it on with a really hot guy
Cool Shirt, Id wear that no worries. A misuse of word gets him in the shit, peeps need to lighten up.

i believe him! :)
jiyongx same
Aw Poor Mans :/
I think he just lie to keep his popularity.
0:48 'Most of my friends are gay' and laughed. Even he realized how stupid and unsuccessful comment was that.
Leave the guy alone!!! I mean you can tell he's the furthest thing from a homophobe...he made a mistake once...so what?!

Can someone just flip that guy already?
Looks like he changed, hope those are his actual beliefs not just PR stuns.
Of course most his friends are gay: if you're gay, a hot guy like him is the Holy Grail of Eurovision ;)
🤦♂️
that is just wrong to call person homophob
You have to imagine 🤦🏼♂️
he was so ashamed lol 😂😂😂 they musn't judge you because you don't like gay people that is your decision!!!!

Because he is homophobic and using his gay token
Gay icon
changes his shoes during jumping :( but anyway that's much better than to continue to spread that homophobic trash.
