congress in June 2008, the organization's name was changed from Landsforeningen for lesbisk og homofil frigjøring (English: The National Association for Lesbian and Gay Liberation) to LLH, which had formerly been the abbreviation. LLH now stood for Landsforeningen for lesbiske, homofile, bifile og transpersoner (English: The National Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People). At the national congress In 2016, the organization's name was changed to FRI – foreningen for kjønns- og seksualitetsmangfold. In February 2014, the Amnesty International and the National Association for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender People called on the Norwegian government to modify current laws and practices, guarantee the termination of the sterilization requirement, allow for gender recognition to be accessible to everyone, and allow transgender people to be able to access the health treatments and procedures they wish to be done, all in an attempt to attack the lack of rights for transgender people in Europe. FRI's Oslo branch hosts the event Oslo Pride every year. Anti-LGBT+ hate Anti-LGBT groups have actively campaigned against Oslo Pride on social media, portraying “Pride ideology” and/or gender ideology as a threat to traditional values. Notably, the leader of anti-trans group Women's Declaration International (WDI) is investigated for hate speech against an employee of FRI. Professor Elisabeth L. Engebretsen has analyzed the social media activities of the anti-gender movement in Norway and noted that the groups and individuals associated with WDI, such as anonymous Twitter users targeting FRI, are part of a "complex threat to democracy" that "represent[s] a reactionary populist backlash to basic human rights principles," and that they seek to "demonize the very basics of trans existence." 2022 attack against Oslo Pride In June 2022, Oslo Pride, the local LGBT pride event hosted by the Oslo branch of FRI, was targeted by a gunman who committed a mass shooting at sites associated with the event. The police is investigating the incident as a terrorist attack. As a result, Oslo Pride was canceled that year. The head of the Norwegian government's Extremism Commission, Cathrine Thorleifsson and Amnesty International, linked the attack to a pattern of increased attacks on LGBT+ people in Norway and Europe, both on extremist online forums and open social media platforms. Activities The organization works for equality and against all forms of discrimination based on gender or sexuality in Norway and in the rest of the world, as stated in the organization's policy paper.
