Lesbian couple are Norway heroes (heroines)
A lesbian couple who live on an island neighbouring the one where Norwegian gunman Anders Behring Breivik massacred dozens of students on Friday saved around forty people by picking them up in their boat.

Hege Dalen and her partner Toril Hanse made four trips back and forth in their small boat, picking up injured, bloodied and scared young people.

---snip ---

“Since they couldn’t fit everyone into the boat all at once, they returned to the island four times. They might have saved as much as forty people from the clutches of the killer.”

4. Any chance they were Arab Muslim lesbians?
That would make this story just a little bit more awesome.

7. This made me smile. Thanks :)
I needed that right now. Yesterday I met a grieving mother - her 17 year old son was one of those killed by Breivik at Utøya.
