A recent attack on a transgender man at a downtown club in Reykjavik has brought the attention to a broken legislative and constitutional framework protecting transgender people in Iceland. A new constitutional draft which was originally put forward by a  constitutional committee last year did not include sexual identity in it. Sexual orientation is included in the new draft but that is simply not enough. If this will be the end results, transgendered Icelanders will be left without much needed protection. 

Complains about noise is just prejudice in disguise says Gay 46 manager Ingi Rafn Hauksson. Gay 46 is currently Reykjavik´s only gay club which opened early February this year. "Since the club opened we´ve had complains from this one person who lives in an apartment building next to the club stating that the club brings too much noise to the neighborhood" said manager Ingi Rafn on local television tonight. "When this was not a gay club the very same person did not complain at all".
