A tragedy that shocked the nation celebrating the LGBT Pride March, Norway celebrated Sunday with love for all, paying tribute to the victims of a shooting near a gay hostel in central Oslo.

Emotional mourning was observed in Oslo Cathedral the next day as the investigation continued to find the exact motives of the suspect, who is described as a weak-minded Islamist. Two were killed and at least 21 were injured in what became known as the Cold War. During the ceremony, the altar of the religious building was decorated with rainbow colored flags and a variety of flowers. The head of the Norwegian Protestant Church, Olav Fixe, tweeted, “Fragmentation cannot kill love.”

As Norway marks the fiftieth anniversary of the lifting of the ban on homosexuality, the pastor recalled that the Church has long opposed equal rights for same-sex couples. “We sometimes reluctantly learn that the diversity between us is a gift, a richness, and that the rest of us who are homosexuals are capable of cultivating a love that is incompetent,” he said.
