- 2013 May 29, Lisa Röstlund, “Pell-Uno, 72: "Normen fortfarande fördömande"”, in Aftonbladet[1]:
- Själv har han varit utsatt för två oprovocerade övergrepp på 70-talet och hamnat på akutmottagningen.
– Då var gäng ute som skulle "knacka bög". Det var deras helgnöje, och det räckte med att man gick igenom en park så small det.- He himself has been the victim of two unprovoked assaults in the 70s and has ended up in the emergency room.
– Back then there were gangs out to [out that were going to] "knock gay." That was their weekend fun, and it sufficed to walk through a park to be assaulted ["... walk through a park, then it banged" (as in went bang – common (semi-)figurative usage, also used for car crashes and the like)].
- He himself has been the victim of two unprovoked assaults in the 70s and has ended up in the emergency room.
- 2013 September 21, Ivar Arpi, “"Knacka bög" ny rysk nationalsport”, in Svenska Dagbladet[2]:
- I Sverige kanske Pridefestivalen har blivit mindre viktig, i bemärkelsen att landet i dag inte präglas av samma mått av homofobi som under det 1980-tal som Jonas Gardells "Torka aldrig tårar utan handskar" skildrar. Ungdomsgäng som "knackar bög" förekommer inte lika ofta här. Motsatsen sker i Ryssland. Där uppmuntras "bögknackarna" av regeringen.
- In Sweden, the [Stockholm] Pride festival may have become less important, in the sense that the country today isn't characterized by the same level of homophobia as in the 1980s portrayed in Jonas Gardell's "Never wipe tears without gloves." Youth gangs that "knock gay" do not occur as often here. The opposite is happening in Russia. There, the "gay knockers" are encouraged by the government.
- 2018 September 7, Annika Strandhäll, “Vi är garanten för att SD inte ska få inflytande över dina rättigheter”, in QX[3]:
- Jag kommer från Göteborg och minns de fruktansvärda tongångarna under min uppväxt från en del unga inskränkta – och troligtvis rädda – män som skröt om att "knacka bög" i Bältespännarparken.
- I am from Gothenburg and remember the terrible language while growing up coming from some young, narrow-minded – and likely scared – men who bragged of "knocking gay" in Bältespännarparken [a part of the Kungsparken park in central Gothenburg].
- 2021 January 10, Flashback (forum), Vad hände med knacka bög?:
- Har knackat bög i min ungdom. Fullständigt idiotiskt tänker jag så här i efterhand. Har ingen böglatens och det hade nog inte mina vänner heller.
Har egentligen ingen bra förklaring annat än att vi stod upp för sedlighet och moral - mot dekadens och andra vidrigheter.- I have gay bashed in my youth. Completely idiotic is what I think now in retrospect. I have no latent homosexuality and my friends probably didn't either.
I don't really have a good explanation other than that we stood up for decency and morality - against decadence and other abominations.
- I have gay bashed in my youth. Completely idiotic is what I think now in retrospect. I have no latent homosexuality and my friends probably didn't either.
