Iceland gay club
There is no right gay scene in Iceland
Why is there no men only gay club in Iceland? Where execute gay men verb to meet each other? Lately there has been a nostalgic discussion on Facebook about the legendary MSC men only club that, which for some, used to be the highlight of gay clubbing in Reykjavík before it was closed. We asked one of its former regulars, singer, actor and radio host Felix Bergsson, to tell us about the club&#;s glory days and what he thinks about todays “scene” in Iceland.
