The Government of Norway provided the following answer to this question:
"In 1981 the Norwegian Penal Code was amended, and a new section 135A was
added. The section has been incorporated into Part II, Felonies.
The wording is as follows: 'Anyone who threatens, insults or exposes any
person or groups of persons to hatred, persecution or contempt on account of
their religion, race, colour or national or ethnic origin by means of a public
utterance or by other means of communication brought before, or in any other
way disseminated among the general public, shall be liable to fine or
imprisonment up to two years. The same applies to anyone levelling such
insults against a person or group on account of their homosexual inclinations,
way of life or orientation. Anyone who incites to, or aids and abets in, the
commission of an offence referred to in the first paragraph, shall be
penalized in the same way'."
