(SWEDEN) - Nonagenarian former top Swedish diplomat Sverker Åström has quit as presenter of a television programme about gay life in Sweden, after complaining that parts of the show were "vulgar and tasteless". The former Swedish Ambassador to the UN and chief civil servant at the Sweden's foreign ministry came out as gay in 2003, at the age of 88. He was named Gay of the Year in 2004 and published a new Swedish translation of Michelanglo's sonnets in 2005.
