If you are you just might be a gay person. And we love you for it! But you know who wouldn't love you for it? Hitler. And you know who has ties to his Nazi party? Beebop band ABBA's own Frida Lyngstad. Time and circumstance came to reveal that she is the daughter of a Nazi officer who, along with many others, was spreading his seed around Norway in the hopes of creating a master race.

If you're an ABBA fan, you have something special to look forward to.
