The Kejne affair was a political affair in Sweden in the 1950s. In 1948, Karl-Erik Kejne (1913–60), a Swedish Lutheran pastor, publicly accused groups of gay men of threatening him and making attempts on his life. This occurred after he had tried to put an end to gay prostitution in Stockholm, Sweden. In March 1950, Kejne published a sensationalist article in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter claiming that the prostitution of underage boys was rampant in the working class districts of Stockholm, being patronised by wealthy and well connected gay men whom the police did not dare arrest.

| - Die Kejne-Affäre war ein politischer Skandal in Schweden in den 1950er Jahren, der zum Teil der Eulenburg-Affäre ähnelte. Die Affäre, die etwa zwanzig Rechtsprozesse umfasste, war die erste und größte der Rättsröta-Debatten. Hauptthema der Affäre war die angebliche Gefahr, die von geheimen „homosexuellen Ligen“ ausgehe, welche bis in die obersten Kreise der Gesellschaft reichten und die Behörden korrumpierten. Die Affäre hatte einen großen Einfluss auf die Einstellung der schwedischen Gesellschaft zur Homosexualität, die in zunehmendem Maße verurteilt wurde. (de)
- El escándalo Kejne fue un escándalo político en Suecia en la década de 1950, similar al Escándalo Harden-Eulenburg. El escándalo, que consistió en unos veinte procesos judiciales, fue el primero y mayor debate del . El principal tema del escándalo era el supuesto peligro que podía surgir de una mafia homosexual secreta, en la que estarían implicados los círculos más elevados de la sociedad y corrompería a las instituciones. El escándalo tuvo una gran influencia en la actitud de la sociedad sueca frente a la homosexualidad, que fue rechazada cada vez más. (es)

- Kejneaffären var den första och största av de så kallade rättsröteaffärerna under första hälften av 1950-talet. Den har fått sitt namn efter pastor Karl-Erik Kejne (född Johansson 20 maj 1913 i Karlstad, död 26 december 1960). I pressen framförde Kejne och hans meningsfränder från våren 1950 anklagelser om att det i Stockholm fanns en ”homosexliga” som organiserade manlig prostitution och som skyddades av ett högt samhällsskikt.

- The Kejne affair was a political affair in Sweden in the 1950s. In 1948, Karl-Erik Kejne (1913–60), a Swedish Lutheran pastor, publicly accused groups of gay men of threatening him and making attempts on his life. This occurred after he had tried to put an end to gay prostitution in Stockholm, Sweden. In March 1950, Kejne published a sensationalist article in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter claiming that the prostitution of underage boys was rampant in the working class districts of Stockholm, being patronised by wealthy and well connected gay men whom the police did not dare arrest. This theme was quickly picked up by several evening papers, and reached the proportions of a witch-hunt. There was widespread belief in Kejne's conspiracy theory about a "homosexual mafia", supposedly controlling several criminal gangs of gay men. When a commission was appointed to examine Kejne's allegations, he accused the commission of being infiltrated by the same "homosexual mafia", leading to a new commission, presumably made of straight men, to investigate the first commission. Kejne accused the attorney of corruption, specifically by order of Cabinet minister Nils Quensel. Kejne claimed that Quensel was involved in the groups himself. Kejne also claimed that Quensel ordered the police to send infiltrators posing as gay men to his house, in order to prove that Kejne was himself gay. Homosexuality had been decriminalized in Sweden in 1944. A commission was formed to address these issues. In 1951, when they could not clear Quensel of all charges, he chose to resign as a Cabinet minister. The author Vilhelm Moberg wrote at length about the Kejne affair, and also brought the Haijby affair to public knowledge. (en)

Påståendena, som rönte stor uppmärksamhet innan de 1951 kunde avfärdas, fick allvarliga konsekvenser för många som misstänkliggjorts. Efter att författaren Vilhelm Moberg engagerat sig i saken på Kejnes sida utmynnade skandalen i att också Haijbyaffären uppmärksammades. (sv)
