   • 2013 March 12, “Barn hetsas till "bögtester" [Children are goaded into "gay tests"]”, in Sveriges Television‎:

     Skolbarn hetsades att utföra så kallade bögtester: De suddar på sin egen hand tills det går hål och häller handsprit i såret.
     
     En förälder har anmält en skola i Göteborg med barn i åldern 9-11 för en lek som enligt anmälaren är vanlig bland barnen. Det är vissa av barnen som hetsar andra att utföra ett så kallat "bögtest" inför varandra. "Testet" går ut på att den hetsade personen ska sudda med ett suddgummi på sin egen hand tills det går hål på skinnet. Sedan ska personen gå ut på toaletten pch [typo – should be "och"] hälla handsprit i såret. Och alltihop ska göras utan att börja gråta.

     School children were goaded into performing so-called gay tests: They rub their own hand until the skin ruptures ["until there goes hole"] and pour hand sanitizer into the wound.
     
     A parent has reported a school in Gothenburg with children aged 9-11 for a game that, according to the parent ["according to the reporter"], is common among the children. Some children goad others into performing a so-called "gay test" in front of each other. "The test" consists of the goaded person having to rub their own hand with an eraser until the skin ruptures. Afterwards, the person has to go to the bathroom and pour hand sanitizer into the wound. And everything has to be done without starting to cry.

   • 2013 March 13, Jimmy Fredriksson, “"Jag trodde det var en 70-tals lek [sic, more properly "70-talslek"] som dött ut" ["I thought it was a 70s game that had died out"]”, in Expressen‎:

     "Bögtestet" har förekommit i olika varianter bland skolelever i Sverige i generationer.
     På Youtube^[sic] finns till och med en film om hur det går till.
     - Jag trodde att det var en sjuttiotalslek som dött ut, men så ringde de från skolan och bad om hjälp, berättar Kaj Heino på RFSL i Göteborg.
     
     Den^{[sic – meaning det]} vanligaste är att bögtestet går ut på att gnugga med ett suddgummi på handen så att det går hål och börjar blöda.
     Förr skulle salt gnuggas in i såret men nuförtiden är det tvättsprit som svider ordentligt.
     Det gäller att tåla smärtan.

     "The gay test" has has occurred in different variations among school children in Sweden for generations.
     On YouTube, there is even a video on how it is done.
     - I thought it was a seventies game that had died out, but then they called from the school and asked for help, Kaj Heino at RFSL in Gothenburg tells.
     
     Most commonly ["The most common (thing) is"], the gay test involves rubbing one's hand with an eraser so that the skin ruptures ["so that there goes hole"] and starts to bleed.
     In the past, salt was to be rubbed into the wound, but nowadays it is rubbing alcohol, which stings a lot.
     You have to endure the pain ["It applies (to the situation, as in, something you have to manage is) to stand the pain" – "Det gäller att ..." can be thought of as "You have to ..." / "You gotta ..."].

Long widespread in Swedish elementary schools.
