In recent years, Rindal has emerged as a visible figure in the queer field, both in his hometown of Trondheim and on a national level. He is the founder of the organization Skeivt opprør (Queer Rebellion), which describes itself as a grassroots queer project led by independent activists.

Rindal grew up in Hedmark but has lived his entire adult life in Trondheim. He describes himself as a full-time activist and a part-time church verger.

In an excerpt from the interview, Rindal recounts how he has twice had to flee for his life—first during the Utøya attack in 2011, and again in central Oslo on June 25, 2022.
