LBL (Denmark)

My involvement as a gay activist began at the Lesbian and Gay Radio in Copenhagen, Radio Rosa. I later became Chairman of the Association running the radio and was then elected member of the National Board of LBL, the Danish National Association of Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals.

For the last 5 years I have been a member of the Board of LBL International and thereby involved in ILGA-Europe and bilateral cooperation with other organisations in both Eastern and Western Europe.

In the Social Liberal Party I am the founding co-chair of the LGBT-group. I am also a member of the party executive committee, I am chair of the EU working group and is a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Furthermore I am chairman of the Communication Group of the Danish Association of Journalists.

I have a master’s degree in History and Middle East Studies and spend parts of my studies in the Netherlands and in Istanbul. All my professional life I have worked as a communication officer and journalist.

I am 39 years old and work as the chief editor of the membership magazine of the Danish Construction Association – an employer’s union and lobby organisation.
