LGBT-Denmark (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 LGBT-Denmark, the Danish National Association of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgender.

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 was born in 1967 and work as the chief editor of the membership magazine of the Danish Construction Association – an employer’s union and lobby organisation.
