| dbo:abstract | Coos Huijsen (* 20. März 1939 in Den Haag) ist ein niederländischer Autor und Politiker der Christelijk-Historischen Unie. (de) Jacobus "Coos" Huijsen (born March 20, 1939 in The Hague) is a Dutch historian, writer, former educator, former Dutch politician, and gay rights activist. He was the first parliamentarian in the world (1976) to openly express his homosexuality. Huijsen who was a member of the Dutch House of Representatives in 1972–1973 and from 1976 to 1977. In his first term in office, he was a member of the Christian Historical Union, which he left because the party would not support the left-leaning Den Uyl cabinet; in his second term, he sat as an independent member under his own banner of Groep-Huijsen. As a member of the House of Representatives in 1976, Huijsen came out as gay, making him the country's first openly LGBT politician and the first known openly gay member of a national legislature in the world. In 2016, Huijsen published an autobiographical account of his coming-out, in the context of a changing Dutch society in the 1970s: * Homo Politicus. De eerste parlementariër ter wereld die uit de kast kwam ("Homo Politicus. The First MP Worldwide Who Came Out of the Closet" - autobiography) In this book, Huijsen describes how he participated in the Dutch gay rights movement in the years after his coming-out, when he co-founded the Foundation for Free Relationship Rights (Stichting Vrije Relatierechten). The goal of this foundation was to make the gay community address the larger public and the political establishment, by appealing to their sense of humanity. Gay rights were human rights, and, as such, were to be put on the political agenda. It paved the way to legal equality for same-sex relationships, and, finally, in the introduction of same-sex marriage in the Netherlands (2001). After leaving parliament, Huijsen worked as a school teacher and director. He also switched parties again, becoming a member of the Dutch Labour Party in which he was active until 2000; he left that party because he found the party put too little work into education and gay emancipation. He then pursued a career as a historian, with a specific interest in the cultural-historical context of democracy. His first book, Nog is links niet verloren ("The left is not yet lost"; 1982) described the widening gap between the elites of progressive political parties and their popular, traditional base. Later, Huijsen wrote multiple books about the relations between the Dutch national narrative and the royal dynasty, the House of Orange, including: * De oranjemythe, een postmodern fenomeen ("The Orange Myth, a postmodern phenomenon"), * Beatrix: De kroon op de republiek ("Beatrix, crown on the republic"; 2005) and * Nederland en het verhaal van Oranje ("The Netherlands and the story of Orange"; originally a PhD thesis, University of Amsterdam, 2012). Huijsen is married and lives with his husband in Amsterdam. (en) Coos (Jacobus) Huijsen (Den Haag, 20 maart 1939) is een Nederlandse historicus, schrijver, oud-politicus en homoactivist. Huijsen werd begin jaren zestig politiek actief en profileerde zich als exponent van de progressieve vleugel van de CHU. In 1972 werd hij een korte periode Tweede Kamerlid voor deze partij. Toen het CHU het linkse Kabinet-Den Uyl weigerde te steunen vormde Huijsen, toen hij in 1976 door opvolging in de Tweede Kamer kwam, een eenmansfractie. Op dat moment kwam hij publiekelijk uit voor zijn homoseksualiteit, waarmee Huijsen de eerste openlijk homoseksuele parlementariër ter wereld werd. Op het moment dat hij in 1977 de Tweede Kamer weer verliet, stapte hij over naar de PvdA. Rond de eeuwwisseling zegde Huijsen zijn PvdA-lidmaatschap op. Over zijn coming-out en zijn politieke carrière schreef Huijsen het boek Homo Politicus. (nl) |
