Our talented chairperson Philipp has, unfortunately, decided to put volunteer work on a break and step down from the post as chairperson for LGBT+HUSET (the LGBT+HOUSE).

Philipp has made a huge effort on behalf of the association, and you could say that he stops at the top. In the last few years, he has succeeded in getting a municipal operating grant, spaces, and many collaborations with LGBT+ Denmark, Aarhus municipal, FO-Aarhus, Kulturgyngen, Kromosom and many others.  

Philipp has also started and spearheaded several new initiatives. And as if that was not enough, he also helped LGBT+HUSET (the LGBT+HOUSE) secure the association award at Danish Rainbow Awards. With all this he has played a central part and it has taken an enormous amount of work. And all this has happened during a period of lockdowns in Denmark. We are now starting to open again and Philipp hands over a LGBT+HUSET (the LGBT+HOUSE) that is in such a good and stable condition that he feels like he can step down and prioritise his time differently. We fully understand this, even though we are sorry to lose as great an asset as Philipp. We want to say a huge thank you for all the work you have done. You should have won the award for firebrand of the year!

The board of LGBT+ Huset will miss Philipp, his commitment, and his hard work for the association. We wish him good luck and hope to see him as a volunteer in the house. Though, he has got to enjoy how much more free time he has gotten. Philip says thank you to everyone in the association, volunteers, members, and collaborators. He looks forward to meeting everyone on a different note outside the role of a chairperson.  

The board has chosen to appoint deputy chairperson, Michael Sørensen-Bech as the new chairman of LGBT+HUSET (the LGBT+HOUSE)
