Det Norske Forbundet av 1948

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Det Norske Forbundet av 1948 (short: DNF-48; German : The Norwegian Association of 1948 ) was a Norwegian LGBT legal organization. It was founded in 1950 and merged with other LGBT organizations in 1992 to form what is now Fri - foreningen for kjønns- og seksualitetsmangfold .

history

The association was founded in May 1950 as the Norwegian branch of the Danish LGBT organization Forbundet af 1948 and was initially called Forbundet av 1948 - Norsk seksjon av Det Danske Forbundet af 1948. Rolf Løvaas was elected first chairman. In 1952, the Norwegian organization finally separated from the Danish one and in 1953 it was renamed Det Norske Forbundet av 1948 . At that time the organization only had about 50 members and only trustworthy and discreet members were accepted.

Kim Friele , the board 1966-1970 the DNF-48 and then served as Secretary until 1989, said in 2015 in an interview, is that the organization of their early days yet very reserved exhibited and many members of aliases used. After all, Friele was the first chairwoman who increasingly sought the public with her real name.

In November 1992 the DNF-48 was merged with other LGBT organizations to form the Landsforeningen for lesbisk og homofil frigjøring (German: National Association for Lesbian and Homosexual Emancipation ). This was later renamed Landsforeningen for lesbiske, homofile, bifile og transpersoner (German: National Association for Lesbians, Homosexuals, Bisexuals and Transpersons ). Today the association still exists under the name FRI - Foreningen for kjønns- og seksualitetsmangfold .

activity

The DNF-48 campaigned for homosexual acts between men to be decriminalized, which finally happened in 1972. Members also fought for laws that prohibit discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation and enable same-sex couples to be partners . In 1977, homosexuality in Norway was finally removed from the list of mental illnesses, something the DNF-48 had previously fought for. Another area of ​​application was, among other things, education about HIV infections.

In a brochure from 1951, the organization introduced the term “homofili” (German: homophilia), which is common in Norwegian today, for the negative word “homoseksualitet” (German: homosexuality).

In 1965 Kim Friele took part in a radio program of the Norsk rikskringkasting , where homosexuality was discussed publicly on the radio for the first time.
