LGBT Danmark is Denmark's largest and oldest political organisation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other people who break with norms of gender and sexuality. Founded in 1948, it is a democratic, member-based association largely run by volunteers. It works for equal rights, safe communities and social change at local, national and international levels. Its activities include free counselling services, including peer-to-peer counselling, legal advice and counselling for families, social events and support groups across Denmark, youth communities, school teaching on gender and sexuality, and advocacy towards politicians in parliament, regions and municipalities. The organisation also supports LGBT organisations abroad through partnerships in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southwest Asia, North Africa, Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. It runs the LGBT Biblioteket, a library of LGBT literature, and its secretariat is based in Copenhagen. Donations are tax-deductible in Denmark for people with a Danish CPR number.
