Christian Kampmann

Christian Peter Georg Kampmann (July 24, 1939 in Hellerup – September 13, 1988 on Læsø) was a Danish writer and journalist. His novels are mainly about the middle and upper classes in the post war time and until the 1980s. The books are mainly about people who has some problems finding their place in the world and their feelings, e.g. homosexuality. Kampmann was bisexual himself, although he was married to piano player Therese Herman Koppel for many years and had two children.

Kampmann was involved in the Danish Gay Liberation Front from 1975 and he was editor of the journal Sexual Policy from 1975 to 1978. In 1988, he was killed at his beach house on Læsø by his cohabitant and lover: Danish author Jens Michael Schau.[1]

gollark: You could actually do something about homelessness or whatever. Most people could. Capitalism mostly aggregates people's preferences into results, ish. But most people do not seem to care about poverty/homelessness enough to act on it, beyond sometimes saying that if you go along with [DRASTIC CHANGE TO ENTIRE ECONOMIC/SOCIAL/POLITICAL SYSTEM] the whole problem will magically evaporate.
