Coos Huijsen (born March 20, 1939 in The Hague) is a former Dutch politician, who was a member of the 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. Shortly before leaving the House of Representatives in 1977, 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.〔("Harvey Milk's legacy" ). ''Washington Post'', May 21, 2014.〕 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, publishing several books on the Dutch monarchy, including: * ''De oranjemythe, een postmodern phenomeen'' ("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). ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coos Huijsen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
