Helmut Graupner
Helmut Graupner is a lawyer in Vienna, considered a leading advocate in LGBT European rights. He has been president of the Rechtskomitee Lambda since its foundation in 1991.[1]
From 2005, he has been the Austrian representative on the European Commission on Sexual Orientation Law (ECSOL).[2] Graupner co-edited the 2005 book Adolescence, Sexuality, and the Criminal Law with Vern Bullough.[3]
In 2016, Graupner was awarded the Decoration of Merit, the highest honor awarded by the state of Vienna.[4]
In 2017, Graupner pursued a case for the rights of five same-sex families that resulted in Austria's highest court ruling that banning same-sex couples from marriage was discriminatory.[5][6] The first same-sex marriage in Austria was for Graupner's clients in December 2018, with same-sex marriage available to the general public at the start of 2019.[7][8]
