Berlin was a liberal hotbed of homosexuality and a mecca for cross dressers and transsexuals where the first male-to-female surgery was performed - until the Nazis came to power, new book reveals (2014)

Historians once referred to the 1890s as the “Gay 90s”. Doubt they use that description any more.

Ironically, it appropriately describes the 1990s.

The 1990s was the Golden Age of indie filmmaking, which saw the release of many sexually "edgy" films, including many gay friendly films.

It was the decade when Seinfeld popularized the term, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" -- signalling that "polite society" no longer tolerated "homophobic" comments.

This is not new news....in my Time-Life WW2 books this was noted to be an issue in Berlin.

And how it was dealt with by the Nazis.

BTTT

[rephope]

Against gender re-assignment surgery? = Hitler.

Ding ding ding. And we have a winner.

Yes, this will be the angle attempted yet if one researches and exposes the medical experiments in the camps, the same spirit of mutilation and destruction will be found.

Perhaps the reason the Germans accepted the Nazis, or allowed them to seize power at least, was because they had become morally bereft.

Back in the 1920s you had Communist Antifa members rioting in the streets, beating up any who opposed them (sound familiar?). The liberal authorities refused to enforce the law. The middle class was afraid of communist revolution.

Finally a man emerged, a decorated war veteran who organized his own groups to fight the communists in the streets. The regular people cheered him and elected him to high office to fix the mess that Germany was descending into.

That man was named Adolf Hitler.

BTW. A lot of the “women” for sale in the windows...aren’t women.

Yes this about Berlin was well known. It is today reportedly seeing a substantial resurgence of the same hedonistic homosexual conduct

I personally am okay with letting adults do as they wish with their free will choices in life, so long as it is consensual of course.
I figure it’s none of my business

But they must be kept away from children!!

Think Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray in [sic] Carberet
.
they are nothing like the uninhibited urban gay sexual scene and vast homosexual subculture that flourished in [sic] Berliin under Germany's Weimar Republic.

The author is an ignoramus. Cabaret WAS set in Weimar Republic Berlin.

Spain also was also suffering Antifa Red Terror in 1934-35. It also looked to a decorated war veteran to fight back. His name was Francisco Franco.

[packagingguy]

This is not new information. Maybe it is for clueless people in the press.

[jmacusa]

Berlin never really warmed up to the Nazis.

It was too cosmopolitan in it's outlook and for the most part considered the Nazis, especially the Storm Troopers to be a bunch of rough necked louts and country bumpkins.

[jmacusa]

Franco was a fascist.

[samadams2000]

And there you have it. Support child mutilation or your on Team Hitler.

[AppyPappy]

This bowl of Ramen was good until the Nazis came to power

[skeeter]

No but they didn’t stop them either.

Very similar to today.

[Angelino97]

Technically, Franco was a Falangist, not a Fascist. Although perhaps not even that.

Some say Franco wasn't too ideological. A conservative authoritarian and a pragmatist, who united the anti-Communist factions -- Falangist, Carlist, Monarchist, etc. -- to fight the Reds.

[jmacusa]

He was a totalitarian thug who was sympathetic to the Nazis and sent the Blue Division to fight in Russia.

It was only long after he was dead that it was safe to say you opposed him. I don't imagine Franco is well thought of Guernica.

[BitWielder1]

So widespread debauchery and moral rot makes a city prime for invasion and takeover.
Who knew?
This is why the "progressive" forces have been pushing it on us for well over a century.

Not much of a Big Reveal.

Didn’t everybody who knows anything about the period sort of know this already?
