Think Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray in Carberet. Think West Hollywood, Greenwich Village and Provincetown and the Castro, known as hotbeds of homosexuality.
But they are nothing like the uninhibited urban gay sexual scene and vast homosexual subculture that flourished in Berliin under Germany's Weimar Republic.
Sexual experimentation between the same sexes and medical advances of helping genders ‘trapped within the wrong body’ in Germany more than one hundred years ago shaped our understanding of gay identity today.
The city's liberal years - before the rise of Hitler - are detailed in a new book, Gay Berlin.
The science of ‘transsexuality’ was founded in Berlin at the Institute of Sexual Science where the first male-to-female surgery was performed. The words ‘homosexual’ or ‘transvestite’ were German innovations. Male prostitution, homosexual bars and nightclubs, cabarets populated by gay men, lesbians and transsexuals flourished in a wild, incomparable sexual subculture that was exciting yet dangerous.
It was in Berlin where scientists concluded that ‘same sex love was a natural, inborn characteristic and not merely the perversion of a ‘normal’ sexual tendency’, author and scholar Robert Beachy writes in his compelling book, Gay Berlin: Birthplace of a Modern Identity by Knopf Publishers.

A d the Nazis did it as well. Ernst Rohm and many of the the SA were homosrxuals or bisexuals.
Many in the NAZI leadership were closeted homosexuals that put on a front of anti-homosexuality to fool the masses as documented in, “The Pink Swastika”, by Scott Lively
It is not unusual for a society to quickly go from decadent license to tyranny.
This was depicted in Ingmar Bergman’s “The Serpent’s Egg.” There is a scene in a degenerate caberet/bordello. Several young men in brown shirts come in to close down the place. The owner tells them to get out. They bang his head on the bar and close down the place.
We don’t want to use anything from the Weimar Republic as a model for our existence, or anything from its successor.
San Fran,too.
Yes, the Nazi hierarchy was swarming with active homosexuals.
What there was, though, was bias against and contempt for effeminate men. The physically and emotionally dominant men of that persuasion ran rampant.
The Nazis ended it.
We are all Nazis now.
Hitler was a homo.
Tucker Carlson said a few times that we were becoming the Weimar Republic, but didn’t really explain his comment. Probably one of the things that got him kicked off the air.
I seem to recall a post that Hitler was for gays before he was against them.
There is some convoluted history with the German National Socialist Workers Party. It’s not what we have been told. For starters, they were Left-wing. Only the communists could be construed as further to the left.
If the American left ever feels secure in their power, they too may turn on the LGBT+ community. Communist Russia and the Soviet Union may have been Jew friendly at first. However, it did not last. The left will say and do anything to get power. Then it can easily reverse course.
Transgender Experiences in Weimar and Nazi Germany.
Before 1933, Germany was a center of LGBT+ community and culture, with several renowned organizations serving and supporting trans and gender non-conforming people. Hitler’s Nazi government, however, brutally targeted the trans community, deporting many trans people to concentration camps and wiping out vibrant community structures.
As transgender people are now increasingly targets of discriminatory legislation and hate, join the Museum for a program exploring these stories and experiences prior to and during the Holocaust.
You get Hitler because of the Weimar Republic…..
Especially when said society is cursed with legal narcotics. Fools.
A cheesy and transparent article to call conservatives Nazis.
Germans accepted the Nazis
Indeed the same is happening to America now the name has been changed to protect the guilty to Progressives and Liberals.
MEDIA APPROVED
Our elites hate Trump and the MAGA movement because populism gives the everyday person a say in how America runs.
Hitler’s Aristocrats: The Secret Power Players in Britain and America Who Supported the Nazis, 1923–1941 Kindle Edition
Susan Ronald, acclaimed author of Hitler’s Art Thief takes readers into the shadowy world of the aristocrats and business leaders on both sides of the Atlantic who secretly aided Hitler and Nazi Germany.
Hitler said, “I am convinced that propaganda is an essential means to achieve one’s aims.” Enlisting Europe’s aristocracy, international industrialists, and the political elite in Britain and America, Hitler spun a treacherous tale everyone wanted to believe: he was a man of peace. Central to his deception was an international high society Black Widow, Princess Stephanie Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst, whom Hitler called “his dear princess.” She, and others, conspired for Hitler at the highest levels of the British aristocracy and spread their web to America’s wealthy powerbrokers.
Hitler’s aristocrats became his eyes, listening posts, and mouthpieces in the drawing rooms, cocktail parties, and weekend retreats of Europe and America. Among these “gentlemen spies” and “ladies of mystery” were the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Lady Nancy Astor, Charles Lindbergh, and two of the Mitford sisters. They were the trusted voices disseminating his political and cultural propaganda about the “New Germany,” brushing aside the Nazis’ atrocities. Distrustful of his own Foreign Ministry, Hitler used his aristocrats to open the right doors in Great Britain and the United States, creating a formidable fifth column within government and financial circles.
In a tale of drama and intrigue, Hitler’s Aristocrats uncovers the battle between these influencers and those who heroically opposed them.

Historians once referred to the 1890s as the “Gay 90s”. Doubt they use that description any more.
Perhaps the reason the Germans accepted the Nazis, or allowed them to seize power at least, was because they had become morally bereft.
////////
lets change the wording on that. how does that sound to you.
Perhaps the reason the Americans accepted the woke, or allowed them to seize power at least, was because they had become morally bereft.
That is correct, unfortunately.
I’m just praying that won’t happen!
