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)

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.

I seem to recall a post that Hitler was for gays before he was against them.

The Nazi party literally began as a homosexual social club. It held it's first meetings in a homosexual bar called nürnberger bratwurst glöckl. (Can anyone translate that into English?)

Here is a picture of it that switches from Nazi era to modern times, and here is a link to the page where I found it.

Yes, the core of the Nazis was "gayness".

Did you live under the man? He DID establish concentration camps, extrajudicial executions, torture , religious persecution , forced labor and murdered some 200,000 people.

Sounds kinda familiar.

We're free people here on this site, we have no love for dictators .

Well... Except for one particular one. :)

I think Hitler tolerated “masculine” homosexuality for a time, at least. The head of the SA (Brown Shirts) was Ernst Roehm, a notoriously open homosexual. However, once Hitler had what he wanted, he killed Roehm and crushed the Brown Shirts.

There is a book called "The Pink Swastika" that outlines a great deal of continuing homosexuality in the Nazi party, especially among those in the SS and the concentration camps.

Some of the stuff you read in that book is sickening. The Nazis were *VERY* homosexual. Most of their leadership was, and many of their SS and SA people were.

They especially wanted homosexuals because they had no compunction about doing absolutely horrible things to people.

The book is well documented, and you can read portions of it online.

First, that whole gassing Jews thing but now this.

Adolph Hitler's National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party murdered 11.5 million PEOPLE in their various concentration camps. Only 6 million of them were Jews.

A few decades ago, everybody knew that.

when Seinfeld popularized the term

Because it's not "just entertainment". It was NEVER "just entertainment". Whether it's beer, soap, and breakfast cereal or an ideology, commercial "entertainment" is selling something.

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.

That's the wedge the faggots used to break into society and go after the children.

Sodomy should be illegal.

to fight the Reds.

And that is why the communists hated him beyond the grave. Leftists in "Big Entertainment" sneered at him after his death. That idiotic bit on SNL was leftist pro-communist propaganda.

Sorry, excuse him all you want. The man attacked the church as well as anyone else he didn't like.

He was a fascist thug and no one on this earth is going to convince me other wise.

If you’re going to go on about Lincoln stop it now.

If Lincoln had been a dictator the South would still be in ruins today.

There’s also evidence that the Nazis were heavily into the occult.

I respect your point of view. I just don’t think it’s the state’s business. And enforcement is nigh unto impossible anyway.

It was set back economically at least 100 years. As for ruins, i'm told some of it was. Atlanta comes to mind. The rest was at the very least economically ruined and many were left destitute.

As for burning it all down, they still wanted it's production, so they weren't going to do that, but they did deny everyone the right to vote and they imposed ridiculous Federal regulation on everything while stealing everything they could get their hands on.

I think Nazis took the same view of Homosexuality that Islam does. Pitchers are ok, catchers, not so much. And as long as you were a “macho” homosexual, as opposed to effeminate, they were ok with that.
