In 1919, the first pro-gay movie was made. A year later, it was banned. -

I’m haunted by this
MerryXMan
I’m so thankful for those that came before and fought the fight, so I might live some some semblance of freedom.

Gay has been around since way back then?

If you want to fight tyranny, find books/media/movies that were banned by tyrants. Post them for everyone to see.

Almost 50 years after Stonewall too

personally a fan of no censorship period especially when it's the People sp;eaking against their government (here germany yeah?)

Reminds me of the school nurse checking for nits, many moons ago.

I'm glad Hirschfeld died of a heart attack in 1935 instead of the many other horrible ways he could have died.

Lol cirque de so lame. I gotta remember that one.
KingXizor
It's frustrating that people didn't have as severe an issue with homosexuality before, well fuck, before Christians.
HOAMTH
And we don't even know if that's a "recent" development because not more was documented or the documents didn't survive until today.
dasklaus
And I'd bet the degree that Christianity had an issue with it has changed a lot with time and place.
rbudrick
40 copies were produced. So does the full film still exist?
ArcadiaBerger
And now the same kind of pall of darkness is falling on the Western nations again 100 years later.
The book burnings begin again soon...
ArcadiaBerger
...Hide books & videos where the burners won't find them. Your stash may hold the last copy of a lost treasure of the 2200s.

Excellent video on Wiemar German expressionist film and Queer History. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNGvga0QKZg

I came here to mention this video as well, glad to see someone else posted it before I could!

Really minor point: Weimar, the phonetic values of E and I are swapped between german and english. ei (de) = aye (en), ie (de) = ee (en).

the famous nazi book burning photos are from the night they destroyed hirschfields clinic, please lets not let this happen again

On this post got a Republican ad for MI claimin our Gov wants "drag queens & sex ed" in every classroom. Bigotry is still a fuckin problem.

Anytime anyone fearmongers about sex ed, remember that sex ed is a powerful tool against child sexual abuse and draw the obvious conclusion.

So strange that "sex ed" is so spooky to some US citizens. Halloween costume idea?!!

@ImgurAds this needs addressed if true.

It was from Tudor Dixon's campaign. Been seeing it all over my ads.

I am not surprised, the Germans did a lot of research into what we refer to today as “non binary” and transgender. Unfortunately the
Glasma
institute was burned down in 1933 by the Nazis
dasklaus
That is the Hirschfeld institute that's mentioned by the post. Incidentally the start of book burning in Germany.
Millenelmonster
Crazy how forward this was in its time, horrifying to think 20 yrs later gays were exterminated in Germany
fennecbutt
We're being executed in Iran, still. And plenty of other places in the world.
spookyactionatadistance
Crazy to think 100 years later gays are still exterminated. Or that they get called groomers, that they routinely suffer abuse, humiliation.
dickblack12
Like states trying to pass anti trans legislation now in the US. Never forget that it can always go downhill in a hurry.
TinyBadger101
The iconic picture of Nazis burning books? That was Hirschfeld's work. 30+ years of LGBTQ+ history turned to smoke.
TheFastpaws
This will happen in America if the GOP are not stopped.

Imagine some morons storm your capitol and all you do is "we can't find them and if we find them we tell them to not do this again."
macgerdo
"but they can still become president!" because this are the rules.

And here, more than 100 years later, the same battles are being fought.

Not really pro-gay films, but these sorts of scenarios wouldn't survive censorship of the Code era.
MrsUnderstoop
I love how straight Christian people think so long and hard about what other people are doing in the privacy of their homes.
B99Reactions
I mean what Christian people do in the privacy of their own homes, has been leaking into society and affecting/hurting multiple people
swedeonamoose
I mean they still have wet dreams about teh days when the church was pretty much the state, so medieval europe.
