After Weimar; Beyond Hirschfeld? Nostalgia, Hagiography and What Comes Next
The Weimar Republic looms large in the histories of queer liberation and sexual reform movements, both in Europe and transnationally. The promise of increased openness and plurality that shaped public discourse on a variety of issues in Germany’s first democracy was especially pronounced in the realms of sexual politics and gender identities. Within this progressive environment, the Institute for Sexual Science, established in Berlin in 1919, bec…

Was the Homosexual Made White? Race, Empire, and Analogy in Gay and Trans Thought in Twentieth‐Century Germany
Andrew Wackerfuss. Stormtrooper Families
One autumn night in 1928, a group of stormtroopers, members of the Nazi Party militia (Sturmabteilung [SA]), met a group of their enemies, men from a pro-democracy militia.

As it happened, the militiaman was not the first person Gerhold had shot. The stormt…
Lesbianism, Transvestitism, and the Nazi State
Did the Nazis persecute lesbians? In recent decades, their murderous campaign against gay men has drawn growing public attention. But historians are still at odds over the question of whether lesbians were persecuted as well. This article argues that historians ought not to limit themselves to the notion of “persecution” and rather ought to consider risk, that is, how lesbians, “transvestites,” and gender-nonconforming people ran pronounced, part…
“The Book Was a Revelation, I Recognized Myself in it”
In Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s, stories in the lesbian press suggested that women became lesbians by reading about lesbianism. Oral histories confirm that reading was central to the formation of lesbian identities, the recognition of lesbian desires, and the building of lesbian subcultures.
