Schwul gleich links?“
Die Geschichte schwuler Befreiung in den 1970er Jahren ist bisher hauptsächlich aus dem Blickwinkel radikaler oder links-alternativer Aktivisten erzählt worden, mit einem Fokus auf Gruppen wie der Gay Liberation Front in New York oder der Homosexuellen Aktion Westberlin. Um dieses Narrativ zu differenzieren, analysiert der Autor Kulturen des Konservativen in der Schwulenbewegung der 1970er Jahre durch einen Vergleich der Bundesrepublik mit den US…
States of Liberation
In States of Liberation, Samuel Huneke explores the entangled, crooked and often surprising paths of gay life and gay rights in the two German states. Compellingly, the author shows that gay liberation is historically contingent and should not be unproblematically woven into success stories extolling the merits and superiority of capitalist liberal democracies. After all, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), unlike East Germany, kept the Nation…
The Ambivalence of Gay Liberation
This book explores ways of thinking, feeling, and talking about homosexuality in the 1970s, an influential decade sandwiched between the partial decriminalization of sex between men in 1969, and the arrival of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the early 1980s. Moving beyond divided Cold War Berlin, this book also shines a light on the scores of lesser-known West German towns and cities that were home to a gay group by the end of the 1970s. Yet gay liberatio…

Sex, Shame and West German Gay Liberation
This article contributes to a reassessment of gay liberation by focusing on how matters of sex and desire featured in the gay press and the gay movement in 1970s West Germany. Gay liberation has often been viewed through an affirmative lens, contrasted favourably with the supposed shame-filled conformism of the postwar homophile movement. I problematize this perspective by analysing ambivalence about homosexual desire and gay (male) sexual practi…
Gay activism in Modell Deutschland
The SPD's 1976 election slogan, Modell Deutschland (‘the German model’) became a catch-all term for all that the New Left rejected about the Federal Republic. This article will focus on how gay activists attempted to situate cases of gay oppression as part and parcel of wider political oppression against the New Left, and how the invocation of the National Socialist past was crucial to this aim. Gay activists' efforts culminated in the gay moveme…
