Homosexuality and the state in cold war Germany
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- By 1937, Nazi Germany had convicted tens of thousands of men under its anti-homosexuality statute and had begun sending gay men to concentration camps. Eight decades later, with the approval of eighty percent of the population, the German parliament ratified the right of gay marriage. How did this change come about? Looking past vague assumptions about the nature of liberal democracy and the spread of gay rights, this dissertation offers a historical interpretation of the relationship between gay people and the German states that existed between the end of the Second World War and the present. Based on oral histories conducted with period witnesses and files from ten archives in Germany and the United States, it unearths a convoluted past of state persecution and gay liberation efforts.
