Today in Labor History May 15, 1897: Magnus Hershfield and colleagues formed The Scientific-Humanitarian Committee in Berlin to campaign for the rights of LGBTQ people. It was the first LGBTQ rights organization in history. The organization formed just four days before Oscar Wilde’s release from prison. Hershfield was an outspoken advocate for the rights of gender and sexual minorities. They were based in Hershfield’s Institute for Sexual Sciences until the Nazis destroyed the institute in 1933. They provided legal support for people being charged under Germany’s anti-sodomy laws and lobbied to abolition the laws entirely. Albert Einstein, Herman Hesse, Thomas Mann, and Tolstoy all signed their petitions. They also had the world’s first trans medical clinic. And they performed the world’s first sexual reassignment surgeries, for Karl Meir Baer, in 1906, and Lili Elbe, in 1930-1931.

Today in Writing History May 10, 1933: The Nazis staged massive public book burnings, beginning in Berlin, with students from Humboldt University, destroying thousands of titles. German poet, Heinrich Heine, said back in the early 1800s, "Where one burns books, one will soon burn people." They burned books written by Jewish, half-Jewish, communist, socialist, anarchist, liberal, pacifist, lgbtq and sexologist authors. The first books burned were those of Karl Marx and Karl Kautsky. Many of the books that were burned were seized from the library of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, director of the Institute for Sexual Science (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft), which the Nazis raided in Berlin on May 6, 1933.

IMO:

  • if you're a non-Merkan & you intend travelling to the hideous Merka hellhole, you're an idiot
  • if you're an LGBTQIA non-Merkan & you intend travelling to the hideous Merka hellhole, you're a masochistic idiot

Today in Labor History May 6, 1933: the German Student Union, organized by the Nazi Party, attacked the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin, destroying nearly everything inside, and looting everything else. Four days later, its extensive library was destroyed in a massive public book burning, along with books by leftists and Jews. The Institute was the first LGBTQ health center in the world. They provided gender affirming health care to trans patients and performed the first sexual reassignment surgeries. Dora "Dörchen" Richter (the first known person to undergo complete male-to-female sex reassignment surgery) may have been killed in this or a subsequent attack on the institute. Visitors to the Institute, prior to the Nazi raid, had included René Crevel, Christopher Isherwood, Harry Benjamin, Édouard Bourdet, Margaret Sanger, Francis Turville-Petre, André Gide and Jawaharlal Nehru. Magnus Hirshfield, the creator and director of the institute, who was both gay and Jewish, managed to escape, to France, where he died of a heart attack in 1935. For an interesting read on this event and the decades leading up to it for the LGBTQ community in Weimar Germany, check out “Gay Berlin: Birthplace of a Modern Identity,” by Robert Beachy, 2015.

The fine tuning Conservatives need is to completely reject fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia/transphobia, and Islamophobia. In other words, root out the bigotry and Trumpy fascist base, ditch the convoy creeps and conspiracy theorists. Stop pandering to hate, if you really want to be a big tent party. #bigotry #conservatives #hate #conspiracytheorists #convoycreeps #fascists #sexist #racist #homophobia #transphobia globalnews.ca/news/11161609/ca
