Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com In glbtq history, Berlin is legendary for its thriving subculture during the Weimar Republic (1919-1933), that brief moment when it was the center of the homosexual emancipation movement, and for its role as capital of Nazi Germany. A reunited Berlin has concentrated on remembering its history to create a more liberal present. Berliners recently elected an openly gay mayor and participated in the struggle to gain legal recognition of gay relationships.

    LGBTI* a Diverse, Cosmopolitan, and Tolerant Berlin

    © Fabian Böttcher Fabian © LGBTI* A diverse, cosmopolitan, and tolerant Berlin 1 LGBTI* A diverse, cosmopolitan, and tolerant Berlin Berlin embodies the concept of diversity Berlin is one of the most exciting cities in Europe and the gay and lesbian scene is flourishing like never before. Over the course of the 20th century, Berlin developed into a centre for homosexual life and same-sex love. Berlin lives diversity in every respect and there is not just a single "gay district" in the city. Indeed, there is a lot for the LGTBI* community to discover in many city neighbourhoods. The LGBTI* scene has flourished here for more than a century Since the 1920s, the scene has flourished in Berlin and the city has established itself, albeit with interruptions, as a gay capital. In 1897, Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee in Berlin as the first gay and lesbian human rights organisation ever. In the 1920s, there was a rampant gay and lesbian nightlife scene across Berlin that attracted artists, actors, and creative minds from around the globe. After the destruction of the active gay and lesbian cultural scene by the Nazis, the homosexual scene remained underground until 1971, when Homosexual Action West Berlin was founded. The first gay pride parade (Christopher Street Day) in Berlin was held in 1979. Now, up to 750,000 people take to the streets of the city each year to mark CSD. The monthly magazines Siegessäule and Blu provide information about Berlin's LGBTI* scene. 2 LGBTI* A diverse, cosmopolitan, and tolerant Berlin Berlin neighbourhoods flying the rainbow flag The LGBTI* scene is at home in Berlin's rainbow of diverse districts.

    Not for Sale Or Redistribution

    When States Come Out In the last two decades, the LGBT movement has gained a momentum that is arguably unprecedented in speed and suddenness when com- pared to other human rights movements. This book investigates the recent history of this transnational movement in Europe, focusing on the diffusion of the norms it champions and the overarching question of why, despite similar international pressures, the trajectories of socio- legal recognition for LGBT minorities are so different across states. The book makes the case that a politics of visibility has engendered interactions between movements and states that empower marginal- ized people – mobilizing actors to demand change, inf uencing the spread of new legal standards, and weaving new ideas into the fabrics of societies. It documents how this process of “coming out” empow- ers marginalized social groups by moving them to the center of polit- ical debate and public recognition, and making it possible for them to obtain rights to which they have due claim.redistribution Phillip M.
