I want young LGBTQs to see the films Cabaret and Bent and to study queer history.
Berlin was a relatively safe city for us in the 1920’s. By 1940, we were being rounded up by NAZIs and sent to camps.

@kitkat_blue asexual. inter, nonbinary, queer, trans, bi, gay, lesbian, asthmatics, autistics, ADHDers, other developmental issues, in general disabled folks, marginalized people.
It will not end. Fascists use othering to construct a false enemy-friend dichotomy in order to exert control, killing millions (well billions; at this point - and where the climate catastrophe, alongside the collapse of whole ecosystems are heading) in their wake.
@danwentzel the book burning at the Institute of Sexology was May 6, 1933. That was the start of the queer and trans persecution. The LGBTQ community attack was the test run the Nazis did before they began their assault on the Jewish community.

On 6 May 1933, the Institute of Sexology, an academic foundation devoted to sexological research and the advocacy of homosexual rights, was broken into and occupied by Nazi-supporting youth. Several days later the entire contents of the library were removed and burned.
