If you understand German, there is an informative site about homosexuality in East Germany: https:\/\/www.bpb.de\/geschichte\/zeitgeschichte\/deutschlandarchiv\/265466\/schwule-und-lesben-in-der-ddr<\/a>.<\/p>\n A holdover from Prussian law, Paragraph (\u00a7) 175<\/a>, the anti-homosexuality law, enters unified Germany’s law code.<\/p>\n Nazis intensify \u00a7175 and \u00a7175(a)<\/a>. Supposed infractions against the law are now easier to prosecute for a wider variety of offences.<\/p>\n The German Democratic Republic<\/a> (East Germany) is founded.<\/p>\n East German courts limit the application of \u00a7175. Prosecution should occur only in cases affecting the success of socialism.<\/p>\n \u00a7175 is removed from East German law. The age of consent for homosexual acts is also set at 18 years of age.<\/p>\n The Homosexual Interest Community of Berlin (HIB, Homosexuelle Interessengemeinschaft Berlin) is founded.<\/p>\n Lesbians in the Church, a social and activist group, begins commemorations at memorial sites, including the site at the Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp.<\/p>\n \u00a7151 is abolished. The ages of consent for homosexual and heterosexual acts are equalized.<\/p>\n Coming<\/em> Out<\/em> premieres at the Kino International.<\/p>\n A list of some important events in the history of homosexuality in Germany and East Germany<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14197,"featured_media":79,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14197"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58\/revisions\/261"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/comingout\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}1871<\/h3>\n
