        Is he just making a very funny joke? I don't know enough about him to know if it's in his character to make a trolling statement

      I have my super secret, alpha, tight mate, trusting good friend, extra inner circle. And I'll bottom for those alpha guys because if men don't help men out, then who will.

    An old tradition. See for example Adolf Brand (1874–1945)

    To this new group, male-male love, in particular that of an older man for a youth, was viewed as a simple aspect of virile manliness available to all men; they rejected the medical theories of doctors such as Magnus Hirschfeld who found that a gay man was a certain type of person, the intermediate sex.[5] The GdE was a sort of scouting movement that echoed the warrior creed of Sparta and the ideals of pederasty in Ancient Greece, and the ideas on pedagogic eros of Gustav Wyneken.[5] The GdE was heavily involved with camping and trekking. They occasionally practised nudism – the latter then common as part of the Nacktkultur ('culture of nudity') sweeping Germany. In the 1920s this would develop into the Freikörperkultur under Adolf Koch.

    The Gemeinschaft opposed Hirschfeld and the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee's stance that homosexuality existed on a continuum with femininity. Brand and the Gemeinschaft instead believed that homosexuality was the epitome of manliness and brotherly love, to be expressed by any man. The group tended towards elitism who based their ideas of attractiveness around Germanic racial purity. Their views towards women were often misogynistic.

      It's really concerning how much this parallels. Like, the early 20th century had its own queer liberation movement, and a part of the rise of fascism was in response to it. The books Nazis burned included texts on gender and sexuality - but if you try and talk about that with most people, they think you're crazy. It's virtually unmentioned in the english-speaking histories.

        To my understanding it's only in the last 10-15 years that Hirshfeld, Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, WhK etc are being recovered even in Germany.

        It is so egregious. At the site of the Opernplatz book burning, which is the nazi book burning etched into our collective memories by the nazi-produced filmreels (they were bragging!), there is now a commemoration: Empty Library created in the 90s:

        Show

        With a plaque reading

        "Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen."

        ("This was but a prelude; where they burn books, they ultimately burn people").

        Nothing here to suggest that the specific target was chosen due to contributions to the liberation of LGBTQ++ people, that it was primarily motivated by hatred of gay, trans, and gender non-conforming people. Literally just participating in the erasure set in motion that day.

        (Also I really have to say that the tragedy of this event isn't that they burned books as in published works which exist elsewhere. but that they burned thousands of documents which were totally unique. The Institute contained the world's largest collection of LGBTQ++ culture and in-depth first person accounts of LGBTQ++ life around the world from all walks of life. It's just my little hobby horse but I think it oughtta be considered a destruction of primary documents, not a book burning. We lost not a library, but an archive.)

        Sorry for being so vigorous in my agreement... I concur the split is worth looking at and understanding because it became a sort of template for a pattern that would keep happening over and over again in LGBTQ++ communities, each generation having to go through it anew. The ones who embrace gender variation vs the ones who eventually become fascists. (Also they had another split on the subject of criminalizing sex workers which sadly Hirschfeld was on the wrong side of due to his class affiliations, but he lost and the org as a whole made the right decision. But then unfortunately the nazis took power so everyone lost.)

          don't apologize! It's good to show enthusiasm for a topic, especially one that's been chronically overlooked like this one! meow-hug

    I, too, would like to defeat the LGBTQ+ agenda worldwide by having members of the same sex in my inner circle provide me with physical release. I just have to find them first... sicko-fem yes-hahaha-yes-l

    The way to not get distracted by women is to have sex with your male friend. But in a totally not gay way ok?
