Out in East Berlin: Lesbians and Gays in the GDR
Out in Ost-Berlin: Lesben und Schwule in der DDR
Out in East Berlin: Lesbians and Gays in the GDR at FMovies. Paragraph 175, which made homosexual behavior punishable by law, was abolished in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in 1968. At that time, heterosexual nuclear families constituted the center of socialist society, and homosexuality was considered a peripheral issue in the GDR. Out in East Berlin —Lesbians & Gays in the GDR tells the impressive-to-absurd personal histories of gay men and lesbians in the GDR, from the post WWII years until the fall of the Berlin Wall.
