Contents Summary
The German Democratic Republic’s penal code de-criminalized homosexuality already by 1968. But the “workers’ and farmers' state” did not exactly welcome its gay and lesbian citizens with open arms; their sexuality was taboo and they were often marginalized from public life. Thirteen moving biographies depict the private and political developments which led to opposition against the state apparatus. The founders of East Berlin’s LGBT movement, the ‘terror lesbians’ from Prenzlauer Berg, gay Communists and church groups – they all hoped for a society in which they could be open about their sexuality. With personal histories and never-before-seen archival footage this film is an unprecedented look at the gay rights movement in the GDR.
