Why choose this Munich tour ?

The third gender is not a theory and not a lifestyle. On the other side, religion and religious morality are theories, ideologies and yes, they are lifestyles.

With this perspective, we walk through Munich and discuss LGBT-issues with society, history, the churches and also the Nazi-Era.

Surprising but true that Islam had homosexuals accepted in their history. The Catholics also have blessed knights and their fellows in the middle age.

“I would rather be a cold warrior than a warm brother,” said Bavarian Prime Minister Franz Josef Strauß loathing about homossexuals.

Sad but true. This documents a lot about the third gender in Bavaria. Prejudices came through belief, fear or politics and even with the difficult progress, we are far from the freedom that we enjoyed in our society 2000 years ago.

In my tour of Munich, I talk about some issues related to the persecution and acceptance of homosexuals in Bavaria.
Personalities like Freddy Mercury and King Ludwig II will be part of it.

Even with a very liberal King, like Maximilian I or with Ludwig II even Bavaria could not stand against conservative ideology. Karl Heinrich Ulrichs spoke out what some disliked to hear, already in the XIX century.

Hide and seek with the local police another chapter on the life of many who lived under the claws of religion and false moral, but a lot of soldiers left some interesting stories here.

Yes, we had them.

Thomas Mann and his family.

The persecution of homosexuals is not a local problem, but everywhere, where religion dictated moral rules. Let’s talk about it.
