message: Does such a book actually exist? I was unable to find any information on it anywhere.
:Hello Anonymous, quite right, the book doesn't exist as far as I could fathom. The title was added last November by 24.60.163.16, who calls himself Tonganoxie Jim and has a bit of a reputation of vandalism. I'm going to remove the reference. Soczyczi 10:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: German-Jewish in lead

message: It really is a mistake to think that Adolf Brand and Friedlaender were among the founders of the WhK (SHC).   Brand had his own magazine, Der Eigene (1896-1932), and later his own movement, Die Gemeinschaft der Eigenen. Brand not always opposed Hirschfeld, but he certainly never was much attached to the SHC. Friedlaender (1866-1908) donated a lot of money to the WHC before he started his own short-lived movement in 1906, but he was not one of the founders. The birth of the SHC has been told by Hirschfeld in a graphic way (in his autobiographical series Von einst bis jetzt): each of the four founders, Hirschfeld, Oberg, Spohr and Bülow put some gold coins on a table, Bülow twice as much as the others (he was a nobleman and presumably rich). That was the founding of the SHC, on May 15, 1897. Soczyczi 21:57, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been googling around and looking through Wikipedia trying to find sources on the material about Hirschfeld's early opposition to Paragraph 175. It's mentioned in a few places here on WP, but it isn't sourced in any of them! Can anyone help out?
Dybryd (talk)
Hello Dybryd, if you don't find it on the net, try books. Some easy accessable books are Who's Who in Gay & Lesbian History (Vol. I) by Robert Aldrich & Garry Wotherspoon (Routledge, 2001), with a succinct and informative article about Hirschfeld, and The Homosexual Emancipation Movement in Germany, a little book by James D. Steakley (1975), which though old may tell you everything you want to know. Also, the bibliography by Steakley mentioned in the literature section has a first publication of Hirschfeld against Paragraph 175 in 1897 - it's the Parliament petition, the first and foremost goal of the SHC.

thread_title:  Sources? 

message: User:James Cantor removed a statement in the intro stating Hirschfeld is a noted advocate for gay and trans rights, asking in the edit summary "Is there an RS to support a different way to express this?" After I added an RS to support that exact way to express this, James Cantor added the author's name in the body of the text. We typically identify an author by occupation, so I added the word "scholar." James Cantor claimed scholar is a "peakcock" term and removed it. Here's Goltz' web page at DePaul University. I am open to other ways of identifying him, but scholar seemed the simplest and certainly not a peacock term. This all feels very WP:POINTy, but I am seeking additional opinions on if we should name Goltz, if we should identify him by occupation, and if so, how we should describe him. Comments welcome.

message: Is there any more information on his personal life? Buried in the movie section is a mention of one man who became his lover. But did Hirschfeld ever marry or have children? Any long-term relationships? I'm just curious about his domestic situation and it seems like this bio is mostly focused on his professional achievements and has very little about the man himself. 63.143.236.244 (talk) 21:39, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

message: This article is filed under "German Socialists", and Hirschfeld is referenced in places such as Socialism_and_LGBT_rights#Germany as being a socialist himself, in addition to being a big influence on how Socialists perceived homosexuality. Within the article body there is currently no reference to his connection with the SPD. I would add over the information from this article, but it appears that no direct source in given in the other article either. Could anyone help find one so the relevant information can be moved over?
The Hirschfeld section in the other article: 
"The leading figure of the LGBT movement in Germany from the turn of the 20th century until the Nazi government came to power in 1933 was undoubtedly Magnus Hirschfeld. Hirschfeld, who was also a socialist and supporter of the Women's Movement, formed the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee to campaign against German Penal Code Section 175 which outlawed male-male sex. Hirschfeld's organisation did a deal with the SPD (of which Lassalle and Schweitzer had been members) to get them to put forward a bill in the Reichstag in 1898, but it was opposed in the Reichstag and failed to pass. Most of Hirschfeld's circle of homosexual activists had socialist politics, including Kurt Hiller, Richard Linsert, Johanna Elberskirchen and Bruno Vogel. After the toppling of the German monarchy, the struggle against § 175 was continued by some social democrats. The German Minister of Justice Gustav Radbruch, member of the Social Democratic Party, tried to erase the paragraphe from the German penal law. However, his efforts were to no avail."
