Overview

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.

Spectacular tour. Not only interesting general history but lgbt inside knowledge that we wouldn’t get anywhere else. He brought us to historical sites and fun current places, like the Pink Christmas Market. Made the city come alive. I wish he had a tour in every city that we visit. Highly recommend
