These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:03,036 --> 00:00:06,988 IT IS NOT THE HOMOSEXUAL WHO IS PERVERSE, BUT THE SOCIETY IN WHICH HE LIVES 2 00:00:07,408 --> 00:00:10,830 A film by Rosa von Praunheim 3 00:00:14,515 --> 00:00:16,022 Are you from Berlin? 4 00:00:16,852 --> 00:00:19,210 No, it's my first time in Berlin. 5 00:00:19,459 --> 00:00:20,869 Do you like it here? 6 00:00:21,191 --> 00:00:23,151 It's too early to say. 7 00:00:23,934 --> 00:00:25,729 Do you already have a room? 8 00:00:25,936 --> 00:00:29,222 - I'm staying at a hotel. - Hotels aren't comfortable in the long run. 9 00:00:29,785 --> 00:00:32,118 When I travel, I prefer to stay with friends. 10 00:00:32,341 --> 00:00:34,880 And when they come to Berlin, they stay at my place. 11 00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:42,223 I have a small apartment, not far from here. 12 00:00:42,796 --> 00:00:45,112 Is it hard to find an apartment around here? 13 00:00:45,352 --> 00:00:48,640 I guess it's always hard if you don't know your way around. 14 00:00:49,157 --> 00:00:50,868 But I was lucky... 15 00:00:51,504 --> 00:00:53,591 Not like with other things. 16 00:00:54,174 --> 00:00:56,282 The truth is, I'm very lonely. 17 00:00:56,907 --> 00:00:59,776 I could walk forever, just talking to you. 18 00:01:00,356 --> 00:01:03,699 Being on your feet all day, you must be pretty tired by now. 19 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:05,958 I don't live far from here. 20 00:01:06,646 --> 00:01:08,784 We could have a cup of coffee. 21 00:01:22,792 --> 00:01:26,803 You have such beautiful hands... such soft skin... 22 00:01:27,423 --> 00:01:30,010 At first I didn't have the courage to talk to you. 23 00:01:30,521 --> 00:01:32,795 But when you looked deep into my eyes, 24 00:01:33,074 --> 00:01:36,005 so gently and tenderly, you encouraged me. 25 00:01:36,725 --> 00:01:38,895 I'm so glad you came along. 26 00:01:39,635 --> 00:01:41,982 It's so nice to hold you in my arms. 27 00:01:42,942 --> 00:01:44,841 I'm often alone and lonely. 28 00:01:45,157 --> 00:01:48,046 You can't imagine how much I long for a true friend. 29 00:01:48,651 --> 00:01:52,082 But it's hard to find someone... sincere. 30 00:01:53,043 --> 00:01:54,566 I like you, my boy. 31 00:01:54,686 --> 00:01:56,840 I'm so glad we've met. 32 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,745 You seem so natural and honest. 33 00:01:59,865 --> 00:02:01,401 That's rare. 34 00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:04,419 Most guys are callous and phony. 35 00:02:04,933 --> 00:02:08,949 Speaking of love while already thinking about the next guy. 36 00:02:10,222 --> 00:02:13,140 I've been let down many times, believe me... 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,586 But I never stopped looking for a true friend. 38 00:02:18,465 --> 00:02:20,656 Gays don't want to be gay. 39 00:02:21,219 --> 00:02:22,826 They don't want to be different. 40 00:02:23,005 --> 00:02:27,956 They want to live as kitschy and bourgeois as the average citizen. 41 00:02:28,366 --> 00:02:30,828 They long for a home 42 00:02:31,187 --> 00:02:34,423 where they can live with an honest and faithful friend 43 00:02:34,674 --> 00:02:38,592 in a cohabiting relationship. 44 00:02:39,177 --> 00:02:43,550 The ideal partner has to be clean, honest, and natural. 45 00:02:44,117 --> 00:02:46,777 A pure, lively boy. 46 00:02:47,055 --> 00:02:50,702 Kind and playful... like a German shepard. 47 00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:56,633 Gays demand each other to be aesthetes, to care about their appearance. 48 00:02:56,939 --> 00:03:01,214 It makes them proud and distinguishes them from the rest. 49 00:03:01,579 --> 00:03:05,776 Condemned as sick and inferior by the bourgeoisie, 50 00:03:06,104 --> 00:03:09,116 they try to be even more like them, 51 00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:11,603 in order to wear away their feeling of guilt 52 00:03:11,723 --> 00:03:14,607 with an excessive amount of middle-class virtues. 53 00:03:14,727 --> 00:03:18,915 They're politically passive and conservative, 54 00:03:19,444 --> 00:03:22,958 in gratitude for not being beaten to death. 55 00:03:23,342 --> 00:03:30,093 It's not the homosexual who is perverse, but the situation in which he lives. 56 00:03:30,213 --> 00:03:32,638 Gays are ashamed of their nature. 57 00:03:32,758 --> 00:03:38,652 For centuries, christian upbringing has taught them they're nothing but pigs. 58 00:03:38,772 --> 00:03:42,866 Hence, they escape this dreadful reality 59 00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:46,761 into a romantic world of kitsch and ideals. 60 00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:50,174 They have glossy dreams 61 00:03:50,294 --> 00:03:57,128 about someone who'll help them escape their daily hardships 62 00:03:57,685 --> 00:04:01,065 into a world of love and romance. 63 00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:03,869 A homosexual relationship, 64 00:04:04,211 --> 00:04:07,182 as much as both partners want it, 65 00:04:07,563 --> 00:04:09,590 is doomed to fail. 66 00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:14,596 They hide like criminals, forced to start their relationships 67 00:04:15,133 --> 00:04:18,282 by having sex without foreplay. 68 00:04:18,597 --> 00:04:23,809 Pure sex ignores the partner's individual needs. 69 00:04:24,623 --> 00:04:27,895 It merely serves as an object of one's own lust. 70 00:04:28,145 --> 00:04:32,309 With a bit of luck, this condition is mutual. 71 00:04:33,177 --> 00:04:39,248 But it's not enough to establish a satisfying relationship between two people. 72 00:04:44,618 --> 00:04:47,773 Clemens desires Daniel and his boyish body, 73 00:04:48,474 --> 00:04:51,536 which, in Clemens' eyes, pleasantly differs through it's firmness 74 00:04:52,078 --> 00:04:54,914 from the soft curves of a woman. 75 00:04:56,125 --> 00:05:00,146 As long as he can remember, he's always been attracted to men. 76 00:05:00,870 --> 00:05:03,766 He loves Daniel's boyish, shy behavior 77 00:05:04,459 --> 00:05:06,203 and his unspoilt nature. 78 00:05:07,903 --> 00:05:10,932 Daniel struggles with a feeling of sin, 79 00:05:11,466 --> 00:05:15,208 which, caused by his strict upbringing, lies heavily upon him. 80 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,474 He won't dare to look at Clemens... 81 00:05:19,241 --> 00:05:20,647 because he likes him a lot... 82 00:05:21,503 --> 00:05:22,937 which confuses him... 83 00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:26,790 and he doesn't even know why. 84 00:05:28,423 --> 00:05:33,339 Clemens's love for Daniel, and the satisfaction of his touch, 85 00:05:33,798 --> 00:05:36,192 give him a feeling of purity... 86 00:05:36,542 --> 00:05:40,222 the beauty and purity of a man-on-man relationship. 87 00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:44,597 To prove it, he'd love to throw open the windows 88 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,199 and show the whole world how beautiful 89 00:05:48,492 --> 00:05:50,449 love between two men can be. 90 00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:10,088 I'm so happy, Daniel. 91 00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:11,451 Me too. 92 00:06:11,887 --> 00:06:13,710 I don't want to let you go. 93 00:06:14,545 --> 00:06:17,287 Do you think we'll stay together? 94 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,546 All of this is new, 95 00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:23,099 and I didn't know it would mean that much to me 96 00:06:23,458 --> 00:06:24,809 to sleep with a man. 97 00:06:25,406 --> 00:06:27,505 Is this really your first time? 98 00:06:28,168 --> 00:06:31,575 No, it's not, but until now I couldn't admit to myself 99 00:06:31,982 --> 00:06:33,834 that I was really interested. 100 00:06:34,121 --> 00:06:36,706 For the first time I'm truly happy. 101 00:06:37,034 --> 00:06:38,463 Are you sure? 102 00:06:38,970 --> 00:06:40,878 Tomorrow you might change your mind. 103 00:06:43,491 --> 00:06:45,936 With Daniel, a new life began. 104 00:06:46,136 --> 00:06:49,037 He was the only one who ever really felt something for me. 105 00:06:49,232 --> 00:06:50,687 I'll always love him for that. 106 00:06:50,807 --> 00:06:53,436 Our love was all we cared about. 107 00:06:53,736 --> 00:06:56,696 Whatever happened around us lost it's meaning. 108 00:06:57,099 --> 00:06:58,610 I finally realized 109 00:06:58,730 --> 00:07:01,198 how dreary and gray my life had been. 110 00:07:01,515 --> 00:07:03,485 I never really knew what love was. 111 00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:06,612 I kept on living without a purpose. 112 00:07:06,943 --> 00:07:10,124 The power of his love tied me stronger to him. 113 00:07:10,489 --> 00:07:12,363 I didn't want to be without him. 114 00:07:12,984 --> 00:07:16,644 Every hour spent alone seemed like some kind of punishment. 115 00:07:17,158 --> 00:07:19,461 I was tormented by feverish desire. 116 00:07:20,171 --> 00:07:22,634 Our embraces afterwards felt intoxicating. 117 00:07:23,158 --> 00:07:25,550 We spent most of our evenings at home, 118 00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:29,126 watching TV to further our education. 119 00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:31,550 Both of us did the housekeeping, 120 00:07:31,787 --> 00:07:33,727 and time just flew by. 121 00:07:34,509 --> 00:07:39,151 On weekends, I spent hours in the Cafe where Daniel used to work. 122 00:07:39,939 --> 00:07:42,599 On our days off, when the weather was nice, 123 00:07:42,693 --> 00:07:45,482 we went to the countryside, dreaming the day away. 124 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,812 Or we just drove aimlessly through the city. 125 00:07:47,932 --> 00:07:50,695 When it rained, we wrote letters, or read. 126 00:07:50,894 --> 00:07:52,186 "Dear Mother, 127 00:07:53,022 --> 00:07:56,650 "this is my 4th month in Berlin. 128 00:07:57,161 --> 00:08:00,162 "Time just flew by. 129 00:08:00,666 --> 00:08:03,868 "Working at the Cafe is fun. 130 00:08:04,359 --> 00:08:09,502 "I've rented a room at a friend's apartment. 131 00:08:10,067 --> 00:08:11,732 "We get along just fine. 132 00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:14,568 "He has shown me around the city. 133 00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:18,281 "Especially the surrounding areas with their many lakes 134 00:08:18,490 --> 00:08:21,051 "and forests amaze me." 135 00:08:21,269 --> 00:08:24,664 Gays attempt to simulate a middle-class marriage. 136 00:08:24,884 --> 00:08:29,777 Instead of hating those responsible for their misfortune, 137 00:08:29,974 --> 00:08:37,354 they wish for a lifelong relationship granted by church and state. 138 00:08:37,710 --> 00:08:42,773 A middle-class marriage is based on the upbringing of children 139 00:08:42,984 --> 00:08:44,959 and the oppression of the wife. 140 00:08:45,411 --> 00:08:50,740 Gay marriage can't be anything but a ridiculous imitation, 141 00:08:51,103 --> 00:08:54,787 as the lack of mutual duties is being replaced 142 00:08:55,090 --> 00:09:00,088 by a romantic and unrealistic love. 143 00:09:00,731 --> 00:09:06,057 That romantic and idolizing love is nothing but self-love. 144 00:09:06,273 --> 00:09:08,267 Most gays don't realize 145 00:09:08,699 --> 00:09:12,550 that the love they feel is in fact self-love. 146 00:09:12,821 --> 00:09:18,230 The partner is seen as an idol of one's own hopes and longings. 147 00:09:18,534 --> 00:09:22,895 They're neither trying to understand nor pay attention to them. 148 00:09:23,182 --> 00:09:27,331 They even burden their partner with their own problems. 149 00:09:27,855 --> 00:09:33,043 Gay marriage fails due to the rivalry of two conceited men, 150 00:09:33,263 --> 00:09:38,107 who were raised not to follow their interests together, 151 00:09:38,334 --> 00:09:41,818 but as competitors. 152 00:09:41,938 --> 00:09:44,725 The lack of mutual duties, 153 00:09:45,009 --> 00:09:47,646 and the inability to get along, 154 00:09:47,979 --> 00:09:52,025 due to being self-centered, 155 00:09:52,254 --> 00:09:57,122 will soon lead to the tragic end of a romantic friendship. 156 00:09:57,703 --> 00:10:00,680 What remains is loneliness 157 00:10:00,987 --> 00:10:02,939 and a vast void, 158 00:10:03,465 --> 00:10:09,315 that will soon be cluttered with new imaginary and vain dreams. 159 00:10:18,203 --> 00:10:21,012 Four months have passed since I came to Berlin. 160 00:10:21,216 --> 00:10:23,983 I've decided to leave Clemens. 161 00:10:24,103 --> 00:10:28,422 I know it's a big mistake, as I still love him like on the first day. 162 00:10:28,542 --> 00:10:32,731 We often act contrary to our feelings, despite regretting it deeply afterwards. 163 00:10:33,037 --> 00:10:35,662 In the small Cafe where Daniel used to work, 164 00:10:35,782 --> 00:10:40,174 he was approached by a wealthy man, whom he soon trusted. 165 00:10:40,381 --> 00:10:43,357 He was fascinated by his knowledge and sophistication. 166 00:10:43,949 --> 00:10:48,717 The spruceness and neatness for which he'd learned to cherish Clemens 167 00:10:48,939 --> 00:10:51,747 and which he, without admitting it, found stifling, 168 00:10:52,124 --> 00:10:55,838 laid the foundation for an unforeseen world of art and culture. 169 00:10:56,278 --> 00:11:00,036 Overwhelmed by a feeling of something big and important, 170 00:11:00,275 --> 00:11:05,171 he agreed to join his benefactor on a longer trip, 171 00:11:05,375 --> 00:11:08,765 and afterwards moved into his villa. 172 00:11:14,433 --> 00:11:17,456 The so-called "Pedagogical Eros", 173 00:11:17,672 --> 00:11:22,349 with which older gays justify sleeping with young men, 174 00:11:22,572 --> 00:11:27,844 simply means an authoritative relationship of dependancy 175 00:11:28,038 --> 00:11:32,679 between a smart ass and a helpless, silly boy. 176 00:11:33,324 --> 00:11:35,323 Education and art, 177 00:11:35,552 --> 00:11:41,250 once dead serious leisure activities of the rich, 178 00:11:41,490 --> 00:11:47,151 are being gratefully received by gays as a getaway from their problems. 179 00:11:47,690 --> 00:11:51,042 The popular belief that gays are artistically more gifted than others 180 00:11:51,162 --> 00:11:52,788 is, in fact, an old wives' tale. 181 00:11:53,591 --> 00:11:56,246 They only engage so much in art, 182 00:11:56,486 --> 00:12:00,426 because they believe it makes their life more endurable. 183 00:12:00,913 --> 00:12:07,957 To them, art is shallow and ineffective, just like when Heydrich played the piano. 184 00:12:08,425 --> 00:12:13,009 As long as education and art are means of the rich and powerful 185 00:12:13,213 --> 00:12:18,638 to belie human and economical issues, 186 00:12:18,758 --> 00:12:21,223 they must be radically rejected. 187 00:12:21,343 --> 00:12:26,210 And as long as gays think they're special, 188 00:12:26,330 --> 00:12:31,805 while they imitate the rich, they must be rejected as well. 189 00:12:31,925 --> 00:12:38,273 Upholding the oppression of homosexuals is especially crucial to rich gays. 190 00:12:38,473 --> 00:12:42,791 They welcome the helplesness of the oppressed, 191 00:12:42,987 --> 00:12:46,668 because it makes it easier to lure them into their beds. 192 00:13:01,513 --> 00:13:06,873 Do you know, do you know 193 00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:11,975 where the lemon blossom grows 194 00:13:12,095 --> 00:13:16,388 In dark foliage 195 00:13:16,508 --> 00:13:21,052 the golden orange glows 196 00:13:21,773 --> 00:13:26,589 A gentle breeze 197 00:13:26,827 --> 00:13:31,360 blows from the azure sky 198 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,820 Still stands the myrtle 199 00:13:36,107 --> 00:13:41,284 and the laurel, high? 200 00:13:43,109 --> 00:13:48,324 A gentle breeze blows from the azure sky 201 00:13:48,650 --> 00:13:55,724 Still stands the myrtle, and the laurel, high? 202 00:13:56,945 --> 00:14:02,527 Do you know, do you know 203 00:14:02,791 --> 00:14:05,672 Do you know it well? 204 00:14:05,902 --> 00:14:09,684 Do you know it well? 205 00:14:10,101 --> 00:14:15,065 There, there 206 00:14:15,828 --> 00:14:18,670 Would I go with you, 207 00:14:19,231 --> 00:14:25,004 oh my beloved 208 00:14:25,373 --> 00:14:29,834 There, there would I go with you 209 00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:33,093 There, 210 00:14:33,427 --> 00:14:36,803 there... 211 00:14:54,208 --> 00:14:59,576 For gays, culture is a way to get to know each other. 212 00:15:00,121 --> 00:15:04,698 In a sultry atmosphere of overemphasized formalities, 213 00:15:04,818 --> 00:15:07,497 they soon drop all pretense. 214 00:15:07,617 --> 00:15:13,156 Being let down their whole life, many have become cold and cruel. 215 00:15:13,589 --> 00:15:17,674 All they see in their partner is a sex object. 216 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,433 Homosexuals have a more ambitious urge for independence 217 00:15:23,553 --> 00:15:25,730 and success than others. 218 00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:31,929 They know that at an old age, they won't be loved for who they are. 219 00:15:32,049 --> 00:15:36,172 The most important thing for gays is the overemphasis 220 00:15:36,542 --> 00:15:39,679 of youth and physicality. 221 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:44,696 Buying a young man also means regaining a part 222 00:15:45,113 --> 00:15:48,179 of their own lost youth. 223 00:15:48,418 --> 00:15:52,321 On his fatherly lover's first music night, 224 00:15:52,557 --> 00:15:57,206 he got to meet his acquaintances: renowned actors and business men. 225 00:15:57,326 --> 00:15:59,896 He feels left alone and desperate. 226 00:16:00,138 --> 00:16:04,405 His friend seems to only have eyes for that young, exotic singer. 227 00:16:04,669 --> 00:16:08,586 Once again, he's at the mercy of the old men's comforting attempts. 228 00:16:08,789 --> 00:16:12,163 They flatter him, stroke his hair, 229 00:16:12,361 --> 00:16:16,428 and close a tight circle around him - everybody wants him for themselves. 230 00:16:16,548 --> 00:16:20,258 He suddenly feels nauseous like he needs to throw up. 231 00:16:20,453 --> 00:16:22,536 He knows he can't stay there, 232 00:16:22,656 --> 00:16:26,306 where his faith in all that's good and beautiful has been betrayed. 233 00:16:26,426 --> 00:16:28,858 He leaves in disgust. 234 00:16:29,897 --> 00:16:33,282 Daniel has found a new job. 235 00:16:34,107 --> 00:16:37,993 He now works at an afternoon meeting place for homosexuals. 236 00:16:38,863 --> 00:16:42,218 He's rented a cheap room from a colleague, 237 00:16:42,617 --> 00:16:48,305 and, through work, makes friends with people his own age. 238 00:16:49,259 --> 00:16:50,865 The other gays like him, 239 00:16:51,218 --> 00:16:54,730 because he knows how to adapt to their customs. 240 00:16:55,441 --> 00:16:57,876 He becomes more secure and independent, 241 00:16:58,410 --> 00:17:02,394 and does not invest all his feelings in flings. 242 00:17:03,392 --> 00:17:06,772 Everything's new, and he's happy to be able to live almost freely 243 00:17:06,980 --> 00:17:09,590 among a group of like-minded people. 244 00:17:10,490 --> 00:17:14,059 Interesting conversations about film, fashion, and grooming 245 00:17:14,179 --> 00:17:16,741 give inspiration for his leisure time, 246 00:17:17,192 --> 00:17:19,751 which he spends almost only with gays. 247 00:17:22,287 --> 00:17:28,658 Most homosexuals are business men or have service jobs. 248 00:17:28,925 --> 00:17:31,987 They're afraid of getting their nails dirty, 249 00:17:32,107 --> 00:17:34,687 and they also fear their colleagues' aggressiveness. 250 00:17:34,807 --> 00:17:38,194 Gays have it twice as hard at work. 251 00:17:38,395 --> 00:17:41,436 On top of the usual shitty job 252 00:17:41,556 --> 00:17:44,858 comes the unnerving act of self-denial. 253 00:17:45,069 --> 00:17:47,099 They become "leisure-queers" 254 00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:54,337 who gladly escape the hypocrisy at work into the gay world, 255 00:17:54,457 --> 00:17:59,480 where they may not be accepted as human beings, but as gays. 256 00:17:59,739 --> 00:18:02,725 They meet for coffee and cake, 257 00:18:02,925 --> 00:18:06,804 listen to songs by Zarah Leander and Marlene Dietrich, 258 00:18:07,006 --> 00:18:13,131 and make trips to places like Sylt and Torremolinos. 259 00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:20,502 The less they're capable of having human relationships among their own, 260 00:18:20,739 --> 00:18:23,868 the more they're in need of a substitute. 261 00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:27,031 Their longing for luck and fulfillment 262 00:18:27,314 --> 00:18:33,104 is being exploited by the industry and deflected into material things. 263 00:18:33,513 --> 00:18:39,256 For the bourgeoisie, it's all about home interior, TV sets, and cars. 264 00:18:39,721 --> 00:18:41,905 For gays, it's all about fashion. 265 00:18:42,025 --> 00:18:48,674 Just like a product's packaging distracts from it's actual content, 266 00:18:48,942 --> 00:18:55,455 gays use fashion to draw attention to their outer appearance. 267 00:18:55,716 --> 00:18:59,241 The lust to adorn one's body 268 00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:03,385 fits the enourmous vanity of gays, 269 00:19:03,595 --> 00:19:09,654 who will soon be unable to love anyone but themselves. 270 00:19:10,023 --> 00:19:14,375 The light blue sweater gays used to wear years ago, 271 00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:18,609 which distinctively differed from dull men's fashion, 272 00:19:18,817 --> 00:19:23,309 has turned into exhibitionism and fetishism. 273 00:19:23,741 --> 00:19:27,105 Fashion has to be like a second skin, 274 00:19:27,336 --> 00:19:30,855 indicating the size of the penis. 275 00:19:31,166 --> 00:19:35,931 Soon, gays won't be capable of anything but... 276 00:19:36,196 --> 00:19:39,919 waiting like a high-class hooker 277 00:19:40,190 --> 00:19:45,525 for a rich man to take them away into a world 278 00:19:45,883 --> 00:19:50,237 of sheer pleasure... and lust. 279 00:19:52,830 --> 00:19:56,942 Homosexuals have nothing in common 280 00:19:57,152 --> 00:20:01,415 but the strong wish to sleep with a man. 281 00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:09,180 The increasing desire for the naked male body 282 00:20:09,535 --> 00:20:12,795 makes them leave their families and go to places 283 00:20:13,344 --> 00:20:15,645 where they can meet gays. 284 00:20:15,765 --> 00:20:20,078 In the company of other gays, they can forget for a while 285 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,102 that they're lepers and outcasts of society. 286 00:20:24,888 --> 00:20:28,246 Nevertheless, they hate each other. 287 00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:33,566 The others are seen as a reflection of one's own misfortune. 288 00:20:33,993 --> 00:20:35,411 Fear of sexuality, 289 00:20:35,654 --> 00:20:39,080 feelings of guilt, foisted upon them by society, 290 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,721 and a strong feeling of competition 291 00:20:41,946 --> 00:20:46,364 make them secret enemies among their own. 292 00:20:47,149 --> 00:20:51,422 In order to be able to communicate, 293 00:20:51,713 --> 00:20:54,873 they make up certain commonalities, 294 00:20:54,993 --> 00:20:57,358 which can only be phony. 295 00:20:57,798 --> 00:21:02,288 They develop superficial rituals and shapes. 296 00:21:02,615 --> 00:21:08,527 Just like the bourgeoisie, they judge each other by their appearance. 297 00:21:09,322 --> 00:21:14,683 In order to be accepted by the gay community, 298 00:21:15,055 --> 00:21:18,276 young homosexuals will soon have to trade 299 00:21:18,531 --> 00:21:22,913 their more personal interests 300 00:21:23,271 --> 00:21:28,376 for so-called gay interests and ideals. 301 00:21:28,875 --> 00:21:33,857 Meeting points for homosexuals are vanity fairs. 302 00:21:34,106 --> 00:21:40,440 They show themselves off, hoping to be wooed by everyone else. 303 00:21:40,979 --> 00:21:45,976 Daniel, who lay dreaming on the sun terrace at the Wannsee lake, 304 00:21:46,887 --> 00:21:48,648 noticed him right away. 305 00:21:49,571 --> 00:21:54,446 He admired his strong body... and his butch appearance. 306 00:21:55,421 --> 00:21:59,396 But he wouldn't dare to show his admiration. 307 00:22:00,590 --> 00:22:02,752 He slightly turned his head, 308 00:22:02,968 --> 00:22:06,975 as if to protect it from the blinding sunbeams. 309 00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:13,622 Through his half-closed eyes he gazed at those strong hands, 310 00:22:14,347 --> 00:22:18,798 that were slowly stripping down a pair of tight fitting jeans... 311 00:22:19,321 --> 00:22:22,190 exposing a bulging pair of trunks. 312 00:22:23,068 --> 00:22:24,203 He desired him... 313 00:22:24,854 --> 00:22:30,230 and he wanted nothing more than to satisfy his desire, 314 00:22:30,562 --> 00:22:33,702 but his pride prevented him from making the first step. 315 00:22:34,530 --> 00:22:37,256 Until now, he was the one that others would woo, 316 00:22:37,526 --> 00:22:41,159 and he could always pick those 317 00:22:41,457 --> 00:22:43,581 he wanted to give his affection to. 318 00:22:44,261 --> 00:22:48,616 He knew his effect on others, and he was partly to blame for it. 319 00:22:49,737 --> 00:22:55,523 He enjoyed being the focus of a pair of lustful eyes, 320 00:22:56,009 --> 00:22:58,482 but he was too shy to spare someone, 321 00:22:59,072 --> 00:23:01,226 who he might have been able to love, 322 00:23:01,892 --> 00:23:03,839 a longer glance. 323 00:23:05,459 --> 00:23:07,621 Wolfgang shared his views. 324 00:23:08,121 --> 00:23:11,201 It was the only time that a fling 325 00:23:11,749 --> 00:23:14,687 had become a tender relationship. 326 00:23:14,807 --> 00:23:16,486 They spent a lot of time together. 327 00:23:16,702 --> 00:23:21,272 They told each other about their amorous escapades and discussed them. 328 00:23:21,625 --> 00:23:23,646 Wolfgang always offered good advice. 329 00:23:24,039 --> 00:23:25,781 He came from a good family, 330 00:23:25,901 --> 00:23:29,491 and Daniel adopted much of his sophisticated lifestyle. 331 00:23:29,722 --> 00:23:32,283 He seemed to know what life was about. 332 00:23:32,551 --> 00:23:36,999 They often felt like they were... truly happy. 333 00:23:38,973 --> 00:23:42,070 A gentle breeze made the hot day more bearable. 334 00:23:42,912 --> 00:23:44,969 His skin hurt a little, 335 00:23:45,566 --> 00:23:48,774 but he knew that before summer ended, 336 00:23:49,197 --> 00:23:54,412 his troubles would be rewarded with an even tan. 337 00:24:03,583 --> 00:24:07,373 Daniel, who's been living in Berlin for more than two years now, 338 00:24:07,589 --> 00:24:13,566 is no longer content with meeting men in classy cafes, boutiques, and lidos. 339 00:24:14,129 --> 00:24:18,230 He's fascinated by the exotic world of gay bars. 340 00:24:18,851 --> 00:24:21,606 He gets excited every time 341 00:24:21,726 --> 00:24:24,864 he enters one of those bars with their huge mirrors, 342 00:24:24,984 --> 00:24:28,670 the pink/red lighting, and those sensuous rythms. 343 00:24:29,257 --> 00:24:32,482 He loves shoving himself through a crowd of young men 344 00:24:32,712 --> 00:24:35,148 who gaze at him in passive admiration. 345 00:24:35,887 --> 00:24:38,062 He needs this kind of self-affirmation 346 00:24:38,182 --> 00:24:40,183 to get over his loneliness, 347 00:24:40,468 --> 00:24:44,216 which, after many numbing nights, starts growing inside of him. 348 00:24:44,467 --> 00:24:48,594 He's slowly granted access to a world of unforeseen possibilities. 349 00:24:49,085 --> 00:24:52,532 He gets to meet people of all kinds of nationalities and occupations. 350 00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:58,031 More often, he drifts into the night, always astonished anew. 351 00:24:58,676 --> 00:25:03,304 He now has not just one, but many favorite bars. 352 00:25:03,829 --> 00:25:08,123 An uneasiness is growing inside of him. He becomes addicted... 353 00:25:08,353 --> 00:25:13,339 to the tantalizing adventures of which no one knows... 354 00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:15,494 how they might end. 355 00:25:20,213 --> 00:25:25,795 Gays rarely have difficulties connecting in big cities. 356 00:25:26,846 --> 00:25:30,771 It's easy for them to find men they can sleep with, 357 00:25:31,452 --> 00:25:35,973 because they offer themselves on every street corner like whores. 358 00:25:36,713 --> 00:25:39,517 Out of fear of old age, 359 00:25:39,874 --> 00:25:45,791 they believe they must live their youth to the fullest. 360 00:25:46,724 --> 00:25:52,473 They become moody, hectic, and more compulsive. 361 00:25:53,444 --> 00:25:56,724 Gays are rarely happy. 362 00:25:58,382 --> 00:26:03,404 They've taken all sexual freedoms 363 00:26:03,935 --> 00:26:06,976 of which the bourgeoisie can only dream. 364 00:26:07,901 --> 00:26:10,359 But they're incapable 365 00:26:10,919 --> 00:26:16,418 of truly enjoying those freedoms. 366 00:26:17,303 --> 00:26:20,870 Like any other kid, 367 00:26:21,383 --> 00:26:26,142 gays were brought up to live by rules and regulations. 368 00:26:26,657 --> 00:26:33,624 Those rules and duties will also apply in a marriage between man and woman. 369 00:26:35,032 --> 00:26:39,031 Gays, however, could take advantage of their freedom, 370 00:26:39,317 --> 00:26:43,099 on their own responsibility. 371 00:26:43,368 --> 00:26:47,920 They could live with someone for as long 372 00:26:48,242 --> 00:26:50,282 as they can enjoy it. 373 00:26:50,644 --> 00:26:53,925 For gays, freedom isn't about 374 00:26:54,497 --> 00:26:59,101 taking responsibility, but about chaos. 375 00:27:00,164 --> 00:27:04,017 They get stuck at an infantile level. 376 00:27:04,745 --> 00:27:06,395 They're constantly horny, 377 00:27:06,815 --> 00:27:10,303 choosing a cheap fling 378 00:27:10,641 --> 00:27:14,613 over a perhaps more valuable relationship. 379 00:27:15,406 --> 00:27:17,943 Gays have trouble 380 00:27:18,552 --> 00:27:21,064 engaging in a long-term relationship. 381 00:27:21,702 --> 00:27:24,779 Full of vanity and remorse 382 00:27:25,173 --> 00:27:29,813 they exchange glances, always looking for true happiness. 383 00:27:30,679 --> 00:27:35,229 They have an ideal image of a man 384 00:27:35,926 --> 00:27:37,378 who doesn't exist. 385 00:27:38,232 --> 00:27:43,600 Two thousand sexual partners in the life of a gay man 386 00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:46,523 are often just surrogates for the one... 387 00:27:47,105 --> 00:27:51,784 they long for, deep in their hearts. 388 00:27:52,354 --> 00:27:55,971 Each time they are being dissappointed anew, 389 00:27:56,244 --> 00:28:01,604 and often all that remains is a feeling of disgust. 390 00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:08,213 Most gays resemble the type of 'nice guy from a good family', 391 00:28:08,510 --> 00:28:12,540 who places great value on a masculine appearance. 392 00:28:13,183 --> 00:28:15,700 They lead a double life, 393 00:28:15,949 --> 00:28:19,625 afraid of being outed as homosexuals. 394 00:28:20,013 --> 00:28:23,382 Their greatest enemy is the flamboyant "fairy". 395 00:28:23,618 --> 00:28:26,481 Fairies are effeminate homosexuals 396 00:28:26,601 --> 00:28:31,037 who attempt to act like hysterical women. 397 00:28:31,389 --> 00:28:33,938 They wear make-up and are the worst nightmare 398 00:28:34,058 --> 00:28:37,046 of the bourgeoisie and of closeted gays 399 00:28:37,166 --> 00:28:39,633 who could be exposed by them. 400 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,730 Fairies are not as phony as bourgeois gays. 401 00:28:44,164 --> 00:28:47,694 Gays are often conceited, moody, and jealous. 402 00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:52,833 Fairies overdo their gay attributes and ridicule them. 403 00:28:53,253 --> 00:29:00,521 They question society's standards and show what it means to be gay. 404 00:29:42,924 --> 00:29:46,145 Being gay is all Daniel cares about now. 405 00:29:46,531 --> 00:29:48,740 It has become an addiction. 406 00:29:48,860 --> 00:29:53,518 He's looking for greater thrills that can satisfy him much faster. 407 00:36:57,056 --> 00:37:00,509 The strangest among gays are, 408 00:37:00,745 --> 00:37:04,669 besides transvestites, who dress like women 409 00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:10,823 and long for female genitals, the leather men. 410 00:37:11,378 --> 00:37:16,543 Their masculinity is damaged the most. 411 00:37:17,116 --> 00:37:20,403 In order to compensate for the loss of their manliness, 412 00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:24,507 they adorn themselves with symbols of masculinity. 413 00:37:24,843 --> 00:37:32,530 Like closeted gays among Nazis, in Western films, or in the army, 414 00:37:33,074 --> 00:37:35,705 leather men, too, are longing 415 00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:40,966 for a world of violence conveyed through those symbols... 416 00:37:41,279 --> 00:37:45,577 ...when, in fact, they're as innocent as kids playing war games. 417 00:37:45,827 --> 00:37:49,749 Lust that can't be experienced directly 418 00:37:49,966 --> 00:37:51,716 turns into perversion. 419 00:37:52,186 --> 00:37:58,119 Leather men only get satisfaction through the use of auxiliary means. 420 00:37:58,371 --> 00:38:03,186 Leather is often being associated with sadism and masochism... 421 00:38:03,553 --> 00:38:07,873 The need to punish and to be punished. 422 00:38:08,393 --> 00:38:11,153 Leather men expect to be punished, 423 00:38:11,564 --> 00:38:17,652 because they feel to have failed both themselves and society. 424 00:38:18,199 --> 00:38:22,352 They're nice, polite people who suffer from their weakness. 425 00:38:23,657 --> 00:38:26,758 Looking for new sexual adventures, 426 00:38:27,111 --> 00:38:30,193 Daniel dares to visit the municipal park, 427 00:38:30,741 --> 00:38:33,998 where he's hoping to find satisfaction more easily. 428 00:38:35,156 --> 00:38:38,952 The nightly ritual of cruising in bars has made him tired. 429 00:38:39,298 --> 00:38:43,902 He found it too much of a hassle to talk to someone 430 00:38:44,260 --> 00:38:47,624 and maybe even spend the night with them just to have sex. 431 00:38:48,363 --> 00:38:51,876 The park's oppressive atmosphere was even more captivating 432 00:38:52,305 --> 00:38:56,551 than the thought of having new sexual experiences. 433 00:38:57,605 --> 00:39:02,551 Afraid of being interrupted, 434 00:39:03,210 --> 00:39:06,214 and with the unfulfilled expectation of a touch, 435 00:39:07,279 --> 00:39:10,116 he passed the fascinating choreography of men, 436 00:39:10,776 --> 00:39:13,003 who were timidly walking around 437 00:39:13,621 --> 00:39:16,557 without saying a single word. 438 00:39:18,022 --> 00:39:19,911 Then he leaves the park... 439 00:39:20,233 --> 00:39:24,863 disappointed to not have found the dominating aggressiveness 440 00:39:25,133 --> 00:39:26,962 he was hoping for. 441 00:39:27,414 --> 00:39:31,543 He reckons it takes the knowledge of secret signals and rituals 442 00:39:32,037 --> 00:39:36,276 which could open the door to "perversion". 443 00:39:37,381 --> 00:39:40,869 Daniel knows there's no way back. 444 00:39:41,228 --> 00:39:43,660 He wants a man - tonight! 445 00:39:44,434 --> 00:39:47,317 He often went home, telling himself 446 00:39:47,543 --> 00:39:50,585 he could've had a lot of guys if he'd wanted to. 447 00:39:50,878 --> 00:39:55,476 That feeling was more important than if he'd actually slept with them. 448 00:39:55,836 --> 00:40:00,369 But now he won't control himself any longer. 449 00:40:00,636 --> 00:40:05,591 He doesn't know what else to do. Nothing matters anymore. It's as if... 450 00:40:06,186 --> 00:40:07,976 he were intoxicated. 451 00:40:08,382 --> 00:40:11,707 Public toilets are the most popular meeting points for homosexuals. 452 00:40:11,979 --> 00:40:15,276 Gays who have trouble connecting, 453 00:40:15,645 --> 00:40:20,273 are forced to have their first homosexual experience in a public toilet. 454 00:40:20,772 --> 00:40:24,792 Being punished for their homosexuality by society, 455 00:40:25,020 --> 00:40:28,837 and left with a guilty conscience, 456 00:40:29,111 --> 00:40:34,789 many have reduced their homosexuality strictly to sex. 457 00:40:35,316 --> 00:40:40,518 They stand side by side, in constant fear of discovery, 458 00:40:40,805 --> 00:40:45,852 and if they finally pick someone up, 459 00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:49,454 they have to get off within seconds. 460 00:40:49,574 --> 00:40:53,406 A relationship directed only towards a man's penis 461 00:40:53,684 --> 00:40:59,383 is for many gays the only kind of love-making they know. 462 00:40:59,752 --> 00:41:05,501 They go from toilet to toilet, constantly seeking satisfaction, 463 00:41:05,811 --> 00:41:09,654 which, if they're lucky, can only be found compromised. 464 00:41:09,774 --> 00:41:14,092 Gays hold public toilets in low esteem. 465 00:41:14,318 --> 00:41:18,243 They claim to despise "toilet queers", 466 00:41:18,363 --> 00:41:23,421 but secretly go there themselves 467 00:41:23,799 --> 00:41:28,162 if they didn't score in one of their fancy bars. 468 00:41:28,612 --> 00:41:33,661 Here they appreciate the often 'masculine laborer' kind of guys 469 00:41:33,935 --> 00:41:37,108 who are not interested in hiding their lust 470 00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:41,056 underneath fashion and good manners. 471 00:41:41,613 --> 00:41:44,740 In our society, being a hustler is much more convenient 472 00:41:45,017 --> 00:41:48,186 than working a dull, impersonal job. 473 00:41:48,481 --> 00:41:51,803 We don't make as much as hookers, though. 474 00:41:52,499 --> 00:41:54,910 Most hustlers are runaways from foster homes, 475 00:41:55,030 --> 00:41:57,042 who refuse a middle-class life 476 00:41:57,162 --> 00:41:59,938 with it's limited possibilities in the first place. 477 00:42:00,185 --> 00:42:05,109 Like many rockers, who suppress their homosexuality with brutality, 478 00:42:05,313 --> 00:42:07,584 most hustlers aren't gay at all. 479 00:42:08,057 --> 00:42:10,440 With gays, they can let off 480 00:42:10,788 --> 00:42:13,173 their rage against the authorities, 481 00:42:13,540 --> 00:42:15,810 which they hold responsible for their fate. 482 00:42:16,394 --> 00:42:17,785 They hate gays, 483 00:42:17,905 --> 00:42:22,294 because in the eyes of our society, gays are still worse than decent criminals. 484 00:42:22,603 --> 00:42:26,605 Extortion, mugging, and murder of gays were daily fare 485 00:42:26,725 --> 00:42:32,023 when, thanks to "� 175", older gays had to gratefully put up with all that. 486 00:42:32,143 --> 00:42:33,746 The law has been abolished, 487 00:42:33,929 --> 00:42:37,808 but not people's attitude towards certain homosexuals 488 00:42:37,928 --> 00:42:40,890 who still live in constant fear of being exposed. 489 00:42:41,166 --> 00:42:46,735 In line with society's hatred of old age, 490 00:42:46,904 --> 00:42:51,499 growing old is the worst that can happen to gays. 491 00:42:51,929 --> 00:42:56,103 Gays often die young, 492 00:42:56,693 --> 00:43:01,342 because all they do is worship the young male body, 493 00:43:01,691 --> 00:43:04,947 while ignoring all human qualities. 494 00:43:05,302 --> 00:43:09,799 Quite often, they start aging at around 30. 495 00:43:10,300 --> 00:43:13,485 Older gays who aren't wealthy 496 00:43:13,711 --> 00:43:20,415 are either forced to exploit young gays in a cold and aggressive manner, 497 00:43:20,968 --> 00:43:25,691 or to get involved in dangerous adventures with hustlers. 498 00:43:26,468 --> 00:43:32,587 Sex is more important to older gays than to married men 499 00:43:33,098 --> 00:43:36,704 who, due to always sleeping with the same woman, 500 00:43:36,930 --> 00:43:38,591 will soon become impotent. 501 00:43:38,711 --> 00:43:43,201 The sight of young men arouses older gays each time anew. 502 00:43:43,653 --> 00:43:48,910 Their mostly unsuccessful attempts to cruise for sex 503 00:43:49,286 --> 00:43:54,337 in dark lit toilets and parks, since they're not welcome in bars, 504 00:43:54,612 --> 00:43:58,488 are taking up most of their energy. 505 00:43:58,930 --> 00:44:03,950 Many are in denial about their age out of sheer vanity. 506 00:44:04,262 --> 00:44:07,534 They're trying to artificially keep themselves young, 507 00:44:08,089 --> 00:44:11,054 but it just makes them look ridiculous. 508 00:44:11,293 --> 00:44:16,592 The life of older gays is no bed of roses. 509 00:44:17,062 --> 00:44:21,232 They're often exposed to inhumane isolation 510 00:44:21,507 --> 00:44:24,630 which, just like a growing ulcer, deprives them 511 00:44:24,952 --> 00:44:30,105 of every last bit of joy in life. 512 00:45:08,303 --> 00:45:14,881 No! No! No! Those shoes look terrible! Combined with that shirt and scarf... 513 00:45:15,272 --> 00:45:21,077 I once saw him wear bright red shoes... Disgusting! 514 00:45:21,197 --> 00:45:23,725 She only gets lucky when she's cottaging! 515 00:45:23,845 --> 00:45:27,845 I even saw her at the station, dressed in bright colors... 516 00:45:28,096 --> 00:45:30,171 from dusk till dawn... 517 00:45:30,321 --> 00:45:35,186 And by day she looks like a parrot! Look at that... Terrible! 518 00:45:40,417 --> 00:45:44,471 Dirty, gay pigs! They're not human, they belong in a concentration camp! 519 00:45:44,699 --> 00:45:48,306 It's one of the filthiest practices! They're scum! It's a crime! 520 00:45:48,426 --> 00:45:51,836 If my son were gay, I'd beat him to death! I'd rip his head off! 521 00:45:51,956 --> 00:45:55,798 Why raise a kid with love and devotion if it ends up being perverted? 522 00:45:55,918 --> 00:46:00,429 I feel sorry for them.
