Henry Gerber

Henry Gerber (June 29, 1892 – December 31, 1972)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame )〕 was an early homosexual rights activist in the United States. Inspired by the work of Germany's Magnus Hirschfeld and his Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, Gerber founded the Society for Human Rights (SHR) in 1924, the nation's first known homosexual organization, and ''Friendship and Freedom'', the first known American homosexual publication. SHR was short-lived, as police arrested several of its members shortly after it incorporated. Although embittered by his experiences, Gerber maintained contacts within the fledgling homophile movement of the 1950s and continued to agitate for the rights of homosexuals. Gerber has been repeatedly recognized for his contributions to the LGBT movement.
==Early life==
Gerber was born Henry Joseph Dittmar (some sources say "Josef")〔Loughery, p. 53〕 on June 29, 1892, in Bavaria.〔 He changed his name to "Henry Gerber" upon emigrating to the United States in 1913.〔 He and others in his family settled in Chicago because of its large German immigrant population.〔 In 1917, Gerber was briefly committed to a mental institution because of his homosexuality. When the United States declared war on Germany, Gerber was given a choice: be interned as an enemy alien or enlist in the Army. Gerber chose the Army and he was assigned to work as a printer and proofreader with the Allied Army of Occupation in Coblenz. He served for around three years.〔Bullough, p. 25〕 During his time in Germany, Gerber learned about Magnus Hirschfeld and the work he and his Scientific-Humanitarian Committee were doing to reform anti-homosexual German law (especially Paragraph 175, which criminalized sex between men).〔Hogan and Hudson, p. 245〕 Gerber traveled to Berlin, which supported a thriving gay subculture,〔Hogan and Hudson, p. 246〕 on several occasions and subscribed to at least one homophile magazine.〔 He absorbed Hirschfeld's ideas, including the notion that homosexual men were naturally effeminate.〔Despite being naturally masculine and disliking the company of women and effeminate men, (Bullough, p. 32), Gerber continued to espouse the idea of gay men's effeminacy, writing in 1932, "The homosexual man does not shun women because he wants to flee from the reality of normal sex life, but because he himself is a woman and his normal sex life is directed to the other sex, another man." (collected in Blasius and Phane, p. 220)〕 Following his military service, Gerber returned to the United States and went to work for the post office in Chicago.〔
