Magnus Hirschfeld! Haven't thought about how to celebrate him... but I should. I'll keep you posted! 😁

@timosworld I’ve just read the entry on Wiki about him, and wow, what a pioneer! He certainly needs to be remembered more. Per Scientiam ad Justitiam ('through science to justice') as an inscription on his grave seems very apt too. Thanks for sharing and please do keep me posted!

@kulbs He is quite famous and well-known in the German-speaking world. For example, there are queer community centers honouring him! 🙂

Judith Butler (still alive) is another queer scientist and pioneer in their field.

Alan Turing who had a major role in defeating Nazis and breaking their Enigma traffic, and in turn instead of building monuments in his honor they castrated him for being in relationship with another man.

@lav Turing came to mind immediately for me, and I’m trying to organise a walk and talk about him as part of local LGBTQ+ History Month events.
