—————<\/p>

Magnus Hirschfeld was a physician and sexologist who founded the first homosexual movement in Berlin and campaigned for the right to sexual freedom and the protection of minorities. Due to his own identity as a Jewish, homosexual social democrat, he was also repeatedly the victim of discrimination and persecution for his activism. Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld died on May 14, 1935, on his 67th birthday, in exile in Nice, France.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
