2. in press. I am grateful to my colleagues at the Magnus Hirschfeld Society who discussed several earlier versions of this paper thoroughly and thus have helped to shape my thoughts. I am indebted to Dr. Jim Keller, David Prickett-Barnes, and Jean-Nickolaus Tretter, who kindly read and edited earlier drafts of my translation. The final version owes a lot to the suggestions of my reviewers, and to Dr. Wallace Swan, who kindly offered to edit and polish my imperfect English.
3. in press. Private sponsorship for research and education is not widely known or used in Germany. Only some GLBT health care projects (HIV AIDS prevention) by now can attract a few sponsors, but their contributions are only good for a rather small portion of their overall budget. Research and education in Germany is considered a public function and is regularily funded through state money.
4. in press. There is an English brochure “Social Security at a Glance” available from the German Federal Ministry of Labor. The chapter on Promotion of Employment, pp. 13–25 gives all the relevant details I cannot cite here. Readers can download this brochure from the Ministry's website: http://www.bma.bund.de/index_gb.htm (accessed April 2000).

6. in press. “Förderband” literally is the German word for the technical device, but the word “fördern” also bears the meaning of “promote” or “foster.” Unfortunately and contrary to its name, this cultural “conveyor” never succeeded to shovel really big amounts of money to the participating projects.
7. in press. The English version of this exhibit is now hosted permanently at the Jean-Nickolaus Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies at the Elmer L. Andersen Library, University of Minnesota, and will travel from there upon request.
