Blätter für Menschenrecht

Front cover of the September 1926 issue, featuring the actor Wilhelm Kunst

The Blätter für Menschenrecht (English: "Pages for Human Rights"^[a]) was a German gay periodical founded by Friedrich Radszuweit, an LGBT rights campaigner and publisher, in February 1923.^[1] Its literary supplement was Die Insel,^[2] and the Blätter was associated with the Bund für Menschenrecht (English: "Society for Human Rights"), an LGBT rights organisation.^[3]

The journal was published regularly (monthly, sometimes weekly) and reviewed literary, cinematic, and scientific information and portrayals of gender and sexual minorities (i.e. ).^[1]^[4] The positions of the magazine generally reflected those of the first homosexual movement in Germany. This included the abolition of Paragraph 175 (which criminalised gay sex), campaigning against the blackmail of gay people, and for the integration of LGBT people into mainstream society.^[1]

The magazine ceased publication in 1933,^[2] the year Adolf Hitler seized power.
