Rudiger Lautmann

Rüdiger Lautmann (born 1935) is a sociologist, homosexual activist pro-pedophile activist in Germany. In the 1970s he founded Fach Und Selbsthilfegruppe Paedophilie, a self-help for paedophiles. His career demonstrates the close connections between homosexuality, pedophilia and the LGBT movement.

Lautmann is the originator of the Homocaust myth, false claims about extermination of homosexuals under the Nazi regime.

Career

Born in Koblenz, Lautmann lived during his childhood in Düsseldorf, where he went to school. He first studied German law. After he finished his law studies, he started a second study in sociology. Lautmann worked after university studies first in Munster and then in Bielefeld (for Niklas Luhmann). In 1971 he became professor in sociology at University of Bremen. In 2001 Lautmann retired as professor. In 2005 at the age of seventy Lautmann entered into a civil partnership with another man in Hamburg where he worked at the Institut für Sicherheits- und Präventionsforschung. In 2009 he moved to Berlin.

Links to Pedophilia

His 1994 book, Die Lust am Kind, (The Pleasure of the Child or Lust for Children) presents arguments for understanding and normalizing sex between adults and children. It was based on a study of 60 men who admitted to sexual activity with boys, but was not based on any study of people who were themselves victims of CSA. On that basis he reported that children often instigated sexual contact with adults, and he presented it as harmless. He even suggested that pedophiles are an oppressed group, quoting the claims of pro-pedophile campaigners Edward Brongersma and Frits Bernard, both Dutch. It can be compared to the pro-pedophile propaganda published by homosexual members of the UK Pedophile Information Exchange and USA NAMBLA such Warren Middleton and Tom O'Carroll. Lautmann went all over Europe speaking in favor of pedophilia, which makes his later attempts to distance himself from the movement implausible. In 1994 he went to Zurich to proselytize for Und Selbsthilfegruppe Paedophilie.

Spreading Homocaust Myth

Lautmann is a sociologist, not a historian. Nevertheless, he attempts to dabble in history and has made wildly inflated claims about a Nazi genocide of hundreds of thousands of homosexuals, anything up to a million. These claims are false and are rejected by all professional historians and experts on the Nazi regime. See Homocaust myth. The fallacy is spread by taking names of Jewish people who happened to be homosexual and claim they were persecuted for being homosexual rather than Jewish, or showing photographs of prisoners in labor camps, possibly in a few cases homosexuals serving a fixed term sentence, and claim they were inmates of Auschwitz. Nevertheless, the claims have been taken up by other homosexual/pedophile campaigners such as Peter Tatchell in the UK and are now widely disseminated and popularized on LGBT and pro-LGBT websites many of which use fake evidence and photo-shopped pictures. The myth has been accepted and promulgated by the USA Holocaust History Museum.
