Nicht der Homosexueller ist pervers, sondern die Situation, in der er lebt (1971, West Germany)

A sympathetic documentary about gay men by Rosa von Praunheim. It looks very dated now, but that just shows how far things have come in a few decades.

There is a drag club, briefly, with a terrible singer. Everyone looks so glum.

The title means "It isn't the homosexual who is perverse, but the situation in which he lives".
