[edit] Weber?
I seriously doubt Carl Maria von Weber ever signed that petition, as he was quite dead at the time.

- So it would seem. Anyone know of some sources where we can dig up info on who died when, signed what, was or perhaps was not alive at what time? -Seth Mahoney 02:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

- Just goes to show you can't trust everything you read on the internet! I have to offer my apologies, it was me who added that list of names. I take it there's only one Carl Maria von Weber? I got the names from this site by Jim Kepner, the Founder of ONE Institute's International Gay and Lesbian Archives. I should have been more cautious, especially when sevel of the names in Kepner's list have spelling errors! Here are two other lists of names on the petition by different authors; I will remove any names that are not on all three lists.
-
- [1] Albert Einstein, Leo Tolstoy, Emile Zola, Kathe Kollwitz, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, August Bebel, Karl Kautsky, Rudolf Hilferding, Gerhardt Hauptman and Eduard Bernstein.
- [2] Albert Einstein, Léon Tolstoï, Hermann Hesse, Rainer Maria Rilke, Stefan Zweig, Thomas Mann, Emile Zola, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Sigmund Freud, et Max Brod.

- This leaves: Albert Einstein, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke. I think we can also add Leo Tolstoy, as Kepner mentions him as a signatory elsewhere in his article and it is corroborated by the other two. -ntennis 08:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I haven't signed since I don't have an account on the English-language Wikipedia, and only contribute very occasionally. I'm a regular contributor on the Hebrew Wikipedia, where my username is Aviad2001. I noticed the error since I'm currently translating this article (and the one in the German Wikipedia) into Hebrew. 88.111.162.200 21:46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

- BTW, Richard Plant, in The Pink Triangle mentions Buber and Bebel as signatories as well. 88.111.162.200 21:53, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
