Spannersaken – ny heksejakt

Spannersaken – ny heksejakt

– Sosialister og andre som vil kjempe for frigjøring må være klart imot at staten, eller andre skal grafse i eller kontrollere folks privatliv, skriver Internasjonale Sosialister i en kommentar til den statlige undertrykkingen og trakasseringen av homser, lesber og SMere i Spanner-saken.

Sakset fra Sosialistisk Arbeideravis 2.7.1996

Sado-masochister (SM) er de siste som fanges av politiets og moralistenes jakt på “avvikere”. Og det er homofil sado-masochisme de vil til livs. England kriminaliserer sm-sex mellom likestilte homofile parter. I 1993 ble en gruppe homser dømt i den såkalte Spanner-saken. Spanner var kodenavnet på en omfattende politiforfølgelse. Heteroseksuelle sadomasochister har blitt frifunnet for aktiviteter som piercing, tatovering og erotisk pisking, mens homser har fått fengselstraff for å ha “skadet samfunnsmoralen”.

Fra moralisme til trakassering

Spanner-dommen ble etterfulgt av trakassering og forfølgelse av lesbiske og homofile fetisj- og SM-foreninger. I januar i år gikk politiet løs på grupper som har anka Spannersaken inn for menneskerettsdomstolen i Strasbourg. På samme måte som norske homser og lesber møtte motstand på 50-tallet skremmer politiet klubbeiere fra å leie ut lokaler til dem, og hindrer dermed vanlig møtefrihet. Statlig undertrykking og trakassering av homser, lesber og SMere fører til at homofobien og seksualfiendtligheten ellers i samfunnet styrkes. Tre av ti unge som tar livet av seg er homofile.

Sex-politi

Mange organisasjoner i Norge har uttrykt sin støtte til de Spannerdømte, og det er samla inn 20 000 kroner til dem. Men Kvinnegruppa Ottar har stilt seg på politiets og moralistenes side. Ottar beskylder sado-masochister for vold og undertrykking. De skrev i et innlegg i Klassekampen at de ikke klarer å ta stilling til Spanner-dommen, men er for etterforskning av mulige overgrep! Ottar påstår også at homofile skader sin egen sak ved å forsvare SMere!

Sosialister og andre som vil kjempe for frigjøring må være klart imot at staten, eller andre skal grafse i eller kontrollere folks privatliv. Om saken tapes i Strasbourg vil det bety at politiet i hele Europa får enda friere tøyler til fortsatt trakassering og terror av dem de måtte anse som seksuelle avvikere. Støtte kan sendes til Verkstedet Smia, pb 6838 St. Olavs plass, 0130 Oslo.

This Norwegian article was written in the bulletin of “Sosialistisk Arbeideravis”, representing the political group “International Socialists”.

The Spanner campain in Norway
From 1993 to 1997 Smia-Oslo campaigned and set about fund-raising (picture) in favour of the defendants in the British Spanner Case, which started in Manchester 1987. As part of an international campain, Smia gained support from several dozen Norwegian political organisations with many hundreds of thousands of members from both the political left and right, including women‘s rights groups and trade unions, not to mention the unanimous backing of the Lesbian and Gay movement. This was a broad mobilisation of people for important principles such as freedom from harassment and not being allowed to work in the public sector, the right to free expression and adult individuals’ right to take their own decisions regarding their bodies and sexuality.

About the Spanner process
A hundred years after the case against Oscar Wilde, England has been the only land in Europe to criminalise safe, sane and consenting SM-sex between equal gay partners. Heterosexual sadomasochists have been found not guilty for similar activities. In the European Commission of Human Rights, seven lands voted to free the Spanner gay men, while 11 wanted to convict them. Subsequently the court unanimously followed the majority vote in 1997. The tragedy here is that the Nordic lands would have counted in the balance of votes. If they had supported the Spanner defendants (picture), then the opposite outcome would have been achieved. The Norwegian representative didn’t even turn up to vote. In the English highest court of appeal (1993), the Spanner men were sentenced by three votes to one.

The Law Commission: SM is legal!
An official appointed British Law Commission in 1995 came to the conclusion that SM or sadomasochism, short of causing serious or permanently disabling injury, should be no crime between consenting adults. – Under the Law Commission’s new proposals, the Spanner men would never have been prosecuted, according to the director of the civil rights group Liberty, John Wadham (Pink Paper December 22, 1995).

Lær- og SM-folk mot nazisme

Europride 2002 i Köln. Foto: Svein Skeid
Den europeiske fetisj/sm-bevegelsen har en lang tradisjon med holdninger mot rasisme og nazisme. Allerede i 1978 diskuterte årsmøtet til den europeiske lærhomo-paraplyen ECMC “European Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs” hvordan en skulle hindre nazi-elementer i å infiltrere medlemsklubbene.

ECMC-klubben MS Panther Köln, startet i 1993 “Leder gegen rechts”, og dekorerte en anti-nazi-vogn i paraden under homodagene det året.

Illustrasjon til høyre:
Den tyske ECMC-klubben Rote Erde: “Leder Gegen Rechts” 1993.

I 1998 inkluderte årsmøtet til ECMC, med sine 50 medlemsklubber, en paragraf i vedtektene som tar klar avstand fra “Rasistiske og nazistiske holdninger, uttrykk og handlinger, liksom medlemskap i slike antidemokratiske organisasjoner”.

Det var også en “Leder gegen rechts”-stand under Folsom Europe Street Fair i Berlin i september 2004.

 

HER ER TEKSTEN PÅ ECMC-VEDTAKET FRA 1998:
The ECMC AGM 1998 approves the following resolution:
“Racist and nazi attitudes, manifestations and actions, together with membership in ditto antidemocratic organisations is not consistent with membership in our democratic ECMC-clubs.”

Arguments for the proposal:
“The intention with this proposal is to secure the address lists and membership archives of our member clubs from being misused by antidemocratic elements.
We also carry the above resolution to foster fraternal brotherhood with our foreign cultural individual members and in solidarity with ECMC clubs fighting against nazi violence and for information about the difference between leather and nazi.
Today there is different attempts of building up networks of gay leather nazi organisations in Europe. We see this as a threat against the security of our ECMC-clubs and individual members.
The european leather community has a anti nazi tradition. Already in 1978 the ECMC AGM discussed how to stop nazi elements from infiltrating our member clubs. With the above resolution we want to confirm this anti nazi attitude.”

Antifascistisk aksjon: Homofile kriminaliseres


Hundre år etter rettsaken mot Oscar Wilde har England som eneste land i Europa kriminalisert sikker, ansvarlig og samtykkende sm-sex mellom homofile likestilte parter. Heteroseksuelle sadomasochister er frifunnet for tilsvarende aktiviteter.

Sakset fra Antifascistisk Magasin nr 10 1996

Blitz, AFA og Jentegruppa på Blitz støtter Spannerofrene

I kjølvannet av spannerdommen fra 1993 har politiet trappet opp trakassering og forfølgelse av lesbiske og homofile. I slutten av januar 1996 gikk sex-politiet løs på grupper som har anket spannersaken inn for menneskerettighetsdomstolen i Strasbourg. Politikerne i England mener at homofili er en trussel mot “det engelske samfunnets moral”, mens de selv stadig vekk blir tatt med buksa nede. Det har blitt vedtatt lover i England som forbyr å promotere homofili. Disse lovene kriminaliserer homofile, og fører i praksis til at folk blir arrestert for å kysse kjæresten sin på åpen gate.

Spannerdommene

Listen over organisasjoner som støtter de engelske spannerdømte viser at saken ikke bare handler om å renvaske noen hundre homofile sadomasochister som har fatt sine liv ødelagt etter års mareritt. Uavhengig av seksuell orientering eller preferanse dreier spannersaken seg om vår alles rett til å bestemme over egne liv, retten til å definere vår kjærlighet på egne premisser, retten til egen kropp og seksualitet og retten til å være forskjellig. Dette er krav som lesbe-, homo- og kvinnebevegelsen har kjempet for i alle tider.

Den heteroseksuelle Wilson-dommen fra februar i år avslører dessuten at det engelske samfunnets moral bare er “truet” av homoseksuelle, og da særlig av dem som i tillegg er sadomasochister. Heteroseksuelle som praktiserer sm ble frifunnet av engelsk appellrett. I likhet med Spanner-homo-dommen fra 1993 ikke bare deltok fru Wilson frivillig, men tok også selv initiativ til de aktuelle aktivitetene. Allikevel ble heterofile Wilsons frikjent for straff, mens Spannerhomsene ble dømt da deres samtykke ble ansett som uvesentlig og irrelevant.

Homofobe lover

Erfaringene fra England viser at statlig undertrykking og trakassering overfor lesber, homser og sm-ere følges opp av grov vold og drap. Dette kommer av at de homofobe lovene i England legitimerer angrep på homofile i samfunnet. Latterliggjøring, sjikane, trakassering, sykeliggjøring og nykriminalisering er en trussel mot seksuelle minoriteters liv og helse. Vi vet idag at tre av ti unge som tar livet av seg er homofile og lesbiske. Ut fra egne erfaringer er det grunn til å anta at andelen sm-homser og lesber er enda større. Engelske minoriteter kjemper nå for sin eksistens både som individer og som gruppe. Dersom ikke menneskerettighetsdomstolen i Strasbourg til høsten bringer England på nivå med resten av Europa, har engelsk sex-politi grønt Iys for intensivert sex-terror, razziaer og trakassering. Dommen som da vil omfatte hele Europa, kan få ringvirkninger som vi helst ikke ønsker å tenke på også i vårt eget land.

SLM Oslo og Verkstedet Smia har sendt 20.000 kr til Spanner Trust i London. Målet er å samle inn ytterligere 20.000 kr før Spannersaken kommer til doms i Strasbourg høsten 1996. Totalt trengs det 300.000 kr for å lose spanner-saken gjennom den europeiske menneskerettighetsdomstolen.

Central Station, 37 Wharfdale Road, Kings Cross, (main bar)

You can also read the introduction to the workshop online at www.reviseF65.org/workshop.html

  • The stigma attached to SM and Fetish diagnoses is used to justify violence, harassment and persecution because of people‘s SM-preference.
  • SM people lose their jobs and the custody of their children because their love and lifestyle is still considered as a disease.
  • Even law court verdicts acquit self-identified murderers and rapists because the victims are stigmatized as sick perverts.

Fetishism, transvestism and sadomasochism are still considered mental illnesses by The World Health Organization and most countries, despite the fact that US psychiatrists revised their DSM manual nine years ago, and Denmark, as the first European country, totally removed the SM diagnosis in 1995.

Join the ReviseF65 efforts to remove diagnoses from the International Classification of Diseases!

The ReviseF65 project is established with a mandate from the 1998 Convention of the Norwegian National Association for Lesbian and Gay Liberation (LLH). Our efforts is so far supported by the Norwegian Association of Gay and Lesbian Physicians, the Norwegian Society for Clinical Sexology, the 1999 European Conference of the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) and the 2000 General Assembly of the European Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs (ECMC).

The ReviseF65 group consists of Leather/SM/Fetish men and women representing organizations of Leather and SM gays, lesbians, bi- and heterosexuals, as well as professionals in sexology, psychology and psychiatry.

The European leather/SM movement has a long tradition against rasism and nazism. As early as in 1978 the AGM of ECMC – the gay “European Confederation of Motorcycle Clubs” – discussed how to stop Nazi elements from infiltrating their member-clubs.

The ECMC member club MS Panther Köln, in 1993 started “Leder gegen Rechts”, and decorated an “anti-nazi fleet” during the CSD (Christopher Street Day) parade that year.

Folsom Europe 2004
Inspired by the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco during twenty years, Up your Alley/ Dore Alley (San Francisco) and Folsom Fair North (Toronto), Folsom Europe e.V. for the first time invited the gay and straight Leather/SM/Fetish community to celebrate it self during three days in Berlin, September 3-5, 2004. It was a big success as you can see from the picture galleries.

Folsom Europe were supported by the City of Berlin, the Berlin Police, the Industrial Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Berlin and the Berlin Tourism Office.

The Folsom Europe Street Fair have three goals: making stronger within the Leather-Fetish scene, steps in the open public to reduce pre-judgements, as well as the support of community associations and organizations in Europe, which support and care for HIV-Positive people and those with AIDS. All the money raised will be used for those projects.

For 2004 the kindergarten in the Fuggerstrasse and the AIDS emergency found in Poland will be helped. The kindergarten is a private initiative which looks after HIV infected and AIDS positive children.

At the Folsom Europe Street Fair the Leather/SM/Fetish scene steps in the open public to reduce pre-judgements. Folsom Europe also support several social projects, like care for hiv-positive people and those with aids. Among others, the Berlin Police and Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. had boots at the fair.

EuroPride 2003, held for the first time in the UK, has been declared the best ever, despite attracting far fewer than the 1.2m who descended on Cologne in Germany last year.

Robert Kastl, President of EPOA, the founding organisation for EuroPride, was glowing about Manchester’s achievement. “This EuroPride has been fantastic, the best EuroPride so far. The Parade was the most colourful and artistic I have ever seen in Great Britain.”

More than 250,000 people attended the 10-day festival, visiting 150 separate events and raising £124,000 for HIV, lesbian and gay charities.

Visitors from all over Europe received a warm welcome with the Rainbow Flag flying from the top of the Town Hall (picture above), and the Greater Manchester Police distributing a very welcoming Europride Special magazine (picture left) all over the gay village during the Big Weekend.

– What a difference today from 15 years ago when I first came to Manchester and marched through the streets against Section 28, said Actor Sir Ian McKellen according to several gay newspapers.

EuroPride started on the 15th August but one of the highlights was when the world’s longest Rainbow Flag stretching a quarter of a mile in length and weighing more than half a tonne was carried in the Key 103 EuroPride Parade on Bank Holiday Saturday August 23rd.

Welcome to Europride in Hamburg 2004 and Europride in Oslo, Norway 17-27 June 2005.

Svein Skeid from the ReviseF65 group, held a workshop focussing on the work to remove the Fetish and SM diagnoses, at Conway Hall, Betrand Russell Room, after the SM Pride March. The room was filled up with more than 25 listeners. An engaged audience and a successful workshop.

SM Pride was founded in the wake of the British Spanner case in 1992 – to promote BDSM as a valid sexuality and to campaign for BDSM legality and equality (see picture in the middle above). The SM Pride organizers invited people to join the march under “the colours (…) black and blue, the official colours of SM Pride”. As wievers have observed, this is not exactly the same flag as the international acknowlished “Leather Flag” designed by Tony de Blase in 1989 (picture right). The original Leather Pride Flag by author and publisher Tony de Blase (1942-2000), was first displayed on May 28, 1989 at the International Mr Leather contest in Chicago. The hand-sewn original now hangs in Chicago’s Leather Archive and Museum. Though the Leather Pride Flag emerged from the gay male leather/SM scene, the flag has got pansexual currency. Today it stands as a symbol for the leather/SM/Fetish community- people who are into leather, sadomasochism, bondage, domination, uniforms, rubber and other kind of sexual fetishes. Though it is obviously inspired by the lesbian and gay rainbow flag, de Blase (Fledermaus) has been famously reticent in giving an explanation of the design. ‘I did have definite reasons for creating the design and color scheme [but] I have never explained them to anyone else’, he says. I prefer that the individual look at the flag and interpret it for him/herself, reading into it whatever he/she most wants to see. One common interpretation of the design is that the red heart represents the love we feel; the white stripe represents purity or hope; the black stripe, for leather; and the blue stripe, denim (both materials commonly worn and fetishised in the leather and SM communities). The original Leather Pride Flag is composed of nine horizontal stripes of equal width. From the top and from the bottom, the stripes alternate black and royal blue. The central strip is white. In the upper left quadrant of the flag is a large heart.
