Timeline
In 2017, three activities took place related to Hekma's retirement: a two-day symposium, "Perils and Pleasures: Confronting Erotic Diversions", in Amsterdam University Library; an exhibition, "Rooie Flikkers en Homostudies UvA", at IHLIA in the Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam; a Mosse Lecture by Hekma. The latter was organized by the George Mosse Fund, that he co-founded in 2001.
Hekma was interviewed for John Scagliotti's documentary film Before Homosexuals (2017).
In 2007, he received death threats after supporting the idea of including a boat for adolescents at the Amsterdam Gay Pride. In 2014, Hekma co-created a petition addressed to the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, pleading the Dutch Supreme Court to not ban pro-pedophilia association Vereniging MARTIJN. His support of MARTIJN resulted in death threats and an attempted burglary. Hekma has stated he is not a pedophile. He and his significant other, sociologist Mattias Duyves (1953), have been together for more than forty years. They met in 1977 and married in 2007. Both champion sexual and relational freedom.
From 1984 (succeeding Mattias Duyves) until 2017, Hekma was an assistant professor and teacher at the University of Amsterdam, specializing in the sociology and history of (homo)sexuality. Hekma's research is part of an academic counterculture, and some of his statements, in particular about pedophilia and about sadomasochism, have caused conflicts between him and some of his colleagues and the university board, and resulted in threats directed at Hekma.
Hekma finished Gymnasium-β, and in 1978 obtained his master's degree in Cultural anthropology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. From 1979 to 1981, he worked at Utrecht University. He was one of the organizers of the June 1983 social-scientific congress "Among Women, Among Men" (Dutch: "Onder Vrouwen, Onder Mannen"). In 1987, Hekma received his PhD in Historical anthropology from Utrecht University.
Gerhardus "Gert" Hekma (born 24 September 1951) is a Dutch anthropologist and sociologist, known for his research and publications, and controversial public statements, about (homo)sexuality. For thirty-three years he has taught gay and lesbian studies at the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences of the University of Amsterdam.
