re: #117 000G

Women weren’t persecuted for homosexuality under StGB paragraph 175. The pink triangle was exclusively for males.

That is my understanding as well. Male homosexuality was hated due to its being seen as feminizing men, and its prominence in the clique around SA leader Ernst Rohm, whom Hitler had had killed in the infamous “Night of the Long Knives”. This purge and the subsequent persecutions of gay men put the lie to the “Hitler needed gay soldiers to carry out his worst cruelties” trash put about by Bryan Fischer and his own clique.
