I guess we can't talk about these people now.

For a party that online has a lot of rhetoric about "snowflakes" this administration really works hard to be the most stereotypical "snowflakes" about whatever given terms upset them.

It seems there should be a way to identify "those abnormal people" so that we can keep our children away from them? We wouldn't want them polluting our kids with subversive ideas about gender that are not accepted canon. I don't know, maybe they could wear something? Like maybe a yellow star or something like that?

Yes, better. And what a lovely nationalist heritage too!

The parent link is so sad and upsetting, I had no idea homosexuals in West Germany continued to be punished and incarcerated until 1969.

The Nazi values continued to be enforced post war.. despicable.

While you can call it Nazi values, Britain didn't decriminalize male homosexual acts until 1967 (and even then with a higher age of consent, and other limits, compared to heterosexual acts), France decriminalized even later in 1982, and while some US states did earlier, the last didn't until their sodomy laws were invalidated by the Supreme Court in 2003. And the Soviet Union used fighting fascism as an excuse for its recriminalization of male homosexuality in 1933, which it retained until it fell.

So, I mean, the states that occupied Germany after the Nazis fell were all subscribers to “Nazi values” on this point.
