- The
gay Holocaust
Gays were a target of persecution for the Nazi
during World War II. The pink triangle was used
to mark homosexuals by the Nazis during the
holocaust. (Just as Jewish are marked by the Star
of David) Different color of triangle were used
to marked different kind of
"criminals", e.g. the rich upper class.
The suffering of these gay victims are courageous
and heroic. There is nothing easier to hide than
one's sexuality. Most of these people were only
reported or speculated to be gay. It also
included those who are simply considered
feminine. A lot of them denied the opportunity to
prove themselves out of homosexuality. (They,
like the Jews, probably did not know what they
were walking into.) They affirmed their identity
and was persecuted for it.
It is a shame that, today there are historic
revisionist trying to deny the reality of the gay
holocaust. Accusing that the homosexual community
invented such case to victimize themselves
historically to gain sympathy. Even worst, some
Christians have believed them. The persecution
was well documented. There were records of
Hitler's speech that contained hateful comments
toward homosexuals as well as the Jews and many
other minorities in Germany at the time. We
should research and learn about this ugly passage
of our history. As Christians, we need to reflect
on such historic truth of our past, so that we
may prevent similar scenarios from happening
again in the future.
