@ned just tell them that you thought they’d be rather old-fashioned in this regard?

Holocaust homophobia
@raphaelmorgan @databu @ned I've heard this too, but it makes no sense to me. Queer people as a group weren't fully acknowledged as victims of the Holocaust for a long time after the war. And how would ordinary people back in the US know about the pink triangle, never mind what it signified? Yes, they saw photos and newsreels of liberated camps, but those weren't often in colour.
I think it's a "just so" story, TBH.

The holocaust will always be about the Jews as they were the main victims. But I agree that we must not forget ALL the victims of what happened.

@zleap @raphaelmorgan @databu @ned I'll change that to just "the Nazis" rather than "the Holocaust." I forget it's not a general term covering all the groups they targeted.
