I was also talking about the Allies. The Allies kept homosexuals in prison when the camps were otherwise freed. The Allies kept the law banning homosexuality, while removing all the nazi era laws.
Never understood people of today trying to judge other people from yesterday’s gone by to the same morals standard that they have today.
Humanity evolves forward, societies change from the past to the present and into the future.
There was a lot of wrongs that societies of that day were doing, not only to homosexuals, but to people of different skin colors as well. But say what you will about it, we’re all here today to argue about it because they stepped up and did the thing that none of us has had to do, fighting a global war where everything they know might go away and be replaced with evil.
For that, we owe them a level of respect, and to judge them through a lens of time.
FYI, I was talking about Allied citizens who fought in World War II, not Nazis.
I do understand that you were talking about Nazi citizens, in relation to your LGBTQ comment.

Then maybe leave them in the past. Don’t wish for them to rise up out of their graves and fight your foes.
You should never forget your heroes.
EDIT: And when someone says something like this about them…
…, they need to be defended.
Not everything is as black and white, 0% or 100%, nothing in between, as those with an agenda would want you to believe it is.

Sodomy was illegal in most of the allied countries as well, not just Nazi Germany.
