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.
- dragonwriter 2y agoWhile 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.
