    Under the Allied occupation, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment regardless of time served in the concentration camps. The Nazi version of Paragraph 175 remained on the books of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) until the law was revised in 1969 to decriminalize homosexual relations between men over the age of 21.

    The allies marched gay people right back into the camps they liberated. LGBT people have been getting shit on for a long time, it’s disingenuous to act like it’s somehow specific to communists
