When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.
This should be required learning, internationally.
You need to know this. You need to remember this. This is not something to swept under the carpet nor be forgotten.
Never. Too many have died for the way they have loved. That needs stop now.
Make it stop?
I did a report on this in my World History class my sophomore year of high school. It was incredibly unsettling.
My teacher shown the class this. Mostly everyone in the class felt uncomfortable.
I have reblogged this in the past, but it is so ironic that it comes across my dash right now. I a currently working as a docent at my city’s Holocaust Education Center (( I say currently because I’ve also done research and translation for them )) and out current exhibit is one on loan from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ((USHMM)). This is a little known historical fact that Paragraph 175 was not repealed after the war and those convicted under Nazi laws as a danger to society because they were gay were not released because they had be convicted in a court of law. There was no liberation or justice for them as they weren’t considered criminals, or even victims for that matter. They were criminals who remained persecuted and ostracized and kept on the fringes of society for decades after the war had been won. Paragraph175 wasn’t actually repealed until 1994. And it was only in May 2002, that the German parliament completed legislation to pardon all homosexuals convicted under Paragraph175 during the Nazi era. History has forgotten about these men and women — please educate yourselves so this does not happen again. Remember this history. Remember them.

This is why I pray to any and all deities or other Powers that’ll listen that I NEVER find fanfic with myself in it.
(That said, if any of you find some, or wrote some, well, send it in. Call it my own damned sense of curiosity. And I promise never to publish ANY of it.)
I once stumbled across one on another artist’s web forum, one of the strangest and most disturbing things I have read. I still have no idea why some random web kid thought I was a good subject for a completely bizarre sex story and at LEAST they slashed me with a friend and not like, Edward Cullen or something. Beware googling your own name when you have a web presence involving the fetish scene, is all I gotta say.
Wait wait wait… YOU have pornfic?
I think that just rocked my world.
Not just pr0nfic… *vampire* pr0nfic. That’s kind of OK because I always wanted to grow up to be Catherine Deneuve in the Hunger. Or maybe just be David Bowie. I’m not sure.
I’ve never had fanfic made, but at the height of OB someone made a flyer of me and John that could probably qualify as fan art.
I was both flattered and fairly weirded out when I found a fanfic about me. At least it wasn’t anything perverse.
Is there fanfic about me? ‘Fess up, people.
Someday, if/when I become famous enough for fanfic involving my person, I will read it gleefully with popcorn and Cherry Coke at my side, same as I would an entertaining film.
