Talk:Lesbians in Nazi Germany

"lesbians in Nazi Germany, unlike gay men, did not face systematic persecution?" is unequivocally false.
They were simply categorised under "asocials". And were persecuted in that manner.


 * The lesbians who were targeted indeed were classified as asocials. That does not mean that there was systematic persecution of lesbians in Nazi Germany. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  07:08, 6 July 2022 (UTC)


 * On that note would you like to expand this page with me? I was skeptical of the claim that lesbians weren't systemically persecuted although I see it oft-repeated today. I am collecting some sources to investigate that but regardless this page can be expanded (lesbian periodicals were also shut down for instance, not just bars). The Hidden Holocaust?: Gay and Lesbian Persecution in Germany 1933-45 might be useful for instance. VintageVernacular (talk) 22:05, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I noticed that you changed "systematic" to "categorical". But is it even correct to say that German gay men were "categorically" persecuted by the Nazi state (as, for instance, German Jews were?) there was never an attempt to round up every German man who experienced same-sex attraction.

 * I was thinking in terms of the triangle system but now that I look at it pink triangles weren't only gay men. I rewrote the lead again removing much of what was there before, it may not be necessary to keep. VintageVernacular (talk) 01:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ok, I appreciate the effort to improve this article, but could you try to use the existing citation style? I fixed one of the refs but I do not have the correct page number for the second citation of Lavie 2021. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  05:38, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
