How did the Nazis discriminate the gays?

Answer 1

Most countries did not allow homosexuals to serve in the military, in fact homosexuality was illegal in most countries during this period.

MORE In Nazi Germany (convicted) homosexuals were required to wear a pink triangle and many were sent to camps.
MORE In Nazi Germany homosexuals were required to wear a pink triangle and many were sent to camps as well as gas chambers. When the war first started the German SS death squads would experiment with the fastest way to kill a large amount of people. The first people they used were from the mental institutions, homosexuals, and disabled. They first tried loading people into the back of an enclosed truck and then hooking up the exhaust from the truck into the back. When this didn't kill them fast enough and when they couldn't do a lot of people they began to think of other faster ways.
_________________________________________

Only homosexuals convicted of a crime (generally homosexual acts) were required to wear a triangle, 90% of homosexuals successfully evaded the Nazis' grasp. None were sent to the gas chambers. There were no people walking around outside of the penal system with a pink triangle akin to the yellow star that Jews were forced to wear.

SS death squads were at (or just behind) the front lines and did not take part in the experiments of mass execution.

The T-4 programme was responsible for these experiments, which involved closing (physically and mentally) disabled people in a room and filling it with exhaust fumes, no person was included for being homosexual. Later this method would be employed in the gas vans for other groups of people.

Answer 2

Some gays who were sentenced to terms in jail were sent to concentration camps instead. Others were sent, without trial, to concentration camps and treated exceptionally badly there. The Death Rate for gay inmates was very high. In some cases they were beaten up (or worse) by fellow prisoners.

Answer 3

Homosexuals, those who were arrested, ie. a very small percentage were sent to concentration camps. This started in 1933, about eight years before Jews (and Gypsies) were sent to the camps.

The laws outlawing Homosexuality pre-dated the Nazis and were not changed after the Nazis were removed from power. In fact in a comparable period in the 1950s or 1960s more people were arrested for homosexual acts.

In the camps Homosexuals were the lowest rank of the unofficial hierarchy of camp inmates and were treated as such, by not only the guards, but also the other prisoners. This, of course until Jews populated the camps.

Homosexuals were not gassed to death like the Jews and Gypsies (and the mentally ill).

Answer 4

Homosexuals were treated much like Jews, but there was a smaller group of them. They wore pink triangles to show their separation from other groups that Hitler tortured.

Answer 5

not very well --- They were persecuted and sent to concentration camps, where many of them were murdered.

Answer 6

They were treated like sub-human slaves and forced to work in labor camps. Thousands died.

Answer 7

the same as the Jews
