Homosexuals have been persecuted across the span of history in virtually every country and subjected to repressive laws, prison, physical violence and murder. The Nazi regime was the first to send Male Homosexuals (no law was enacted against female homosexuality) to concentration camps. The Nazi crimes against this group should be kept in context of how other countries reacted throughout history.
