I didn't see any memorials for the fucking Nazis, tho. You know why? Because we don't memorialize evil. We remember it through education.

Today I'll walk past Confederate monuments in my town, where a handful of days ago people chanted Nazi slogans.

There is no principled defense for this in a civilized nation in 2017.

This is the memorial for the homosexuals persecuted by the Nazis. Its monolithic structure conveys the weight of living as a queer.pic.twitter.com/5dvFswbBig

Through a window, its only external feature, you can see a film of queer couples displaying affection. A peek into private life.

Living queer is still so often something done privately because of persecution like this. That's why we need these in this world.

We don't need statues to Robert E. Lee.

I mean I didn't go to every single monument.

Horrendous. My heart stops thinking about it. Idle thought... were there any for disabled people? I've never heard of one.

It's the most recent one (which might be why you don't know of it)! It's pretty new but it does indeed exist!

Glad isn't the correct word. I want them remembered. I can't think too often of the Holocaust bc doing so can derail my functioning. So sad.
