In Berlin, I saw memorials to the Jewish people killed by Nazis, the Roma people killed by Nazis, the homosexuals killed by Nazis.

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.

I'm curious; did it have a date to go with the description? Europe wasn't exactly queer friendly, right after the war, so added later?
