This is the same mentality as Holocaust denial. And I'm Jewish so I get to make that comparison. And I don't and never will work for Disney so there.

I'm not Jewish, but I know Jewish neighbours who I'm friends with. I have never heard them compare anything to Holocaust denial, ever. Why do you think those things are comparable? I mean, just the fact that it was a historical event we have tons of documentation for, eyewitness accounts, physical evidence across landscapes, would differentiate it from modern TQ activism against lesbians. B/c the latter is a live issue, and cannot be easily seen by a lot of people?

There is a push to eliminate homosexuality via chemical/physical means, and this is it. The Nazis also killed gays in addition to Jews and other groups of people.

Have we forgotten about electric shock therapy in the US (up until the 90s btw!) and chemical castration in the UK as a means of conversion therapy? Or when gay bashing actually meant going out and killing gay people? Or hell, what’s happening in Iran today with homosexuals being forced to convert or be killed? Roaming groups of religious police who murder same sex couples in African countries... etc

Why do we have to compare it to the Nazi regime when this mindset is all over the place even today?

Electric shock therapy (Electroconvulsive therapy) is still a thing. I had to check myself in to a mental hospital for intense suicidal ideation (like I was legit ready to do it, I needed some other people besides myself to stop me) and in the 4 days I stayed there, electric shock therapy was one of the things I was offered for my depression. That's when I realized I was better off outside than inside. I don't want to get too specific but this happened after 2015 in a very scientifically/medically advanced part of America at a fancy private hospital that my insurance somehow covered. (I'm much better now.)

Oh yes, ECT is still a thing but it’s no longer used as treatment for homosexuality. I’ve considered the treatment for myself for resistant depression.

I’m glad you’re better now. ❤️

Because they are National SOCIALISTS. The Holocaust was an act of leftists. Hitler and Mussolini were both of the left then, now, and forever. The anti-Israel hate speech of the so-called left is no different than the Jew hate of the 1930s. It's the exact same shit coming out of different assholes.

And the Nazis were pro-tr-nscult. In fact, by their arbitrary and bigoted standards, Dr. Mengele was a pioneer in the field of tr-ns research.
