Yes John, Himmler was responsible for the creation of the wonderfully tolerantly named 'Reich Central Office for Combatting Homosexuality and Abortion.' You are right, estimates of numbers vary, but their persecution was as systematic as that of the Jews and other unacceptable groups. Numberwise they are obviously going to be less, as there were less of them.

I find it very telling that martin is unable to answer whether he is out raged by their persecution. People who pick and choose their prejudices are undeserving of tolerance.
