Are there any other sources that can be cited regarding the use of this symbol in Nazi germany? This may be perfectly valid stuff, but rhetorically speaking, the history here and at the linked site sound very urban legend-like.
Although one Nazi journalist called for Paragraph 175 to be applied to lesbians as well as gay men, it never was. They were never among the groups marked for removal to the camps, under the black triangle or any other. Some lesbians were targeted for violence or imprisonment by the Nazis, but these were arbitrary actions by soldiers who knew they did not have to follow even their own laws.
Lesbian history of the period is pretty well-documented in such books as Claudia Schoppmann's Days of Masquerade: Life Stories of Lesbians During the Third Reich.Dybryd 00:51, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DELETE THIS PROPAGANDA -- This is all POV
This whole "article" is simply a propaganda and rebranding exercise for militant lesbians to claim this symbol as their own. To do this by detracting from the Nazi use of the symbol is horrific, disgusting and a total misrepresentation of fact.
This propaganda is not supported by any genuine evidence, and should be removed forthwith.
This is simply one further example of the normal of Wikipedia -- a wikinazi cabal attempting to change history to suit their version of wikialty. No doubt with "admin" assistance, as per usual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.210.169 (talk • contribs) 18:15, 14 January 2008
- You say the contents of this article is not supported by genuine evidence. Might I ask on what you base that on? Where, who or what is your source for these claims? Fred26 (talk) 11:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Since the article makes it very clear that no good evidence links the black triangle to lesbianism, and the claim that the Nazis persecuted lesbians is tenuous at best, I cannot see what is being complained about here - so I am removing the tag. I have added that the triangle was also labelled "arbeitsscheu" in one table of the meaning of badges (not the one currently illustrated here, but this one). Paul B (talk) 14:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
