It is important to note that not all of the men arrted and nvicted unr Paragraph 175 intified as gay.

However, the Nazi mpaign agast homosexualy and the regime’s zealo enforcement of Paragraph 175 ma life Nazi Germany dangero for gay men. Gay men Germany were not a monolhic group, nor did the Nazi regime view them as such.

This diversy meant that gay men had a wi range of experienc Nazi Germany. For example, gay men active anti-Nazi polil movements risked beg arrted as polil opponents.

Already the mid- to late-neteenth century, there were ditns of nascent and growg gay muni Germany.

Among the terms were “gleichgchlechtlich” (“same-sex oriented”) and “homosexuell” (“homosexual”).

However, Hler and other Nazi lears rarely spoke publicly about homosexualy. However, Röhm’s posn the Nazi learship did not temper the movement’s nmnatn of homosexualy and gay muni. Shortly thereafter, they sought to dismantle the visible gay cultur and works that had veloped durg the Weimar Republic.

One of the Nazis’ first actns agast gay muni was to close gay bars and other meetg spots. Among them was the Eldorado, which had bee a proment symbol of Berl’s gay culture.

However, ci like Berl and Hamburg, some tablished gay bars were able to rema open until the mid-1930s. Nohels, the Nazi closur and creased police surveillance ma far more difficult for gay men to nnect wh each other. Another early actn unrtaken by the Nazi regime was the elimatn of gay newspapers, journals, and publishg ho.

Newspapers had been one of the primary means of munitn Germany’s gay muni. In a further latn, the Nazis ed new laws and police practic to arrt and ta whout trial a limed number of gay men begng late 1933 and early 1934.

Those arrted clud a number of gay men, some of whom were imprisoned the regime’s early ncentratn mps. The early measur were jt the begng of the Nazi mpaign agast homosexualy.
