It may seem surprisg to Amerin rears, but one of the most vibrant human rights movements around the world today is “gay reparatns, ” or polici tend to make amends for the legacy of systemic discrimatn on the basis of sexual orientatn and genr inty.

In the last alone, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Spa, and the Uned Kgdom have embraced gay reparatns. A gay pri flag hangs at half-staff durg a memorial service for the victims of Florida’s Pulse nightclub shootg San Diego, California, on June 12, 2016. The polici hardly prise a homogeno experience, and they do not entail givg people money simply for beg gay, as some spect.

AMERINS STILL GREATLY OVERTIMATE U.S. GAY POPULATN

In most untri, gay reparatns are limed to a ernment apology to the LGBTQ muny for past wrongs and a promise to do better the future. In 2008, the German ernment opened a monument to gay victims of the Holot, an unknown number whom perished Nazi ncentratn mps, many of them victims of gome medil experiments tend to eradite their homosexualy. In still other untri, gay reparatns have centered on a pardon to anyone nvicted unr laws that crimalized same-sex attractn, as the Uned Kgdom, which 2017 issued a posthumo pardon to those nvicted of “gross cency, ” cludg Alan Turg, the mathematician creded wh shorteng the end of World War II; or even fancial pensatn for wag or pensns lost due to havg spent time prison or a mental stutn bee of a homosexual offense, as Spa sce 2009 and Germany sce 2016.

The clost the untry has e to embracg gay reparatns was 2019, when, on the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall rts, the New York Police Department issued a belated apology for the raid that triggered the rebelln. Surely, the absence of gay reparatns—or even a discsn of them— the Uned Stat is not out of a rosy history ee of systemic discrimatn toward the LGBTQ muny, although a valid argument n be ma that this history is not particularly well known, save, perhaps, for “don’t ask, don’t tell. ” That famo 1993 policy allowed gays, lbians, and bisexuals to serve the ary as long as they kept their sexual orientatn a secret.

Des before “don’t ask, don’t tell, ” om the 1920s through at least the 1960s, there was the policy of “entrapment, ” which volved unrver police officers sendg flirtat signals to other men they prumed to be homosexual the hop of ensnarlg them to illic activy. Acrdg to the historian Eric Cervi’s book The Deviant’s War, War, which is about gay rights pneer Frank Kameny, the 15 years after World War II, “homosexual arrts—cludg those for sodomy, dancg, kissg, or holdg hands—occurred at the rate of one every ten mut, ” for a grand total of 1 ln arrts.
