This thread is (mostly? entirely?) about hate-crimes.

The title is LGBTQI... Rights.

There are a lot of aspects to the struggle. Hate crimes against gays are only a part of the topic. Courage, marginalization, alienization, struggle, family, pride and celebration are also included, I would think.

If we want to get beyond the simplistic slogans, and if we want to support gay Arabs and gay Palestinians, this is well worth watching to the end.

The internal struggle of the LGBTQ Palestinian community is constant and often overshadowed by the Israeli Palestinian conflict. "Shunned" delves into a community about which very little is known or spoken of.

You specifically asked about the NAZIS, so I tried to answer your question. Since I'm a mathematician and not a historian, I did my best to direct you to a more authoritive website. Here's another one.

The Pink Triangle: From Nazi Label to Symbol of Gay Pride

Pink triangles were originally used in concentration camps to identify gay prisoners

Homosexual prisoners at the concentration camp at Sachsenhausen, Germany, wearing pink triangles on their uniforms on December 19, 1938.

What to say you were numerically correct and I was historically accurate?

huh? I don't recall giving any numbers, unless you are referring to numbers that you may have come across pursuing the links, and those aren't my numbers.

True, and if the U.S. really believed in separation of church and state then these should be investigated under laws involving fraud, or truth in labeling. I have heard that there is big money in "straightening people out". 

Joke: you know the meme regarding gays having a bent wrist. Well there is a solution, a simple injection that straightens the wrist and the guy immediately transfers his lust from males to females. So if female is assulted by a "converted" male, can the person providing the service be taken to court for the after affects?

Interesting diagram. Back during the U.S. civil war days there was no attempt to ship the bodies of congressmen home if they died in DC. So there is a congressional cemetary, that now is just a regular cemetary not limited to congressmen. When visiting my sister in DC, one day she took me with her talking her dog, and showed me an interesting tomb Stone for a person who had died of AIDS. in the top corners it had two pairs of superimposed pink triangles. The text read "in Nam they gave me medals for killing men, then they expelled me from the army for loving one" [paraphrase from memory about 1990].

Interesting post. Just curious you indicate that López is the "Alcadesa" of Bogotá. Here in Mallorca we have another Word for "mayor" which we spell "Alca<l>des[s]a" I realice that our use of "SS" as opposed to "S" in Spanish is a spelling thing here differentiating voiced vs unvoiced s/Z. but is the lack of the second "l" a mistype or an actual different spelling. I am aware that the Arab Word meaning "judge" {[al] gadi} from which it comes does not have the second "l" but always assumed that this is standard in Castillano.

Somewhere I picked up a story of this or a similar case that is further complicated because the parents are divorced and the mother has primary custody, and the father is objecting based on religious grounds. Is this the same case?

My comments are generally in blue, unless I forget. Feel free to contact El Espectador and tell them about the missing "l". There's a link above, if it is important to you. Other video titles in this thread miss the accent on "Bogotá", which I include here in this post because it is fairly easy on this particular computer, but sometimes omit if it is inconvenient or if I am in a hurry. I generally don't try to copyedit video titles and such, though. Not unless they piss me off, anyway. We all have our pet peeves, don't we? As you know, stepping on those can cause a breakdown in communication. Ordinary spelling errors, not so much, unless the word is so mangled that folks can't figure it out. Did your parents ever teach you the difference between ordinary everyday misspellings and purposely and intentionally causing offense?
