Right, it's true Nazis targeted homosexuals but they were not Holocaust victims. Many were, victims of Nazi policy being imprisoned or placed in othe institutions in order to undergo conversion therapy. Holocaust studies recognise as Holocaust victims, the Aktion T4 victims, murdered in so called mercy killings in keeping with their Eugenics; Roma and if course, Jews. Russian prisoners of war were, after the Eastern Front fiasco, targeted to be murdered rather than interned. Of course, millions died as a result of Fascism but Homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, clergy..were not Holocaust victims but victims of war. That many Trans and LGBTQI+ now consider themselves as Holocaust victims is inaccurate.
Agree that's edging the line, too, to broaden definition of the Holocaust in that way. Homosexuals (and political prisoners and Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.) were targets and victims of Nazi atrocities. Would not say these groups were victims of war -- victims of ideology and state repression moreso, the worst of the targeting of these groups took place before the war began in Europe.
It does seem their MO to broaden the definition of something to add themselves in. I was very supportive of men who wanted to live as women tbh. I felt very protective of them in my job. It's hard being a woman. And they explained it, as I remember it, I want to live as a woman because I feel like I am one, though I'm a man.
Not that I actually am one and want all your rights. I oddly feel like I've been stabbed in the back and my good nature has been betrayed.

Yes, I agree. I didn't word it very well.
