Context: Nazis made gay men and transwomen prisoners wear pink triangles to identify them.

Fun Fact: After the war and the camps were liberated, the allies re-arrested those same gay men and transwomen.

I agree legality != morality!

I after WW2 we decided industrial scale murder is wrong and gas chambers are evil yet to this day animals suffer this fate, legally.

Yeah, and slavery is legally fine if they’re criminals, inexperienced, invisible, or animals.

For a moment I thought this post was referring downvotes on reddit. But at the rate it's going, it wouldn't surprise me if that becomes a thing in a few years. "Oh, you downvoted a picture of J.D. Vance? Visa canceled, you're here illegally now; ICE is coming to pick you up."
