Hitler persecuted the gays, I would suggest that's pretty close. That's just the most obvious example. Many people don't know, but before Hitler rose to power, Germany was the most progressive nation when it came to gay culture and tolerance.

As I mentioned, being able to hide it, or being of any race makes it hard to 'round them up' in ways races have been during darker times of history, but gay people have definitely been persecuted, and very violently. I don't know how you can say otherwise.

Yes being able to hide it helps a lot, I won't argue that. And that's why I'm saying that if you are 'open' about it, you've become a visible minorty.
