    Because we, being meticulous dutch people, recorded everyone’s religion on their passport…

    Thankfully, we had a few heroes!

      This is exactly the reason why collecting data about race and religion of people is illegal in France since WWII.

        And in the Netherlands too. We’re very wary about registering religion or background even today.

    Check out his Wikipedia. After joining the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance, he partnered up with a radical periodical editor and a lesbian resistance fighter to start producing fake ID cards. They blew up the Records Office because thats who was able to verify the legitimacy (or lack there of) of said ID cards.

    Legend. Fuck Nazis, always and forever. Remember, most gays don’t actually want to hurt people, but start killing innocents in masse, or our own, and they’ll put you in the ground with no remorse.

    We just choose peace because you don’t want to know what happens when we actually go to war.

      Ernst Röhm was gay, he was the founder of the SA, the paramilitary wing of the Nazi party. So, no, homosexuals are not more or less violent, they are just humans with all the good and bad that comes with humanity.
