Britain's chief Rabbi has a page on holocaust memorial day in the Times today, he mentions Jews ofcourse but also bosnia/cambodia/rwanda/darfur and christains/jews/muslims/hindus/jains and buddhists....nothing about the tens of thousands of gay men murdered because of who they were...shocking.. it's a shame that most Orthodox Rabbi's can't bring themselves to acknowledge that the Nazi's murdered gays too.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but did anyone hear 'Thought For The Day' on Radio 4 this morning? Jonathan Sachs managed to spend the whole slot on the Holocaust without once mentioning lgbt victims, even referring to 'racist bullying in schools' without once alluding to the ever-present homophobic variety. Disgusting. Send lots of messages to Radio 4, folks. About time. Sorry to rain on the parade, but did anyone hear 'Thought For The Day' on Radio 4 this morning?

It is make me cry because my great-grandfather was a homosexual but he is married with my great-grandmother as he were killed by the Nazi soilder over he is a Hungarian Jew. It is pretty to hear that someone well-known person make a honour for LGBT victims. We are lucky because we may never survive through this time during WWII and in concertation camps. LGBT BLESS VICTIMS FROM THE HOLOCAUST! *1 MINS PRAYING* LOVE ALL OF YOU!

Being photophobic means that reading black text on a white background is difficult, and having a dark grey background with black text certaintly helps.

I'm finding it very hard to read, doesn't bode well for us partially-sighted LGBT folk. What's with the dark-grey background to the Pink News Comments?

It would be nice if it could be recognised sometime that some gay men were forced to serve out their prison term (by the 'allies' after the liberation), despite the fact they had been in a concentration camp. Some gay men could be re-arrested for a repeat offence and Paragraph 175 wasn't even repealed until 1994! I am pleased that such a comprehensive statement has been released.
