How many gay men died in the holocaust?

It is not known exactly how many GLBT people were persecuted but it is guessed at that 5,000 to 15,000 homosexual males and other 'deviants' (bi-sexual and transgender were not separated out) were in camps or murdered. Lesbians appear to have escaped some of the persecution, but there still were many murders and more physical and mental abuse by the Nazi's.

Under Nazi German law, homosexual males were treated with the same severity as pedophiles, rapists and serial sex-murderers.
