Why were homosexuals Jehovah's and gypsies included in the Holocaust?

incorrect answer: Answer Much like the Jews. First they were excluded from many daily routines and eventually rounded up, put into camps and executed. Answer They too were locked up and killed.

correct answer: Homosexuals were not targeted by the Nazis specifically. In fact, several of the Nazi Party leadership were secretly (to outsiders) homosexuals. Sometimes accusations of homosexuality were made against political rivals (inside & outside) the Nazi Party for the purpose of removing them from power. For the most part, if homosexuals ended up in Concentration Camps it was usually due to some other reason: Jewish ancestry, Polish, Russian, Slavic, gypsy, political opponent, etc. It has become a false myth that homosexuals were systematically rounded up in the same way that Jews were. Gypsies were rounded up and put in camps because of their criminal family ties.
