The justice minister of the European Union, Franco Frattini, announced this week at the EU parliament in Strasburg that member states which do not eliminate all forms of discrimination against homosexuals, including the refusal to approve “marriage” and unions between same-sex couples, would be subject to sanctions and eventual expulsion from the EU.
According to a report by the Archdioceses of Madrid’s news service Analisis Digital, the commissioner’s statements came as the governments of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Poland ruled against legalizing homosexual “marriage.”
“Homophobia is a violation of human rights and we are watching member states on this issue and reporting on cases in which our efforts have been unsuccessful,” Fratti said. In this way “the Commission and the European Parliament seek to make any refusal to grant homosexual couples the same rights as a married couple a crime of ‘homophobia’,” the report warned.
Frattini-- who was elected EU commissioner after the EU parliament rejected the nomination of the Catholic intellectual Rocco Buttiglione because of his opposition to homosexual unions-- has proposed “designating 2007 as the year of Equal Opportunity. The objectives would be to inform the public about their rights, promote diversity and, as a value of the Union, make this goal a priority.”
Some EU parliamentarians demanded specific sanctions against states that do not follow the anti-discrimination law and refuse to call homosexual unions “marriage,” for example. Michael Cashman, President of the European Parliament’s Intergroup on Gay and Lesbian Rights, proposed expulsion from of the EU of those countries that “do not adhere to anti-discrimination legislation.”
“If we do nothing we are accomplices in the crimes of violence that we see occurring in many member states,” said Cashman, who is also vice president of the organization Gay & Lesbian Humanists. The organization’s website says it is at war with “Catholic-inspired homophobia.”
Nevertheless, reports Analisis Digital, these proposals have been contested by Polish EU representative Jan Tadeusz Masiel, who called the adoption of children by homosexual couples “repulsive” and “shocking.” Likewise, her fellow Polish EU representative, Barbara Kurdycka, said the EU Parliament had no business telling people what they should think about homosexuality.

Vera Laska observed that rape and forced prostitution of Jewish women in camp brothels were rare because, if caught, the SS would risk severe punishment or transfer to the Russian front. “Most SS,” she said, “cherished their camp job which was a sinecure with power.”[*] One exception she cited was the case of a Ravensbrueck SS doctor Rolf Rosenthal who performed an abortion on his nurse/ mistress Gerta Quernheim. Rosenthal was sentenced to death but committed suicide before the sentence could be carried out (Laska 265; Tillion 73).
Since you can't even bother to READ your own sources, I see no point in discussing the facts of what I had stated earlier with such an apologist...
Why am I not surprised???

If the SS would have been larded with homosexuals I would know that for sure.
Really? Were you SS or Gestapo?
In Nazi Germany, though, rape and other forms of sexual violence were not crimes, not from the German point of view nor, at that time, from an international perspective.[5] From a Nazi perspective, the crime was rassenschande, not rape. Ironically, any sexual involvement with a Jew was rassenschande, or “race mixing.” Paragraph 2 of the Nuremberg Law, 1935, reads, “Extramarital intercourse between Jews and subjects of the state of German or related blood is forbidden” (Hochstadt 44). For the Nazi, Jewish women were subhuman, thereby not subject to victimization of a punishable crime. Thus, the act of rape was inconsequential; the act of rassenschande, however, was a grave crime of race defilement and the perpetrator faced punishment. Marion Kaplan reports that ultimately the “judiciary viewed ‘race defilement’ as seriously as ‘high treason.’” By 1939, the average sentence was 4 to 5 years. Not surprisingly, Jewish men received harsher treatment than Aryans (Kaplan 80). Raul Hilberg explains that the courts gave no leniency in these cases and did not allow for mitigating circumstances. He cites the case of Lehmann Katzenberger and Irene Seiler, dramatized years later in the film, Judgment at Nuremberg. Katzenberger, in his late sixties, was executed (45-46). Indeed, by 1945, rassenschande was one of the 43 crimes punishable by death in the Reich (Botwinick 104). However, the only rape case reported in a Croatian concentration camp in 1941 and 1942 resulted in sentencing the rapist, a German guard, to six months in prison for “desecration of the race” (Lengel-Krizman 15).
The concern was with race defilement. The rape of non-Jewish women was lightly punished, if at all, and the rape of German convicts (e.g., political prisoners), was not punished in the slightest.
And this is the last I'll even humor this absurdly ridiculous debate. I don't care whether you change your mind, if I may call it that, in the slightest. Nothing I've posted is for your benefit, but rather for anyone who might accidently read your nonsense.
And a lot of people buy it hook, line and sinker, don't they? I even see it here on FR sometimes with the apologists and advocates for perversion...
‘It is by their fruits you shall recognize them.’
Good. You can go on apologizing for the contemporary perverts somewhere else, changing the subject of discussion, and denying the National Socialists were a bunch of perverted, homosexual, sadomasochistic pigs and murderous clowns.
You and your deranged, demented fantasies that Nazi race-defilement laws were some circuitous homosadist scheme to keep men from getting off are beneath contempt in my view, and that's the last I have to say about this.
I expect the Muslim states will get a pass, and you know what I'm talkin'bout.
I sort of had the idea that if a man was a "fem" he could be executed, butt that "leather" fags were promoted.
Wait! Caesar crossed the Rubicon to fight AGAINST elites, and crap like this.
Why is everybody always looking for Gay Gene? Is he really that hard to find?
I never said that... it was just a componant of it... there you go again.
And, you actually believe the National Socialists? I don't trust a single word of anything they said...

...that's the last I have to say about this.
Good. You can go on apologizing for the contemporary perverts somewhere else (as you have elsewhere), changing the subject of discussion, and denying the National Socialists were a bunch of perverted, homosexual, sadomasochistic pigs and murderous clowns.
Only because they want you to and it is offered by one of their very own... examine the psychology of it... trust none of them...
They are full of homosexuals and pedophiles like the National Socialists were. Michael Jackson now living in Bahrain is an added politically correct bonus for the sadomasochistic, duplicitous deviants...
What was the total number of people that perished in camps?
Looks like it will be the Homos and the Muslims vying for power in Europa.
