Wuzzy, 2 months ago to Germany

Only 30 years ago, #Germany removed §175 StGB. This article made same-#sex sexual activity between #men punishable by #prison. It was a remnant of the Kaiserreich, made worse under the #Nazi dictatorship and continued to exist WAY after the fall of Nazi Germany.

This #oppression was a great #evil and it's good that it's gone.

Today, there are still ~60 countries where a similar law exists. https://www.equaldex.com/
