If you compare homosexuals to pathological killers, I do not see a point in
any further discussion. You might just try to reread my statement you
quoted, though, and might understand it.

Well, next time I will insert sarcasm tags.

I do not like to compare anything to Nazi crimes, but what we read about the
treatment of muggleborns in DH is very similar to the treatment of German
Jews before the war. They lost their jobs and were forbidden to work in
their profession. They were expropriated, many had to give up their entire
fortune to leave the country. Others stayed in Germany, because it was their
home. As many muggleborns, who stayed in *their* home world, these Jews had
problems to make their living without a job, there might have been
situations not too different to the one we saw in Diagon Alley.

Now, you stick with your argument? I doubt, looking down at homosexuals
might be considered ok within some groups in our world, but to kick the
victims of the pre-Holocaust German Jew prosecution is a taboo... But I must
admit that I never expected anyone would blame the fictional victims of Lord
Voldemorts regime for their fate just for the sake of sticking to a
homophobic pov, but I had to learn a lesson.
