If you are in Dallas, please try to attend. Let us know how it goes.

**Moderators, if this must be moved, do not place it in the "Lounge," move it to "GLBT." Thanks.

1. i hate when single groups of the holocaust are singled out no matter what the group is

this was a killing of the whole of mankind, not just one group or two, it would probuably have entailed just about every group on the planet if it had not been stopped..

2. sometimes it's good to point out that other groups were indeed targeted

3. no if you do that then its easy for people who are not part of the group to dismiss it

better to paint it as a crime against everyone then no one can abstain...

4. I understand on some level.

But, notice, this is the FIRST vigil of its kind. It was not until the 90's when gays were distinguished outside of the "criminal" element. Most don't even realize at the liberation of camps, criminals were not released...nor were gays. I chose my avatar for a reason.
