     Much of lesbian/gay history claims that the Nazis pursued a campaign against homosexual men, similar to the mass murder of Jews, which lead^[sic] to a Homocaust, the systematic extermination of homosexual men. In an article published in 2002, Jim Steakley, an American activist and historian, looks back self-critically at how he and others contributed to the myth of a Homocaust in the early 1970s (Steakly 2002: 55, also Jellonek かつ Lautmann 2002: 12).
