The term bara ( 薔薇), " rose" in Japanese, has historically been used in Japan as a pejorative for men who love men, roughly equivalent to the English language term " pansy". [13] [14] :40 Beginning in the 1960s, the term was reappropriated by Japanese gay media: notably with the 1961 anthology Ba-ra-kei: Ordeal by Roses [ ja], a collection of semi-nude photographs of homosexual writer Yukio Mishima by photographer Eikoh Hosoe, [14] :34 and later with Barazoku ( 薔薇族, lit. "rose tribe") in 1971, the first commercially produced gay magazine in Asia. [15] The use of the rose as a prominent symbol of love between males is supposedly derived from the Greek myth of King Laius having affairs with boys under rose trees. [16] Since the 2000s, bara has been used by non-Japanese audience as an umbrella term to describe a wide variety of Japanese and non-Japanese gay media featuring love and sex between masculine men. [17] The rose is also the sacred flower of Eros, [18] the Greek god of love and sex, and patron of love between men. [19] Eros was responsible for the first rose to sprout on Earth, followed by every flower and herb. [20] Roses are a symbol of pederasty in ancient Greece: handsome boys were metaphorically called roses by their male admirers in homoerotic poems such as those by Solon, Straton, Meleager, Rhianus, and Philostratos.

Another difficulty is that very few lesbians shared testimonies about their experiences during this time. This is partially because the topic of sexual relations between women remained taboo for decades after the Nazi era. Huneke, Samuel Clowes (2021).

Watch Philip Attwood, Keeper of Coins and Medals, showcase some of the hundreds of LGBTQ badges in the Museum's collection. Based on archival sources, it is clear that some lesbians were arrested and sent to concentration camps. What were some of the reasons for their arrest and detention, especially considering sexual relations between women were not illegal under the Nazi regime? That was the point of the rainbow badge in the first place, so they knew there was an ally there – and that’s become heavily diluted,” Harry says. ‘I love seeing a shared symbol of unity, but it’s been co-opted’ In lesbian prisoners’ paperwork, camp authorities usually listed a racial, political, social, or criminal reason as the primary cause for their arrest. In a few cases, the authorities also noted their sexuality. Distinct lesbian communities developed around this time. Lesbians founded social clubs and associations to foster networks and connections. The most famous lesbian associations were the Violetta and Monbijou women’s clubs ( Damenklub Violetta and Damenklub Monbijou) in Berlin. These associations held informal gatherings in lesbian bars and nightclubs, such as the dance club Monokel-Diele. Lesbians also gathered at the famous Eldorado nightclub.

To encourage Aryan procreation, the Nazis adopted a variety of programs and laws. One example is the Lebensborn program. It encouraged Aryan women to have many children, even outside of marriage. At the same time, the Nazi regime tried to prohibit or limit the procreation of other supposedly inferior groups. In July 1933, a new law mandated sterilization of people with supposedly hereditary disabilities. Other laws, such as the 1935 Nuremberg Laws , defined who could have sex with whom. The Nazis did not systematically prosecute or persecute lesbians solely because of their sexuality. Under the Nazi regime, there was no official law or policy prohibiting sexual relations between women. This is unlike the case of gay men. The Nazis did not create any separate policies that singled out lesbians as a problem for Aryan procreation. Their reasoning drew on widespread attitudes about the differences between male and female sexuality. The Nazis concluded that Aryan lesbians could easily be persuaded or forced to bear children.

For example, they say some people may wear the badge but still misuse trans or non-binary people’s pronouns but “say ‘I love the gays'” and choose get the badge. “People need to learn the reasons why the flag is there,” Finn says. The rise of protest movements in western countries in the 1960s and 1970s gave badges a new lease of life. For example, in the UK Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), badges were produced in huge quantities. Meanwhile the Museum had continued over the years to acquire badges in a piecemeal way through occasional gifts. Then in the late 1970s the decision was taken to collect more proactively and the number of badges began to grow rapidly. As there was no money available, it was a matter of encouraging donations, and we found that people were extraordinarily generous.
