User:Annamita/LGBTQIA+ History in Europe

Overview
Europe was always very supportive of homosexuality. It is shown in Greek & Roman cultures that same-sex marriage had no laws against it until The Rise of Christ, making the topic almost left to rot. In the 18th & 19th Centuries, people who showed signs of homosexuality could be burned or hung. The records of these cases are very brief and private. However, during the French Revolution, the French rebels wrote it off the laws, and many countries followed suit. In the 20th century, there was a set of suppression by the Nazis (See Lesbian history during the Nazi regime) and many marches and rights. All NATO countries slowly implemented laws allowing LGBTQIA+ topics: Gay & Lesbian Marriage, Transgender Surgeries, and overview of the public. However, Soviet countries did not as much. When the Soviet regimes fell, most countries accepted it. Today there are many "Pride Parades" and celebration of people who identify as that in liberal families. However, there are still many things European LGBTQIA+ activists are working for.
