Smith, William (1873). "Eros". Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology. London, UK. {{ cite book}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher ( link) Because there was no single law or policy that applied to sexual relations between women, lesbians had a wide range of experiences in Nazi Germany. These experiences were not solely determined by their sexuality. Rather, other factors shaped lesbians’ lives during the Nazi era. Among them were supposed “racial” identity, political attitudes, social class, and gender norms. Based on these factors as well as others, some lesbians (especially those who were working class) were imprisoned or sent to concentration camps. In these instances, they were classified as political prisoners or asocials. Jewish lesbians largely faced Nazi persecution and mass murder as Jews. In most cases, their sexuality was a secondary factor. The Germans and their collaborators murdered an unknown number of Jewish lesbians during World War II.

He says a lot of members of staff are “still older straight white men” so being able to identify allies is important. However, Harry doesn’t think this is down to individual members of staff who are just being given rainbow badges and lanyards without knowing the context behind them –“that’s an organisation-level mistake”, he says. Like Harry, Jo draws a distinction between a seven-colour arched rainbow, and the Pride flag. “There’s a reason the six-colour Pride flag exists, it stands for stuff and it means a lot to a lot of people,” she says.

It is important to note that such relations do not always fit neatly within the category of “lesbianism.” This is because not all women who engaged in same-sex relations were lesbians. Some women developed same-sex relationships and later described them as a source of comfort in the camps. Others even saw them as necessary for survival.

Finn doesn’t think the issue is actually with the NHS – but rather, people now associating the rainbow with the NHS rather than Pride. “It’s a complex thing,” they tell me. Lesbian badges are also an important part of lesbian culture and community building. They have been used at lesbian events, pride parades and rallies as a way to promote unity and create safe spaces for lesbians to connect and celebrate their identities.
