In Nazi concentration camps, a pink triangle was placed on LGBTQ+ people that were sent to the camps.

“	Not only is homosexuality a sin, but anyone who supports fags is just as guilty as they are. You are both worthy of death.	„

Homophobia or Anti-LGBT Sentiment is the fear, dislike, hatred or prejudice against anyone that is defined as having homosexual tendencies or the fear, dislike, hatred, or prejudice against people who are non-heterosexual and/or non-cisgender (LGBT) in general. It can range from contempt to outright physical contact or even murder from people who oppose their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Sources

There are several sources for this intolerance towards homosexuals and LGBTQ+ people, such as from religious teachings, such as in Lot's story in the Quran and "Leviticus 18" in which it states that it is an abomination to lie with another person of the same gender. There is dispute among several critics pointing out that the original translation of the message was closer to "It is an abomination for a man to lie with a boy" or believe that the Bible meant something else when it described this law, and sometimes believe that an early person was against same-sex couples and wrote about it in the Bible to prohibit it.
