"The American homosexual movement really only began in the 1940s after the Allied defeat of the Nazis. ...the center of international "gay" power in the world did in fact shift from Germany to the United States after the demise of the Third Reich.
This represented a huge setback for the "gay" movement, requiring it to begin "from scratch" as it were, since America in the 1940s was at least as family-centered as Germany had been in the 1860s."
