	By the 1930s, governments cracked down harder. In Nazi Germany, LGBTQIA+ people were targeted through book burnings and police raids. Many were sent to concentration camps, marked with pink triangles, and subjected to brutal treatment. Reports of these horrors spread in the 1940s as troops liberated the camps and courts convicted those involved, revealing the extent of Nazi persecution. Afterwards, returning to the U.S., LGBTQIA+ service members faced discrimination and were discharged from the military under "blue discharges," stripping them of veterans’ benefits.

	At the height of the Cold War in the 1950s, the U.S. government labeled LGBTQIA+ people as security risks. Thousands lost their jobs in a wave of discrimination, while activists faced censorship. Yet, resistance grew. ''One: The Homosexual Magazine'' won a Supreme Court case protecting its right to ~~publish~~, marking one of the first legal victories for LGBTQIA+ rights.

	By the 1960s and 1970s, the government took surveillance even further. Under FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, the agency monitored LGBTQIA+ organizations, tracking activists and gathering intelligence on groups like the Mattachine Society and the Daughters of Bilitis. Despite this, LGBTQIA+ activism gained momentum. The Mattachine Society fought legal battles for recognition, standing up to Congress and the courts. Though challenges remained, their efforts paved the way for future activism, proving that LGBTQIA+ people would not be silenced.
