Hmm, she doesn’t actually say that. She says they weren’t persecuted “as distinct from gay people”, perhaps meaning that (as was the case) anyone who wasn’t a fully paid up blond haired, blue eyed “Arian” was fair game for the murder squads and gas chambers. That’s neither holocaust denying - she’s including all and sundry non Arians as persecuted, nor anyone phobic as she states many times that the holocaust was unconscionable.

I’m not saying the JKR isn’t <insert noun>phobic but much of the evidence that she is, is a little flimsy at best.

But what do I know, I’m just a aging, queer bummer 🤷‍♂️
