Paragraph 175 talks about either having sex with an animal or gay sex will be punished by prison. After much pressure by the public the law was reformed to allow for some loopholes. They added two sections of loopholes and the a third section that said the same thing as the original law. This showed how the times in Germany were trying to change but the government didn't want it to. There was a struggle between the public and government. The openness of gay sex was more acceptable at this time as opposed to the 1920's where in the song "The Lavender Song" people would be put in prison for talking about such things.
