• ... that the cadet scandal of 1942 resulted in a widespread persecution of gay men in Buenos Aires?

Source:

• Página/12 (in Spanish). Quote: "The incident that became a homosexual hunt and became famous as the cadet scandal was only known by the newspapers of the time and by elusive witnesses (...). The alleged charge of corruption of minors was a subterfuge to hide the persecution of gays. (...) it was a homosexual hunt." ("El hecho que devino cacería homosexual y pasó a la celebridad como el escándalo de los cadetes solo se conocía por los periódicos de la época y por testigos esquivos. (...) Se alegaba supuesto cargo de corrupción de menores pero era un subterfugio para esconder la persecución a los gays. (...) era una cacería homosexual")
• Página/12 (in Spanish). Quote: "Of all the versions of the 1942 Great Raid, which actually appears to have been not one but several raids..." ("De todas las versiones de la Gran Razzia de 1942, que en realidad parece que fueron no uno sino varios allanamientos")
• Juan José Sebreli (1997). Escritos sobre escritos, ciudades bajo ciudades, p. 311 (in Spanish).

• Infobae (in Spanish.) Quote: "'The cadet scandal': the story of a great homosexual hunt in Argentina." ("'El escándalo de los cadetes': la historia de una gran cacería homosexual en la Argentina")

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article is well written, very in-depth and well-sourced. The hook is properly cited and interesting, I'm assuming good faith on all offline and/or Spanish sources. This was obviously a historically significant and well-documented event so I feel comfortable with that. I noticed a few minor typos and corrected them, but it's a solid article besides. Earwig did not pick up any copyvio. QPQ is not needed as nominator has fewer than 5 DYK credits. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:16, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
