      pretty homophobic?

      queer people in concentration camps had their own identifier, a pink triangle, and it was bigger than identifiers of other imprisoned groups, so they could be seen better by the guards

        Right. They were ever-so-slightly homophobic. We don’t want to overstate things here.

        And yet they did still manage to force them to share beds despite that basically the reason for them being there. That really puts the icing on the hypocrisy cake.

      Despite the leadership around and including Rohm being quite gay.

          According to the account by J.Fest, the perpetrators found Rohm and many of his henchmen in bed that evening. The other arguably gay aspect of Nazi culture is the Waffen SS officer uniform, it’s very stylish compared with the grimly functional attires of the allied forces. None of this is an indictment of gay culture but interesting that it manifests in fascist regimes. Fragile men attempting to become more masculine go so far with their efforts that horseshoe theory comes into effect.

    I read it backwards and thought it was gay people vs buff Nazis or something. About 5 seconds later I was confused and then disappointed.
