Not-so-fun-fakt: The actual Nazis were pretty homophobic.
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.
Idk sounds pretty homophobic to me
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.
Are you trying to say the Nazis were, in fact, not all about diversity, equity, and inclusion?
Despite the leadership around and including Rohm being quite gay.
Well, that was before the Night of the Long Knives.
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.
