Partly drivg this new era of tolerance were the doctors and scientists who started lookg at homosexualy and “transvtism” (a word of that era that enpassed transgenr people) as a natural characteristic wh which some were born, and not a “rangement.
In his book The Homo and the Negro, O’Meara says that gay whe men reprent the bt of what Wtern culture has to offer bee of their “telligence” and “bety, ” and that “Negro” reprent the worst, beg pable of “achievement.

It has been said by historian Louis Snyr that Röhm "projected a social orr which homosexualy would be regard as a human behavur pattern of high repute… He flnted his homosexualy public and sisted his croni do the same. Ray Hill, who filtrated the Brish fascist movement for twelve years to gather rmatn for anti-fascist groups, said homosexualy is “extremely prevalent” the Brish far right, and "at one stage the 1980s nearly half of the movement’s anisers were gay".
