GAY MEN UNR THE NAZI REGIME

It is unclear how many of the men publicly or privately intified as gay or were part of gay muni and works that had been tablished Germany before the Nazi rise to power. The latter term dated to 1869, when a pamphlet advotg for crimalizatn of sexual relatns between men ed the term “Homosexualät” (“homosexualy”).

In ntrast, the work of gay men that veloped around thor Adolf Brand and his anizatn Gemeschaft r Eigenen (The Communy of Kdred Spirs) took a different approach. Gay newspapers and journals, such as Die Frndschaft (Friendship) and Der Eigene (translated varly, but this ntext implyg “his own man”), ntributed to the growth of gay works. In a further latn, the Nazis ed new laws and police practic to arrt and ta whout trial a limed number of gay men begng late 1933 and early 1934.

MY GAY PRISON GANG FIGHTS NEO-NAZIS

Acrdg to Rosa von Prnheim’s documentary Men, Hero, and Gay Nazis (see excerpt on page 2 of this say), 10 to 15 percent of Germany’s Nazi extremists are gay. Kuhnen’s announcement that he was gay, along wh his publitn of a pamphlet advotg for the cln of gays the neo-Nazi movement, sparked a divisn the ranks of the var Nazi groups gag strength at the time. Typilly though, when one hears the words ‘Nazi’ and ‘homosexual’ njunctn, one thks of the atroci gays were forced to endure unr Hler’s regime.

HOW THE ALT-RIGHT IS USG SEX AND CAMP TO ATTRACT GAY MEN TO FASCISM

Even today, there is no clear number of how many gay people were killed; no unt was taken, so historians n only timate based on arrt numbers and ncentratn mp occupatns. That historians and rearchers ignored for s the plight of homosexuals durg the Nazi reign allowed important rerds to be lost and rellectns to bee cloudy. Further, homosexualy was illegal Germany before Hler rose to power, so many who died the mps uld have long been the closet, even to their ath.

Arrts for homosexualy rose om around 2, 000 between 1931 and 1933 to over 24, 000 between 1937 and 1939, acrdg to David Fernbach’s troductn to The Men wh the Pk Triangle. In 1941, Heger’s mp got a new manr, nicknamed “Dtbag” by the prisoners, who broke up the “gay” bunkhoe and dispersed gay prisoners to the rt of the populatn, but his persecutn of gay prisoners was worse than his precsor’s. It would be absurd, then, to suggt that the same Nazi party that tortured and killed so many gays uld have been found wh the help of an army n by gay men or that Hler himself was gay.

Many of the early meetgs took place gay bars and “pick-up jots”, cludg Berl’s Eldorado, where bisexual Karl Ernst and gay Pl Rohrbe, SA lears, ma many of the plans for the New Orr. The two men attend the theater together, took long walks and hik, went on overnight mpg trips, vatned known gay getaways, and even bought matchg cloth.

Although Machtan fails to tablish nclively that Hler was gay, he do make one important fact evint: Hler was fortable around gays, beg gay tablishments, and untg gay men as his iends. While there is no evince that Röhm any way protected the homosexual populatn, asi om his iends and lovers, is a fact that arrts for homosexualy didn’t rise until after Röhm’s executn 1934.

This is not to imply that gay men had ee reign before Röhm’s ath; social mor and ernment lerature nmned homosexualy, but ltle actn was taken agast gays. Havg tablished a plan for the perfect Aryan race wh Himmler, Hler had no more e for the gay muny, even those who had helped him his rise to power. Gays and lbians were els the geic manipulatn need to create the master race, so they, like Jews, gypsi, Pol, the disabled, and so many others, were expendable.

What the Nazis did to the homosexuals of Europe pails number pared to other groups, and all those who were victims of the Nazi regime suffered unimagably. Still, Hler’s associatn wh the gay muny is noteworthy that, among those persecuted unr his le, is only wh the gay muny and the Catholic Church that he had extend exposure.

It is easy to speculate about Hler’s sexualy, the number of gays Hler’s service, and the extent to which Hler ed his gay associat before stg them asi, but we will never tly know what was the md of the madman. To unrstand why gay and lbian dividuals would jo groups that appear to vlate their self-tert, one mt unrstand why anyone would jo so-lled “hate groups”. However, the ter plays a more important role for gay racists, acrdg to Waldner, Mart, and Caper the Journal of Polil and Milary Soclogy.
