And Roehm was whacked in "the night of the long knives" because SA open gay practices were turning conservative Germans away from Chancelor Hitler's government.

This was 80 years ago. The same is going on in Ukraine as we speak, the night of long knives is being re-enacted. Ruling Nazis are killing off their competition from the Maidan movement.

Ernst Rohm’s downfall was due to Himmler and Goring plotting against him and trying to convince Hitler that Rohm was disloyal and planning a coup. He was a homosexual but that was not widely known in Germany at the time. Rohm’s brownshirts were considered a threat by the Army due mainly to their sheer numbers approaching three million.

According to John Toland’s biography Hitler himself had no homosexual proclivities.
