Odd... no mention of the homosexual role in bringing the Nazis to power. Guess that's un-PC.
Talk about life-threatening behavior and failure to give it up even in the face of death. Something like today's AIDS epidemic, huh?
Will they note Ernst Rohm as one of the victims?
That's a friggin' dead give-a-way!!
Just as with adultry or any deviant act, especially ones that seem to be filled with emotion or stark feelings need to be dealt with as a sickness.
It's not that the person should be hated or destroyed, but the idea.
Hitler had to eliminate the SA because he had cut a deal the the military. So during the "Night of the Long Knives", Hitler had Roehm and the other leadership of the SA liquidated. Accusations of homosexuality were part of the justification for this. I'm not sure just how homosexual the victims of this purge, or the early Nazi leadership, really were.
About 6,000 homosexuals died in the Nazi work camps during the period as contrasted with about six million Jews.
Thanks for posting the link to that article; it makes it clear that Roehm and his fellow Brownshirts were homosexual.
Yeah... the part about homosexual Nazis trading Jewish children as sex slaves, juxtaposed against the attempt to equate homosexuals and Jews, really makes my blood boil. I am so sick of homosexuals shoving their habits and their revisionism down our throats, I will no longer allow their propoganda to go unchallenged.
(No Gays = No AIDS; No Arabs = No Terror; No French = No Appeasement)
= ('No Jews = No "Jewish Problem"')
Extermination is the last resort of the evil and stupid.
Literalism is the only resort of the unimaginative.
By the way, nice resort to outright anti-semitism there. There is no "Jewish Problem" for anyone who doesn't already desire to kill off the Jews. However, AIDS is a problem regardless of whether one wishes to eliminate gays, terror is a problem regardless of whether one wishes to eliminate Arabs, and appeasement of totalitarians is a problem regardless of how one feels about the French.
The point of my tag, of course, is to challenge people to think about these generalizations and how few and far between the exceptions actually are. Let me know if you find someone with the mental capacity to have such a discussion.
One should not dismiss the fact that the Nazis murdered thousands of homosexuals, however I smell a political agenda. The left loves to jump from one topic to another -- Are you against "gay" marriage? Hitler was against gays, therefore you must be a Nazi... Suddenly, being against the attempt to "redefine" (weaken, destroy) marriage is the same thing as wanting a "Holocaust" against homosexuals. Soon the hedonists will "redefine" child abuse as a form of "love" and anyone who is horrified that anyone would molest children and who wants to protect children from such abuse will be accused of "hating" children.
Look closely, those little tics in my quote above are called 'apostrophes.' Like the ones on either side of the word apostrophe above. They indicate a semi quote and indicate that I think your statements are the EQUIVALENT of saying that they are moral equivalent to anti-semitism without adopting such a belief myself.
I am semetophilic. I simply despise individuals who advocating 'wiping out' fellow human beings as a solution to any problem. ("No x = No y problem" is pure Nazithink.)
Your last paragraph is strictly disingenuous. I don't think that is what you are saying in the least.
Well.... then it's apparent they're not talking about the NAZI's, because they were left wing SOCIALISTS. Who btw just happened to HATE the 'further left', Communists!
(The left NEVER lets little things like FACTS get in the way of a good rant).
" ... look at the terror homosexuals in Germany experienced at the hands of right-wing left wing socialist fanatics."
There that's better. The truth is what the truth is.
"tagged as homosexuals and punished because of it"
Yes, it was a way to accuse and humiliate a political adversary, because it was easy to accuse and difficult for the accused to defend himself from. (After all, you can't prove a negative . . . )
***I.E. MANY of those accused were NOT homosexual; it was a convenient way to get rid of people. And the homosexuals who were charged with it, were somehow "enemies of the state" or they would have been left alone, as were so many homosexuals in the Nazi structures of power - even AFTER the Brownshirts were purged.
Can't recall the name of the General whom Hitler hounded out with this accusation; even though he was well respected, and that treatment almost caused a revolt of the officers. The accused, though, was too humiliated to make a public issue of it. It was a Gestapo file based upon another guy with the same last name, but they intended all the while to use it against the good General, even though they knew it wasn't him . . .
Another good source detailing the homosexual sexual depravity of the Nazi leaders is a new book: Salvation is From the Jews.
The record shows that charges of homosexuality were largely a pretext for the Nazis to eliminate political opposition, and that they really didn't have much of a problem with it - on the contrary, the Nazis were infested with it, up to the highest ranks (Hitler himself is alleged to have been a homosexual prostitute in Vienna).
1% of the "homosexual" population - who were basically political prisoners - died at the hands of the Nazis, vs. 85% of Jews.
This is why these comparisons are so offensive. The homosexuals are at the forefront of the modern Nazi movement (also known as transnational socialist, or "progressive"), just as they were at the forefront of the original Nazi movement.
