Homosexuals are perverts

I own a copy of Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," written in the late 50's. In the early sections describing Hitler's ascendancy, Shirer has to make numerous references to homosexuals, due to the nature of the men (especially the Brownshirts) most responsible for putting Hitler in power. What's interesting is that the words homosexual(homosexuality), and pervert(perversion) are used virtually interchangeably. And this was commonly accepted usage in those days, from what I gather.

How things have changed in less than 50 years, eh?

And that leads me to wonder if this book will eventually be banned by "sensitive" librarians nationwide?

Most likely, a new edition will come out - if it hasn't already - with these references deleted.

I own a copy of Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,"

I have read it...

So, the NAZIs (National Socialists) thought the homosexuals were perverts... So?

Nature defines what is perverted, not man.

Of course, both the NAZIs and the homosexuals are at war with what is written in the Judaic book of Genesis.

Shirer also wrote of the homo-pedophile orgies of the NAZI hierarchy as I remember...
