Regarding Hitler's homophobia vs Hitler's gayness... I was recently treated to the conservative historical re-write that Hitler was all down with the gays and that the SS was comprised of all gays until he discovered the SS plot on his life, and only then did Adolph start murdering gays.
Is this new or have I just been spared it until now?
I've got nothing in particular against Merkel--but dayum!, she really does bear a certain facial resemblance to Hitler that's both amusing and terrifying.
The standard analysis is that he killed gays (and Jews) because he hated himself for not being a pure, heterosexual Aryan type (he was also part Jewish), so he did the obvious, logical thing and decided to destroy in others what he hated in himself. At least that's what I remember from my readings of a long, long time ago.
Is Merkel?
