Homosexuality was illegal in Nazi Germany, and an estimated 100,000 men were arrested for this crime, of whom approximately 5,000 to 15,000 were interned in concentration camps.[1] See Homosexuals and the Holocaust for further details.
However, according to some historians, homosexual men constituted the core of the Nazi Party in Germany.[2]
Nazi influence on gay culture
According to Bryan Fischer, of the Idaho Values Alliance:
| “ | Even today in America, it is chic in some homosexual circles for individuals to wear replicas of Nazi Germany uniforms, complete with iron crosses, storm trooper outfits, military boots and even swastikas.
Some parts of the American Nazi movement are explicitly homosexual. The National Socialist League, in fact, at last word restricts its membership to homosexual Nazis.[3] |
