With the exception of Jean-Marie Le Pen, all the most high-profile fascists in Europe in the past thirty years have been gay.

Most of the article is spent cataloguing examples of this, although it goes much further back than the past thirty years, even suggesting that Hitler was gay.

This belief in the superiority of homosexuality had a strong German tradition that grew up at the turn of the twentieth century...they preached that gay men were the foundation of all nation-states and represented an elite, warrior caste that should rule.

This was interesting, kinda reminds me of the heterophobe4lyfe guy we have here.

The article ventures a couple potential explanations for the phenomenon: that they are in denial and hyper-focus on toughness as compensation, or

"Generally condemned by a society that continues to be largely hostile to gays, some men may find refuge and a new power status in the far right. Through adherence to the politics espoused by fascist groups, a new identity emerges - one where they aren't outcasts, because they are White Men, superior to everyone else. They render the gay part of their identity invisible - or reject the socially less acceptable parts, like being feminine - while vaunting what they see as superior."

It's a completely dishonest fucking article because it doesn't differentiate between bisexual and gay. If you knew even an ounce of history you would understand why that ruins the entire fucking premise.

It's a tl;dr. I didn't editorialize. Feel free to do so, though.
