Did you really expect Ed Schulz to know anything accurately about history?
Schulz is to history as Obama is to baseball - limp wristed wuss.
This is such a crock. There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that Hitler was a homosexual. None. But historians just love to try to make him into one, that or saying he was actually Jewish. No proof whatsoever of either innuendo. Go after him on what he did, not on what he didn’t do, which was to ever have ANY known homosexual relationship.
If you read the biographies of Hitler from his youth on, he lusted after one girl in his hometown whom he idolized as a teen, and many women during his life were attracted to him. He surrounded himself with and confided in women within his inner circle. He was quite old fashioned and formal with and very considerate of these women, in fact all women.
When it was the dinner hour at his home with his inner circle of men and women, Hitler would escort a different woman into the dining room each night, and seat her next to him, with Eva Braun on the other side. He had two main female relationships, one who committed suicide, which freaked Hitler out bigtime, and then he spent his later years with Eva Braun, who was his mistress and whom he married right before they offed themselves in the Berlin bunker. I defy anyone to offer proof that Hitler was actually homosexual.
Hitler had already been 'outed' in 1931, through his relationship with his niece, Geli Raubal. She committed suicide, but the resulting scandal certainly did not help Hitler in the 1932 German presidential election, which he lost. As flaglady has correctly noted, no serious historian has ever presented a scrap of evidence that Hitler was a homosexual. He was a lot of evil things -- but not, evidently, that.
He was also largely indifferent to economics. The homosexual SA leader, Ernst Röhm, on the other hand, took the "Socialist" in NSDAP seriously, and Hitler perceived him as a threat because the SA answered to Röhm more directly than Hitler, and the "true believers" like Röhm were more interested in the Party platform than the cult of personality.
To make things worse for the NSDAP Leftists, the Wehrmacht and other elements of the center-right political powers in Germany did not like the SA.
That's why the SS was nurtured, and why Röhm was killed. Period.
Hitler was an evil monster, but the rumors that he was a homosexual, a pervert, or a coward simply have no basis in fact.
I have read this before... but have seen very little about it
I think it makes sense
Why is it not more widely known or accepted?
Does anyone refute it?
Look at the primary evidence and make up your own mind:
US Army documents record Hitler’s sexuality as ‘Homosex’: http://www.policymic.com/articles/41125/was-adolf-hitler-gay-maybe-says-new-evidence-but-does-it-matter

Hitler was a male prostitute:

Isn’t homosexuality a form of self disarmament and voluntarizing people to be segregatively molested willingly all the way to concentration camps?
And sadistic perverts in the camps took whoever they wanted from the inmates, used them until they grew tired of them, killed them and selected another victim.
nto so sure that i believe this stuff... seems like a lot of flinging stuff around, but little evidence to back it up.
