I don’t recall the Pink Swastika saying that the ‘fems’ were Communist. My memory is more that the book said that butch homosexuality was common among the SA Brownshirts. And that Hitler had them killed off during the night of the long knives to keep the homosexual influence in the Nazi party hidden from the public eye as he rose in power.

Lively and Abrams further said that a good portion of the famous Nazi book burning consisted of records from German clinics that treated criminal sexual deviates- records that included a sizable number of prominent Nazi party members.

I find their argument persuasive because it parallels uncontested facts regarding the Nazis, but I wouldn’t claim that it’s absolutely true at this point.

TPS is on at least its 4th internet edition. "Fems" = commies is in there. Like I said, it does seem strange that there would exist such a political divide among the spectrum of homosexuals.

Agreed.

Not all of the homosexual brownshirts were murdered during the Night of the Long Knives - just the higher ranking ones in the SA who posed a political threat to Hitler. Only ~200+ people were murdered during the NotLK.

Agreed

They have certainly encountered tremendous blowback from the LGBTs and their allies. Supposedly some death camp survivors disagree with their allegation that the "butches" were responsible for much of the terror, i.e., physical beatings and rapes, in the camps.
