      Why ? Because a lesbian can’t be fascist?

      Less “can’t” and more “homophobia is generally associated with fascism”. Like how Ernst Rohm and the early SA were outliers.

        Would seem to be, and probably should be if self preservation enters the mind of the person in question, but ideologies, even those that would seem to have a pretty narrow appeal can (at least at a surface level) make themselves appealing to people of all sorts.

          A current example of this would be Alice Weidel, AfD. A lesbian in a German facist party who spends most of her time (allegedly) in Switzerland at her partners place.

            Ernst Rohm (an out gay man) was in the previous iteration right up until he was no longer useful to the state/party apparatus.

            Hell, Mussolini was originally a Communist who, I guess, decided he was tired of working on making a better world and decided to settle for immediately making a worse one because at least he’d be in charge of part of it.

        You underestimate the human potential for contradiction. Ernst Röhm entered the chat to tell you that homosexual fascists are in fact a thing, a niche thing but nonetheless a known phenomenon. There is a great documentary about gay men in the neonazi scene by Rosa von Praunheim, called “Männer, Helden, schwule Nazis” not sure if it is available in english though.
