Wow. Great article, Ag. This really puts into perspective the attempts at circumventing the democratic process and forcing unwelcome social change onto the populace at large by American gays...

Capital troll, Drake.

"This new book claims that Hitler was gay? I always thought this was a sign. (does the heil salute, then flops the wrist.) And the leather, the marching..."

Self-loathing about their sexuality directed towards society.

Troll aside, it is possible that it could be a reaction against society for its loathing of their sexuality.

On a completely unrelated note, every time I quote someone there is a space automatically generated between the [size] and the text. Not so in Mr. Avenue's case. More proof that he is a mutant.

fascism is gay

I'm with Sava and Dissident. A movement idolizing young muscular soliders attracting gays seems pretty logical.

I just saw this article linked on A&L and I thought it was fascinating. I had no idea that so many prominent fascists were gay, and I am astonished that any gay people would have anything to do with fascism, given the intense homophobia of the radical right. Despite what Hari says, I'm still confused about the whole phenomenon.

Anyway, interested parties please read on:

How so. I'm not disputing that there are gay fascists or gay fundies. I'm just wondering how it's possible for someone to reconcile them without suffering from some sort of mental illness.

You of all people should be aware of ones philosophy as a reflection of ones psychological state...

Fascism isn't merely nazism as in 1933-45. I believe fascism is that which occurs when nationalists get power, and some peoples nations and enemies differ from others. You could be a Jewish fascist who hates Palestinians or a gay fascist that hates Jews.
