Queer Fascism and the End of Gay History

Some gays are right-wing extremists and they do not necessarily share the political goals of left-leaning queers. They see their broader, right-wing politics as compatible with their queerness. A queer far-right, anti-liberal, racist movement dates back to the nineteenth century. It is as old as other branches of what Germans called the "homosexual emancipation movement." A long-forgotten essay called "National Socialism and Inversion" allows a close look at queer fascism. The essay is part of a public exchange that a man in Ernst Röhm's circle had with the most famous of Germany's homosexual emancipation groups, the center-left Scientific Humanitarian Committee (SHC).
