Fascist regimes historically perceive the LGBTQ+ community as an existential threat to their rigid, hyper-masculine vision of the nation. In Nazi Germany, the state systematically targeted homosexual men through the expansion of Paragraph 175, viewing their existence as a biological contagion that weakened the “Aryan” race.
Thousands were sent to concentration camps, marked by pink triangles, and subjected to horrific abuses. This antagonism is not incidental; it is central to fascist ideology, which enforces traditional gender roles and nuclear family structures to ensure control and demographic dominance. By framing LGBTQ+ individuals as subverters of national strength and morality, these regimes justify exclusion, state-sponsored violence, and erasure.
Ultimately, this historical persecution serves as a stark reminder that authoritarianism necessitates the suppression of diverse identities to maintain a singular, monolithic exercise of power. The Queer God Squad wonders how this Fascist ideology compares to the current US Administration’s rhetoric about and policies against LGBTQ+ people today.
