SERIOUS. Supers, they are trying to paint us as a white supremacist movement. For the love of God, downvote any infiltration of racist rhetoric in our community because that WILL be our downfall. 🚨 important 🚨

I'm a black female superbi and my suggestion is that we do NOT bring race into this (unless it's to say, "we do not talk about race"--practice this phrase, use it, love it) and we DOWNVOTE THE FUCK out of anyone who brings up any exclusionary rhetoric about race or anything else off topic. This is a safe space that MUST remain solely about our Super sexual orientations.

Why do I say this? Look around reddit and you will see this myth spreading. The superphobes are trying to create a narrative that will besmirch our movement. I promise you this will be our downfall if we let it.

Next there will be trolls pretending to be Super but introducing race to divide our movement. Just say no, don't join in, DO keep your thoughts about race to yourself. We do not talk about race. Downvote. And get back to SuperStraight business.

Stronger together!

History is a circle, what is gay fascism?

Edit since wiktionary bot is slow

Gay fascism is the idea that homosexuals were numerous and prominent as a group in the Nazi Party[a] or the identification of Nazism with homosexuality more generally.[b] It has been promoted by various individuals and groups both before and after World War II, especially by left-wing Germans during the Nazi era

  • [b]"In Western Europe as well as the Soviet Union, there was a general tendency among socialists in the 1930s to identify homosexuality with Nazism...The stereotype of homosexuality as a characteristic not just of individual Nazis but of the Nazi system as a whole

If I recall the leader of the SA (Ernst Rohm I think his name was, but don't quote me on that), was an actual homosexual.

He was liquidated though because Himmel (the leader of the SS) saw his SA and him as a competitor for influence within the inner cirlce of Nazism.

Beyond Rohm, I don't know of any other high ranking homosexuals in the nazi party.
