Ok, this is not a troll-bait thread this is a serious thread that attempts to postulate the consequences of Hitler being a closet homosexual to the development of the gay community.
So - let us lay out the parameters.
1. What if Hitler was a closet homosexual/bi-sexual, who kept his homosexuality pretty quiet but it was *known* in his inner circle. He still dies with Eva Braun as with IOTL but it is known that he is gay.
How does this affect the homosexual community later down the track? Would they attempt to deny/disown Hitler?
How does this affect the perception of the wider community of homosexuality?
Is the world a more unfriendly place for gay people?
Do we get a more delayed progress of gay rights?
Would stupid people attempt to argue that "Hitler was gay therfore gays are hitler?"
Again, this is a serious and non-trolling attempt to start a discussion.
