Christian Hate Group Leader Claims “The Nazi Party Started In A Gay Bar In Munich”

Hate group spokesman Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association (AFA) falsely claimed last week that the Nazi Party was founded by gay people in a Munich gay bar.

“Let’s not forget that the Nazi Party started in a gay bar,” said radio host Bryan Fischer earlier this week on his show Focal Point. “The Nazi Party started in a gay bar in Munich, Germany.”

Bryan Fischer, whose AFA has been designated a hate group by the SPLC, is notorious for making rabidly homophobic statements, including the claim that gay men caused the Holocaust.

Fischer on Tuesday claimed that Adolf Hitler himself was an “active homosexual.”

“Without exception, the officers in Hitler’s private army were homosexuals,” Fischer said on his radio show. “You had no chance of advancing through the ranks unless you were a hardcore homosexual.”

Fischer went on to claim that Nazis only sent “effeminate” homosexuals to concentration camps.

“Now, it’s true that Hitler did send homosexuals, even killed some of them, but sent them to concentration camps,” Fischer said. “The ones that the Nazis sent to concentration camps were effeminate homosexuals. They believed in the Greek homosexual idea. The muscular, masculine, male homosexual.”

Fischer then bizarrely claimed that a lot of gays secretly dress up in Nazi gear for fun.

“In fact, in a lot of homosexual circles, they will dress up in Nazi gear as kind of reminiscent of how the entire Nazi Party got started,” he said. He did not explain how he learned about these secret gay Nazi dress-up parties, nor did he discuss where they happen.

“Bryan Fischer has been spewing the same bizarre and laughable rhetoric about LGBTQ people for far too long,” GLAAD said in a statement.

“Any listeners, especially those who may have LGBTQ children, family, or coworkers, should recognize that Fischer is someone who earns a paycheck for spouting anger about the existence of LGBTQ people and that he’s willing to say anything to get attention in a world that is growing tired of his fringe commentary about LGBTQ families.”
