Was Adolf Hitler gay? According to David Irving, this is propaganda. Still, this is a subject of some debate and there are some authors who have claimed he was gay. Feel free to comment on this.

To me, he seems like a closet homosexual, sort of like Mr.Garrison

It's hard to tell for sure. For one thing, Eva Braun's diaries state that he was unwilling (0r unable?) to have sex with her. This may be because he wasn't interested. However, his persecution of homosexuals seems a bit odd if he was himself homosexual.

I don't think he was gay but more likely someone who had problems with relationships. He and some of his enterouge were always having relationships with young women barely of age while they were in their 40's.

My idea is that he had a big ego and wanted lovers who would admire him, so the younger the women (or men) the more they would admire him.

He was gay. Hitler had two girlfriends. The first woman killed herself out of frustration, while the second was Eva Braun. He never had sex with Eva Braun, as far as I know. More important is that there are reports that Hitler had a "special" relationship with his chauffeur, and with Ernst Röhm (the gay leader of the Sturm Abteilung). The fact that Hitler killed homosexuals shoudl not be used as an argument. That doesn't mean anything. In the Portuguese colonies, the worst foremen were those of mixed race, the ones that "needed" to prove something to others and to themselves. Hitler could very well be homosexual, and used the genocide of homosexuals to avoid any condemnation.

I think he was just ...IMPOTENT. ;D Of course he was trying to use E. Braun as an alibi. He was also hiding the fact he was suffering from Parkinson's.

No he wasn't.
He just had a lot of problems with relationships. I Don't think he ever had a relationship with a man, i think he had problem talking to women and so he sought out the company of socially inept men such as himself.
He fell in love with a girl called stefanie when he was 15 and used to followe her around a bit like a stalker!
i read a book about hitler from someone who met him, and there is a funny bit in there about Magda Goebbels being very friendly with him but however not wnting to get involved because simply because he was a very boring person - all he ever talked about was the Jews and fine architecture and the superiority of the nordic race. LMFAO

i think it is an insult to gay people to say that he is or that he was gay.
I doubt that he could have got very far - there was a REASON he only had 2 girlfriends and that wasn't because he had one testicle or was gay - it was because he was a boring and insane psychopath.
In this book about hitler that i read it says that he always used to eat alone because nobody wanted to talk to him! ;D

I think there´s pretty strong evidence that he was homosexual. Please follow the link on my previous post. I can´t figure why it is demeaning to homosexuals to discuss this. Homosexuality is often linked to personality disorders, which would explain a lot about Hitler. i think it is an insult to gay people to say that he is or that he was gay.

He was absolutely neither homosexual, nor bisexual. Hitler liked women and even he was clearly a sex maniac, a collectioner.
