"Sure. It’s been hopeless for a long time, from the very beginning. You will never represent, Raphael, a young girl’s erotic dream. You have to resign yourself to the inevitable; such things are not for you. It’s already too late, in any case. The sexual failure you’ve known since your adolescence, Raphael, the frustration that has followed you since the age of thirteen, will leave their indelible mark. Even supposing that you might have women in the future - which in all frankness I doubt - this will not be enough; nothing will ever be enough. You will always be an orphan to those adolescent loves you never knew. In you the wound is already deep; it will get deeper and deeper. An atrocious, unremitting bitterness will end up gripping your heart. For you there will be neither redemption nor deliverance. That’s how it is."

First and only thing to make me cry since my dog died.

Yeah, I'm honestly pretty interested in this as well.
I read a paper- I think it was Deleuze? It was called Male Fantasies, and was primarily focused on the Freikorps in the interwar period. And the author basically right off the bat starts talking about homosexual undertones in the Freikorps- claiming they hated all women, wanted to hurt women, were only attracted to fellow men
It was a bit strange for me, because there's really not a lot of info on the Freikorps on the surface of the web, but none of it talks about them being militias made up of gays. I don't know where the author came up with it.
But one of his aim arguments was essentially that the Freikorps, and its homosexual undertones, led to fascism.

As far as I can tell, they were just a bunch of dudes who were fucked up by the war and probably had a predisposition to be warriors in the first place. Hanging out with your war bros a lot is not exactly a convincing argument of homosexuality.
