Was he a closet homosexual?

Also, what is the correlation between fascism and homosexuality?

Fascism, weirdly, a sort of progressive movement in its quest to modernize societal hierarchies. This means that fascist movements typically attract people who believe current hierarchies are unnecessary or wrongheaded. Hence the thousands of gay guys and legitimate socialists who joined the Nazi Party because their main cause was building up the German nation and getting rid of the Jews.

Fascist aesthetics, which inevitable celebrate strength and domination and masculinity, are pretty also homoerotic. But this might just be because so many fascists have been homosexual.

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.

My bad, I read like 30 pages of it in an online PDF then bailed. It was like a year ago so I guess I forgot along the way that I was reading an intro, not a paper.
It was probably was linked in a Deleuze thread or something. Anyways, the rest of my post is essentially curiosity regarding specifically where the link is between fascism and gays.

He's deeply flawed, like many of his post he greatly overemphasizes the influence of westerners on foreigners, he would literally make the claim Confucius was influenced by Nietzsche if he could.

Are you thinking with regards to the Cold War? Because he's not wrong regarding the far reach of American cultural imperialism.

Unless you were thinking of this specific case with Mishima, in which case he definitely is not wrong as Mishima was absolutely a very westernized thinker.

He lived in a time and society where people didn't really talk much about their sexuality, so I guess he was as closeted as a man whose debut novel was about their earliest homosexual fantasies and experiences can be.
