I'm doing a research paper on Homosexuals and Nazi's.... the negative impact of the Nazi's on homosexuals. How it was for homosexuals before hitler, during and after...

Right now, i am going with "Homosexuals are more masculine than Nazi's".... does that sound okay for a 300 level class in a University? If not, what do you recommend? I have my sources (Gad Beck and Pierre Seel's books)....

"Homosexuals are more masculine than Nazi's" is probably inadequate because masculinity is an individual trait, and even as such, it is not well defined even within a culture. To try to state that homosexuals as a group are more or less masculine than another entire group, you have to have some way of backing it up, and you'll end up with personal attacks (ad hominems) and blatant opinions without any data to back them up.

Consider the following:

"The rise of homosexual rights advocacy and Nazism were parallel and sprang from similar cultural phenomena within early 20th century Germany."

"The Nazi approach to homosexuality sprang from its leaders' documented, intense self-doubts about their own masculinity."

"The purges of homosexuals within Nazi Germany harmed the arts under the Third Reich."

Or finally,

"Social Darwinism as a reflection of Nazi philosophy is inconsistent with the Nazi practice of exterminating homosexuals."

As an component notice: even nonetheless the concentration camps have been close down, the nicely known homosexuals have been transferred from the camp to actual reformatory under Paragraph one hundred seventy five till the 1960's.
