Notorious Holocaust revisionist and anti-gay Christian pastor Scott Lively is planning to release a new edition of his book The Pink Swastika in which he claims that the Nazi Party was at its core a homosexual organization and that the number of gay men it persecuted has been vastly overestimated.

The book was first published in 1995 and Lively now says he is working on a 5th edition of it in which he claims to show more evidence that the Nazis were gay despite mainstream historians rejecting its premise.

In a column for far-right news website WND published earlier today Lively made the absurd claim that his publishing of The Pink Swastika was the direct cause of the international LGBTI community dropping the pink triangle symbol the Nazis used to mark homosexual concentration camp prisoners out with in favor of the rainbow pride flag.

Lively’s book came out in 1995 but the rainbow pride flag has been in use by the LGBTI community since its creation by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978.

‘Some homosexual political factions in existence in the early ’90s still use the pink triangle on a limited basis, but publication of “The Pink Swastika” succeeded in stopping that movement-wide campaign, indirectly forcing the “gays” to abandon the pink triangle as the primary symbol of their movement,’ Lively wrote in an article in which he declared ‘pink is the new Nazi brown.’

‘They switched to the rainbow. They didn’t dare to continue using the pink triangle because it would have drawn attention to the damning truth we had published in “The Pink Swastika.”’

‘Some effeminate homosexual men aligned with the German Communist Party were, in fact, persecuted by the masculine/macho homosexual men of the fascist Nazi Party, but it was a relatively small number and they were never targeted for extermination like the Jews. The far bigger story is the widespread homosexuality among the perpetrators.

‘The cover-up of the homosexual roots of Nazism is one of, if not the greatest, feats of historical revisionism the world has ever seen. The sheer volume of documentation that has been suppressed to protect the homosexual movement from its own past is staggering,’ Lively claimed.

In 2009 Lively traveled to Uganda to urge the country to pass stricter laws against homosexuality and claimed that homosexuals were to blame for the Rwandan Genocide and he has also been active in speaking to anti-gay hate groups in Eastern Europe.

Ugandan lawmakers responded with a bill that would have seen gay men executed by the state – though this was later reduced to life imprisonment in the face of international outcry.
