Regardless of what the US Supreme Court rules next year, the legalization of same-sex marriages in such states as Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Washington, Maine, and the District of Columbia will remain intact.
I've been reading several legal analysis (such as the excellent article on the front page of The Wall Street Journal) on what SCOTUS might do, and there is predominant feeling that they do not want to make broad rulings that will suddenly legalize same-sex marriage throughout the land. On the other hand, the experts and legal scholars seem to feel that DOMA was seriously flawed legislation from a constitutional point of view and it is extremely unlikely it will stand.
Historians agree that this .. is utterly false. But many anti-gay crusaders have used the "gay Nazi" myth as proof that gay people are immoral and destructive.
The myth that Nazis condoned or promoted homosexuality sprang up as a slander against Nazi leaders by their socialist opponents in the 1930s. Only one of the half-dozen leaders in Hitler's inner circle, Ernest Rohm, is believed by credible historians to have been gay.
The "gay Nazi" slander stuck, though, partly because German laws against homosexuals remained in place for a quarter of a century after World War II ended. That effectively silenced many homosexual victims of the Holocaust from telling their stories. A landmark survivor's memoir, The Men With the Pink Triangle, began to break that silence in 1972.

You are profoundly ignorant of history. Par for the course, I am sure.
You appear to be confusing the SS with the SA. Different organizations. Do you remember what happened to the SA? Hint - history remembers it as "The Night Of Long Knives". I'll even provide the link, as I pretend you might actually interested in acquainting yourself with reality: Sturmabteilung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of course, all of that is moot. Any large subset of the population -- stamp collectors, Democrats, chimney sweeps, Nazis -- will have 'many' gays amongst itself for a reason called... mathematics. You accept math, right? Or is that something you also reject because of 'liberal bias'?
Oh, I know, nyjew informed me with a IM that all gays are Nazis. Isn't she cute.
That poses quite a predicament for gay Jews now doesn't it?
