Hitler included homosexuals in the Jewish genocide because he was antisemitic and racist. As a good Roman Catholic he fully embraced the antisemitic teachings of both the Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches, especially when he found "scientific" proof to justify it.

∙ 11y agoBecause he probably had gay feelings and couldn't accept them in himself. They couldn't carry out his vision for a "super race," and neither could he contribute to it for that matter. Plus he probably feared extortion. We've heard of many who spoke out against homosexuality and were later exposed as gay by former gay lovers. So some historians conjecture that Hitler was living a double life and killed some of those with whom he may have had sexual relations.

∙ 7y agoThe Nazi policy against the homosexuals was part of normal politics. Even now some countries homosexuality is still illegal, the US is still unsure whether it will continue to discriminate against homosexuals or not (refering specifically to the military here).
The system in Nazi Germany was that criminals were sent to concentration camps, but homosexuals were not treated anything close to as badly as the victims of the Holocaust.
The Nazis could have sent homosexuals to the gas chambers like they did to the victims of the Holocaust, but they chose not to.
