— If there would be something like an increasing economic crisis, homosexuals would be the best victims, for several reasons that were also true about the Jews in the 1930s. One of these is the mythical economic power of homosexuals. People in the streets think homosexuals are rich people, which is not true, but they are living in such a way or they are spending their money in such a way, that this appears to be true and is held against them.
