I've taken the liberty of looking up the definition of the word fascism for you.
Fascism can be on the left too.
Only if one stretches the word "fascism" to include Marxism-Leninism. At that one could extend "the Left" to include all forms of totalitarianism, including Ba'athism, the Taliban, and ISIS. Then one has anarchism on the Far Right.
Fascists sell out the worker from the moment that fascists discover that employers and big landowners have more money to offer from breaking unions and stopping agrarian reform than in mitigating the inequity of a depraved capitalist order. Although Marxism-Leninism invariably fails workers by taking away the free market, Marxism-Leninism invariably flatters workers as those destined to get the fruits of their toil. Fascism sells out the working class before it even achieves power.
People get outed when they make statements hostile to homosexuality despite participating in homosexual activity including the solicitation of homosexuality. Such behavior is a very bad sign -- hypocrisy. People don't get outed as homosexuals if they are gay but either endorse homosexuality through overt statements or show tolerance of homosexuality through silence. Mainstream news media have the decency to keep the innocuous private. Thus the mainstream media kept the homosexuality of film star Rock Hudson and of TV star Robert Reed (Mr. Brady of
The Brady Bunch) hidden until the tabloids leaked it.
There's nothing wrong with homosexuals portraying straight people any more than there is with good people portraying evil people. It is far easier to play the diametric opposite of one's personality on stage than to portray simply a little off one's character. Can one be a pacifist and portray a saber-rattling general on stage? Can one be a decent person and portray villainous gangsters as did Edward G. Robinson? Of course! Can one be a homosexual and play a 'straight' part? Of course!
One must admit -- someone did some remarkable casting for
The Brady Bunch. The story lines were about gender and not about sex. With the children, sex was irrelevant. With the adults... now you understand why the producers could keep sex out of the story lines. But I have digressed more than I need to.
The news media long kept the story of the child of Strom Thurmond by a black woman well hidden for decades -- not so much to protect a Senator but instead to protect a person who had done nothing wrong, namely his black child. Sowing one's wild oats by having sex with a black woman, whether a prostitute, a floozie, or vulnerable 'help' was long commonplace behavior by white men in the South. At the least Strom Thurmond secretly funded his daughter's college education that allowed her a fairly-good life that included getting away from South Carolina. How many other black people who had done nothing wrongly being born with the seed of some white man who had exploited a black woman?
If one is a prominent opponent of gay rights yet has trysts with gay men -- then one could be doing great harm. This is almost in the same league as outing a Nazi with a Jewish grandfather. It's the same if one exposes a Communist who makes a plush living off a loan-shark operation.
So don't do hypocrisy. OK, adults can be sexual and expect their children to refrain from sex -- but that is the normal distinction between adults and children.
