It’s pretty foolish for a lesbian to support the fascism of that era, yes. The UK fascism post-wwi was in support of the rise of the Nazi party, which was pretty happy to kill homosexuals.

Less “can’t” and more “homophobia is generally associated with fascism”. Like how Ernst Rohm and the early SA were outliers.
