    They call them “Pickmes”, but personally I prefer the term “Ernst Rohms”, it puts into historical context how this kind of thing tends to go…

    For those who don’t know - Ernst Rohm was a gay Nazi who was considered to be one of Hitler’s closest friends. He believed he would be spared even as the Nazis were gathering up homosexuals and burning research centers, because Hitler was his homie ya see.

    To make a long story short he was gassed to death in a concentration camp…

      Minor correction: Rohm was visited by two high ranking nazi’s “encouraging” him to commit suicide in his cell, but he refused and was shot by them.
