Rohm was convinced that his SA should be the premier and only military of the German Riech. Hitler thought purging the German military was a really stupid idea. The SA were too much thugs, drunkards and the higher ups being general faggots. Rohm kept disobeying and acting like he was going to what he wanted to do. The SS was the replacement for the SA.
In general, the SA and Rohm being a reckless and destabilizing force was the biggest issue. They paraded around and became belligerent with the public and thought they were a big shit now that the NSDAP was in control. As far as the gayness, it was not that in total. It was the fags in the SA command going after younger men and maybe even boys that was the final straw.
Ernst Julius Günther Röhm was a German military officer and a leading member of the Nazi Party. Initially a close friend and early ally of Adolf Hitler, Röhm was the co-founder and leader of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing, which played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power. He served as chief of the SA from 1931 until his murder in 1934 during the Night of the Long Knives.
...In June 1931, the Münchener Post, a Social Democratic newspaper, began attacking Röhm and the SA regarding homosexuality in its ranks and then in March 1932, the paper obtained and published some private letters of his in which Röhm described himself as "same-sex oriented" (gleichgeschlechtlich). These letters had been confiscated by the Berlin police back in 1931 and subsequently passed along to the journalist Helmuth Klotz. ...Hitler was aware of Röhm's homosexuality. Their friendship shows in that Röhm remained one of the few intimates allowed to use the familiar German du (the German familiar form of "you") when conversing with Hitler. Röhm was the only Nazi leader who dared to address Hitler by his first name "Adolf" or his nickname "Adi" rather than "mein Führer". Their close association led to rumors that Hitler himself was homosexual. Unlike many in the Nazi hierarchy, Röhm never fell victim to Hitler's "arresting personality" nor did he come fully under his spell, which made him unique.
The funniest thing to me about that article is how the gay community via fagopedia don't seem to want to claim him as a gay icon like they do everyone else even slightly suspected of being gay. But they couldn't help themselves and added:

Also interesting to me that the Strasserists were never able to present themselves as the "good nazis" in the same way that the Trotskyists were able to present themselves as the "good communists." Of course Trotsky was a Jew and Soviet Jews tended to favor the Trotskyists over the Stalinists, while Stalin wasn't a big fan of the Jews either.
Meanwhile the Strasserists also weren't big fans of the Jews.
Absolutely, Trotsky's reign would have been more like Mao's had he won over Stalin. Nevermind how allowing the Trots to flee here enabled the commie capture of academia that's been rotting our society ever since, as well as giving us neocons. We should have turned them all away and let Stalin icepick them, it was one of the few good things Stalin ever did.
Disgust is a survival trait we picked up to keep us from catching horrible diseases. It turns out that people who find homos disgusting are less likely to catch fag diseases.
Guy was told to stop being such a faggot. Didn't listen. Fucked around too many times, then found out. It is what it is.
Was it a matter of Hitler telling him to stay in the closet and Rohm insisted on making his faggotry a public issue?

Zoomer explains this quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8PfTwLiYQE&pp=ygUqem9vbWVyIGhpc3RvcmlhbiBuaWdodCBvZiB0aGUgbG9uZyBrbml2ZXMg
Well, Zoomer Historian is where I'm getting 75% of my information on this issue from. He does good work.

Mensheviks are just as bad if not even a bit worse in some regards.

Also Hitler was just homophobic due to his own repressed homosexuality.
I've no idea if this is actually true or not, but it's funny, so I'm gonna believe it.
"Homophobia" was normal people's attitude until like 2013.
