I was on a Rammstein site and they had no problem with Homos.

''This painting is an excellent example of the common theme of athletic prowess in Nazi artworks. It is particularly effective in conveying a sense of motion because of the lines of rowers acting like frames of movie film as the eye passes over them. Certainly the theme and technique of this painting are excellent, and there's certainly nothing especially overtly Nazi-oriented about the portrayal (no swastikas and so on), but given the era in which it was created, the themes of health, athletic prowess, collective action, and competition are unmistakably intended to promulgate this view of German society and what kind of world the Nazis wanted to be thought of as creating.

It is unfortunate that today so many artists and others have taken home the wrong lesson from such works. Of course the end toward which they aggitated was evil, but must we reject the idea of meaningful art promoting true virtues (such as health, success, and strength in this case) on the grounds that some artists in some eras have used their power to portray good ideals in association with evil political movements? I think not, and in fact, by abandoning the idea that art can portray good, meaningful, and true notions, such people leave the door open to some evil ideology to align itself with the virtue art still can express.

That is a very good statement! In fact, there is no need from them to be nazi or racist, as long that do not degenerate into some despicable thing or underground position socially speaking. They are white, germans playing good music... fair enough!

if you count playing with dildos on stage and playing with fire constantly as being neo-nazi/racist, then yes, they are

And he was murdered after Hitler was in power.

He was not "murdered" but executed and I believe that it was Hitler that personally performed the arrest.
He was executed not for homosexuality,which was common amongst the SA but treason.
