The analogy comes from another post (which I can’t find at the moment) about a bartender running off a guy wearing nazi paraphernalia. When questioned by a patron the bartender explains that you can’t let them in because if you allow a Nazi in your bar once, the next time he brings a few friends. Then they become regulars and get louder and the next thing you know they have run off decent customers and you now have a Nazi bar.
Who knows if the story is true but it is meant to illustrate how fascist culture is like a cancer that takes over and displaces everything if allowed a foothold. It cannot be tolerated.
So hopefully you can see how it is not similar to having gay patrons in a bar. No one reaonably expects that a few gay patrons are going to start acting aggressively and trying to make others feel threatened or uncomfortable. But that is bread and butter for Nazis.
If you allow Nazis at your bar it’s a Nazi bar
I agree with your sentiment, but not your analogy.
If you allow gays at your bar is it a gay bar?

I was more referencing this than trying to make a standalone analogy; my bad for just assuming people had seen it before.
Ah OK. With this context it makes much more sense.
