Why ? Because a lesbian can’t be fascist?

Less "can't" and more "homophobia is generally associated with fascism". Like how Ernst Rohm and the early SA were outliers.
Röhm also liked them young.
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.
Well, she was instrumental in starting the fascist movement of Britain, which predated the Nazi party's rise to prominence. And even the Nazi Party's virulent homophobia didn't fully bloom until the Night of the Long Knives erased the SA's power.
