They where all purged. Ernst Röhm, nor any of the Brown Shirts for that matter where openly homosexual.
I seriously doubt that. There were probably still Nazis who were secretly homosexual when the war ended.
When they "purged" Röhm that was simply because they saw him as a threat because he commanded the SA which had grown into a serious power factor in the Reich. His homosexuality was utilized as a pretence against him to destroy his reputation afterwards but it was not the reason they took him out.
I never used the word open ....
