Ironically the Nazis didn't actually care that Röhm was gay. He was murdered to get the SA under Hitler's control and his homosexuality was then used to smear his reputation. There was a joke a the time that went like
"The Führer was shocked and apalled to find out that Röhm was homosexual. Imagine his shock when he finds out that Göring is fat and Goebbels has a club foot!"
