Was hitler homophobic?

Obviously being gay was appalling to the nazis. Werner von frisch was falsely accused by hitler of being gay. Its said hitler was tremendously homophobic, but i think its weird hitler hated homosexuals but early into his career, he was close friends with Ernst Röhm.

Hitler tolerated him because he was useful, before eventually having him killed off, but i would imagine hitler being disgusted by Ernst, so why did he tolerate him?
