    Hmm, I seem to remember that it was BRD and not the DDR that decided that Gay and Trans people in Nazi concentration camps had to stay there. And it was the DDR that created state ran gay bars. But no, we will continue to only compare the homophobia and transphobia of 1950’s second world nations with post-2013/2017 reductions in homophobia and transphobia first world nations. It’s not like Cuba is one of the most progressive nations in the world on LGBTQ rights post Family Code changes.

      I’ve heard a lot of conflicting stuff about Cuba. I’ve heard it’s a good place to live in but a one-party system is kinda sus.

      The USSR was dogshit though.

      It is almost like Left and Right have different beliefs about LGBTQ people. Even if there is progress over time on both sides.
