What always confuses me is when I see a queer tankie or conservative, it's like why are you shooting yourself in the foot
While historically, and contemporaneously, communist countries have been harsh on homosexuality, surely next time the gays will be safe!
After the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, homosexuality (as well as abortion) was decriminalized.
It was only after Stalin's counter-revolution that gay sex (and abortion) were made illegal. People spoke out against it, including queers and feminists in the Comintern. Again, wtf are queer (or feminist) tankies thinking?
