Communist stance on homosexuality

[Danielle Ni Dhighe]

So what is the communist/socialist stance?

In the 21st century, it should be support for full equality for LGBT people and opposition to all manifestations of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.

Funny to see all the MLs advocating equality when their beloved Stalin persecuted gays, as did other ML regimes like Cuba.

I think the first to support homosexuality were the anarchists, because our movement is libertarian.

If people were to change skin colour partway through life as the result of contracting a disease, would we say they don't deserve defence from racism? Obviously not.

That's what I always say, that it being natural or unnatural is irrelevant anyway. Most evidence nowadays seems to point towards sexuality being a genetic thing though from what I've seen, even though that might not be the best comparison. In that case, let's compare it to coloured contact lenses...

They asked Trotsky once what the soviet laws concerning incest are.

He said he never thought about it and there shouldn't be any laws as it isn't the states business.

He said if incest was banned and persecuted then humanity would really miss out, citing Lord Byron as an example.

Homosexuality is not incest also Trotsky has been dead a long time

I heard anarchists like goldman was homophobic too, it was the good old days, where everyone was a homophobe including capitalists. Cuba apologized for their actions against gays, and now LGTBQ friendly,

I read this quote somewhere from this LGTB group from the 60's "Cuba proscute while America beat them to it" - meaning yeah Cuba proscuted us but America beat the living shit out of us.

Anarchist shouldn't even associate with homosexuals: "If you are an anarchist, that means that you are more morally upright and physically strong than the average man. This from an article about homophobia in Anarchist spain.

Also, Just because certain individuals was homophobic in a certain tendecy, anarchist or leninism, or marxist leninism, don't mean they are homophobic as a whole and saying so is just opportunistic sectarianism. Don't use the gay question from sectarian bs. Its something that we have in all tendencies, it can't be help.

Those loyal to the Socialist cause should be allowed to do whatever they please.

To often, however, this question has been brought up for rhetoric purposes.

We are the Left, and we promote Liberty for all! Enough said...
