    Fir whatever reason either Lemmy as a whole or my computer cannot link back to context right now. Im presuming this was about GDR not Cuba. The reforms that created the gay bars were made in 1985. GDR’s LGBT+ rights progress more or less mimicked the West apart from not actively criminally prosecuting homosexuals for homosexuality a bit earlier.

    Yeah Im bisexual and it blows my mind to see the LGBT+ folks on hexbear. It’s as if they have no grasp on history, have no understanding of what a nation trying to have a unitary identity frequently means for LGBT+ people, and haven’t bothered to realize that the nations at the forefront of LGBT rights have never included a socialist nation until last month’s reforms in Cuba (much respect for Cuba in doing this).

    Some are well read and others maintain nonsense because they don’t know what anything means. Many seem to not have any understanding of how things work IRL. Fir example someone claimed China was a democracy and did not understand that the central party’s ability to determine who could oppose them meant that they are in fact not a functioning democracy.
