    Che on the other hand was a homophobic bigot who attempted to eliminate the queer people from Cuba

    Liar. You are spewing propaganda. You could read AskHistorians for that.

    You are quite reactionary. Seek groups and listen, you need to be participating in collectives to grow as a person.

      Not sure if huffpost is a site you would consider trustworthy, but anytime you search for Che and the gay community, its quite consistent with the fact he rounded up the gay and other queer people and had them tortured, raped, and killed.

      Look I don’t doubt your commitment to allying with the queer community, but throughout the history of communism, the queer community has also been persecuted by the likes of the Soviet Union, Cuba, hell even China today. Forgive me if my biggest hang up with the communist label are the regimes and people it’s associated with, what they did to people like us.

      Do you have anything against these reports though? I can give them a read.

        For questions like that pretty much no newspaper is trustworthy.

        However you made a claim that is a known propaganda lie, I gave you sources, yet you do not say: “I was wrong, I will delete that sentence from my post and make a disclaimer to it!”, no you try to defend your lie.

        You say “while it wasn’t specifically true, you could imagine that over 70 years in some countries of 1.2 billion it might’ve be true somewhere!”

        Again, family of mine was prosecuted in the liberal western FRG for homosexuality and sent to prison. 30 years earlier they would’ve ended up in death camps.
