Every communist country jailed and persecuted homosexuals. The commies hate homos almost as much as many FR posters do.
You compare apples and oranges by comparing communist totalitarian regimes with impotent and irrelevant communist political minority parties... Once in power, the communists tend to put down anything and anyone that does not carry water for the party line... However, communists will use and hijack any cause that may put them in power e.g. worker rights, "homosexual rights"...

I do not see many let alone even a few FR posters that hate "homos"... Your simply parroting some leftist propaganda in regard to this assertion...
The Soviet Union also tried to "reform" them through Pavlovian techniques.
But homosexuals are useful dialectical tools. As are feminists, race-baiters, Muslims, criminals, celebrities, and journalists. Once they've outlived their usefulness, they've outlived their value and a place awaits them in the gulag.

As do I, primarily because they allow themselves to be used this way. If theirs was just a social movement, lacking any political component, I couldn't care less. But by embracing (!) the communists, they serve as footsoldiers in a war that threatens everything this country is built on.
