Ironic for any pro-gay characters to romanticize the USSR, which save for a brief period from 1926-33, criminalized male homosexuality. (In their criminal code, they called the offense “man lying with man” [muzhelozhstvo], and if that sounds surprisingly biblical, that’s because it is: the language of Leviticus 20:13, although the Soviets envisioned five years imprisonment for the offense rather than the death penalty.)

That’s not the only Biblical language the Bolsheviks appropriated. Article 12 of the USSR’s 1936 constitution has a twisted version of 2 Thessalonians 3:10 in it.

wow, I didn’t know that, but I would most certainly bet that Communists never like people whining to them, not would they like it when someone claims an inordinate amount of support for diseases which they, by their own behavior, contracted.
