Most of the anti-LGBTQ+ rethoric in AES countries is cultural and has existed long before socialism, not due to socialism. Can't speak for other cultures but as a Chinese immigrant in Canada, I've never met more LGBTQ+ phobic people than anticommunist Chinese immigrants, namely older ones. That's literally their biggest complaint about Canadian culture and they compare it to the communism they "escaped" all the time. Word for word what your white boomer uncle says but with some of that toxic "if you dare disagree with your elders you're the scum of the earth" traditional Chinese mentality sprinkled in.
