The people before us weren't perfect. Their mistakes are blueprints to learn from and build a better world
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. That's literally their biggest complaint about Canadian culture and they compare it to communism all the time. They act like white boomers but somehow even worse.
