If I had to guess, in their minds, because Communists 100 years ago, weren’t exactly “progressive” on LGBTQIA+ issues by contemporary standards (despite being well ahead of their bourgeois contemporaries), communists today must be exactly the same way. To them, Communism is this inflexible and unchanging dogma and not the flexible and evolving political movement of the international proletariat against the bourgeoisie.
This is one of the things that makes me nuts about libs. Like yeah the communists were bad on queer people, but did you see what capitalists were doing to us???
