    Can you give me a source to read on Cuba’s family code and what makes it the most progressive family code in the world?

    Gay bars are a reallyy low bar for progressiveness.

      It wasn’t just gay bars. There was a specific effort by the government of the DDR to combat homophobia. Also, trans surgeries and hormones were fully funded by the state. You can read more about it here.

      Here are some sources on Cuba for your perusal:

          Yeah, in queer liberation zines back in the late 80s and early 90s, there were a fair amount of trans East Germans who were worried about the unification of Germany and what it would mean for their transition. I don’t have the sources on hand, but they were quite sobering. sadness

      I can name the majority of capitalist countries that are homophobic, far outnumbering any communist ones
