Could both these statements not be true? The 1937 Family Law did criminalize homosexuality and label it a bourgeois decadence.
But that doesn’t mean the west was any better if not oftentimes worse.
when liberals say the communist oppressed lgbtq people thing they mean it as a criticism of communism in comparison to capitalism, as in "the ussr under stalin had bad lgbtq legislation therefore capitalism is a better system" this is a rejection of that criticism because how could this possibly indicate that capitalism is better when the failure of communist in this particular case is that they werent better capitalist like they were supposed to be.
