    do you think NATO is an alliance for gay marriage? if it's non-negotiable, why do 13 of its members (and ukraine) not allow it? gay marriage is great but has nothing to do with NATO at all

      The Soviet Union banned it, Russia banned it, North Korea banned it, China censors lgbtq topics, and Vietnam does not allow same-sex couples certain legal protections. Communism has a much worse record.

      Edit: Ps yeah a lot of the west can and should do better though.

        your meme still sucks. what does this have to do with NATO? do you want NATO to use its military to enforce gay marriage? should it start with its own members? what about ukraine?

        i hope to see it legalized in all socialist countries (like it is in Cuba!) but do you think things happen instantly? most western countries have only legalized it in the last 5-10 years and in many countries further from the western core conservative social views can be more of a problem to overcome.

        1918 Soviet Russia was very early in decriminalizing homosexuality. Cuba has some of the most progressive stances on LGBTQ rights, particularly with the new family code. And East Germany was much more progressive than West/United Germany pre-2017 with gay rights. The most progressive states were in the 2nd world, even if it was very far from uniform.
