To my understanding the period from 1992 to now has seen an advance in LGBT rights and social acceptance of LGBT people across industrialised nations. There are notable exceptions, but in broad terms things are better now than back then. This means that Russia is falling behind by stagnating.
Current Russian nationalism and homophobia is certainly a continuation of that of the Soviet Union. A future socialist state needs to be less culturally regressive. The revolution should not just be an economic one but also a social.
Depends on where really. Things were kinda improving after the fall of the regimes, but in recent years have taken a turn for the worse. I would argue in the last couple of years the situation may have reversed to a point where things are much worse than before, because these issues have become a lot more visibile and discussed, and there has been a much stronger reaction.

My point exactly.
