Every leftist I've met IRL has been very good toward LGBT rights and addressing structural racism. These stupidpol types you only see online because in most real movements they are shunned and recognized as the selfish hypocrites they are. EDIT: I'm reading from some other people in this thread and I might have a regional bias. It depends on where you are, sadly it appears in some countries there are communist parties which support homophobic policies and those parties are the most popular leftist movements. YMMV
