I do think it's hilarious why the GDR allegedly legalized homosexuality and began funding gay culture. Supposedly the Stasi sat down and was like "Wow it's a huge security problem that all these homosexuals are subject to criminal proceedings. All the capitalists would have to do is find out someone was gay and then blackmail them to be a spy. What can we do about it?"

And someone's like "What if we legalize homosexuality, fund gay cultural venues, build a bunch of discoes, and sort of just accept and support the whole thing?"

"Brilliant!"
