Gay in the gulag
libcom.org
Historical information about the repression of gay men in the Soviet Union in the wake of the government's re-criminalisation of homosexuality in 1933, after its decriminalisation in 1922. Trigger warning for sexual violence.

I tried to find a Pravda referencing this view on homosexuality being the root of fascism but I couldn't find it, and it really makes zero sense for this to be ever said by a communist party

    I think it was proles of the round table, where I had heard it posited that the anti-gay stuff may have been a form of infighting between upper members of the party; I can't attack you directly, but I know you have a gay son. Sort of thing.
