Of course a trotskyite website would fucking lie about this issue.
Reality check, in 1922, the Communist Revolutionaries abolished the book of TSARIST LAWS as the law of the land and started rewriting laws for the proletarian state from the ground up.
This does not mean homosexuality was legalized in the RSFR, it means the laws that declared homosexuality illegal, along with all other tsarist laws were abolished as they were bougeoise laws.
THIS IS NOT defending the legal decision reached by the Presidium of the USSR that Stalin was the General Secretary of in 1934.
This is pointing out the historical reality of the fact that Trotskyite wreckers lie about everything to make themselves look good.
In the Communist Party itself during this period of the 1920s, such divergences of opinion and policy on Soviet treatment of homosexuality was also common, ranging from positive, to negative, to ambivalent over views about homosexuals and homosexual rights. Some sections and factions of the Bolshevik government attempted to improve rights and social conditions for homosexuals based on further legal reforms in 1922 and 1923 while others opposed such moves. In the early 1920s, Commissar of Health Nikolai Semashko for example was sympathetic to homosexual emancipation "as part of the [sexual] revolution" and attempted such reforms for homosexual rights in the area of civil and medical areas. According to Wayne R. Dynes, some sections of the Bolsheviks of the 1920s actively considered homosexuality a "[social] illness to be cured" or an example of "bourgeois degeneracy" while other Bolsheviks believed it should be legally/socially tolerated and legally/socially respected in the new socialist society.
The Bolsheviks also rescinded Tzarist legal bans on homosexual civil and political rights, especially in the area of state employment. In 1918, Georgy Chicherin, an openly homosexual man, was appointed as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR. In 1923, Chicherin was also appointed People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR, a position he held until 1930.
Women’s rights were very advanced after the revolution until Stalin.
Ah yes, "Everything I disagree with is antisemetic"
National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

Abolishing laws that make something illegal means that thing is no longer illegal
you know you're reading an anti-Stalin thread when the anti-semetic screeching starts
Ah yes, "Everything I disagree with is antisemetic"
