You can be communists but dont be tankies. Dont try one language and one culture everywhere, also stop veing against the lgbtq.
you're talking to an instance that's 70% LGBT - would appreciate if you didn't condescend to tell us what's good for us.
Oh, buddy, you must have no idea where you are.
Remind me again which country had state sponsored gay bars?
Which country has the most LGBTQ-friendly family laws? 
(hint for the second one: it's the same country that covers transistion in its state-sponsored health care 
)
Can you point me towards further reading on these state sponsored gay bars? It sounds really cool and I'd love to know more!
I'll go looking for something that isn't just a quirky online article, but it's been a while since I read about it and it wasn't in English sadly. I know I've seen other users on here post about it (with sources) so I know there is some stuff in English.
A little bit of search found me this article https://www.jstor.org/stable/2500548 which looks to be ok, but it is written by a former spy and smuggler, so I don't feel like I can vouch for it.
I think @kristina@hexbear.net is from a former eastblock country, and she seems very knowledgeable on the area (or at least about everyday life - I've seen her write about restaurant culture and the like) so maybe she has some good sources in English. I don't know if it was her that was talking about queer zines worrying about the fall of the GDR.
There's also this thread from two years ago
Thanks, much appreciated!
Nobody here supports "one language and one culture everywhere" and this site has so many lgbt people, like I think all or at least the strong majority of the mods and admins, and I estimate at least a third or more of the regular users are some flavor of lgbt.
Pretty sure I'm the only cishet mod and it's just tokenism

No. Everyone will speak Esperanto or I will die trying.
