Could you back that up? They straight up had state sponsored gay bars and massive anti-homophobia programs

Fir whatever reason either Lemmy as a whole or my computer cannot link back to context right now. Im presuming this was about GDR not Cuba. The reforms that created the gay bars were made in 1985. GDR's LGBT+ rights progress more or less mimicked the West apart from not actively criminally prosecuting homosexuals for homosexuality a bit earlier.
