Fun fact, going by the K-D mark, this was from the Constitutional Democratic Party, who were the liberals. If this was actually from 1917, I’d assume it was rallying against one of the socialist parties (or socialist parties in general). Between the October revolution of 1917 and Stalin seizing power, there was a massive expansion of LGBTQ+ rights, to the point that we’re still fighting for many of those rights today.
Well, the “This is the future liberals want” meme is talking about social liberalism more generally, but yes, the Sovs expanded LGBT rights despite some internal dissent until Stalin took over. The SovUnion was superior to the Weimar Republic (for all of its faults, still the focal point of LGBT activism in Europe) in terms of LGBT rights at the time.
