Extremely disappointing to see this, this is not a Sankara thing to do at all.

Fuck's sake. Why is the venn diagram of "not an imperialist puppet" and "okay with queer people" just two almost entirely separate circles with maybe a sliver labeled "Cuba" between them?

    Filipino Maoists.

    Nepal is good on LGBTQ rights relatively, though the communist movement is kinda split, though their first gay politician did recently defect TO CPN (Unified Marxist Leninist)

    Nepal's communist/maoist parties — at least the ones with power — are in name only. You can't call parties that have unbelievable amounts of corruption and nepotism rampant in them communist — you could supply these people with enough money and they'll forget communist ideals entirely. Not to mention that their leaders have a handful of controversies at any given time. However, the country does have LGBTQ rights in the constitution itself; but queer people can't freely express themselves due to the backwardness of society.

    could we get some examples of imperialist puppets which are okay with queer people, cant really think of any, ig the problem moreso is that many countries generally are not ok with queer people

    Depends what you mean by "ok with" and who counts as accepted queer groups but it's not typically punishable by prison in quite a lot of countries these days, even many imperialist puppets. Like idk northern Europe or whatever.

    I think Illstealya isn't totally a puppet, obviously beholden to the much larger anglo + NATO economies but compared to a South Korea or South Vietnam they've got orders more latitude. Mostly due to intrinsic racism and persistent feelings in the anglosphere.

    Those issues are pretty funny though, like even the gay Aussie I knew long enough had a story about fuckin with and subsequently "getting chased by" a "buncha "
