Guess I can't resist noting that the official position of China on "homosexuality" is that it is a manifestation of "bourgeois decadence."
Also, although I understand that, rather like the Dalai Lama, Fidel Castro has somewhat evolved his position on gays recently, in the early 1970s a number of American gay Venceremos brigade members were murdered for their sexual preferences in the sugar cane fields in Cuba. Barkley Rosser
