I'm fine with that, I'm just pointing out how politically-active queer folks tend to put these people on a pedestal, when in reality they would have beaten them with bottles if they ever had contact with them, all the while shaming righties for having people such as Pinochet in their ranks.This isn't uniquely true of commies, this is just about everyone born too early to be bullied into acceptance over Twitter. Personally, I've just accepted that queerphobia is a cultural thing and anyone in history, even people I like, should usually be expected to be bigoted in some way. I'm not gonna stop reading a book because I find out that the author was a bigot if it was at a time where their bigotry was the norm. If they're progressive, great, but I can't fault them for believing what they're taught.
