Common card · No. 286196

In the 19th and 20th century, Communist parties and Marxist–Leninist states varied on LGBTQ rights; some Western and Eastern parties were among the first political parties to support LGBTQ rights, while others, especially the post-Lenin era Soviet Union, some of its Eastern Bloc members, and the Marxist–Leninist East Asian countries, harshly persecuted people of the LGBTQ community (especially gay men).
