1917 RSIAN REVOLUTN: THE GAY MUNY'S BRIEF WDOW OF EEDOM

I do not mean that he would have exprsed any negative opn agast gayns or transgenrism – far om – I spect he would have led the world profound and nate unrstandg!

Consirg that virtually every other lie and misreprentatn has been ed to monise the world’s first Workers’ State, is a matter of disbelief that no-one Washgton or the CIA ever thought to weaponize ‘gayns’ and e a rogatory manner agast him. It uld be that although there is ‘no lim’ to the li that n be fabrited agast the USSR – Len beg a rampagg homosexual might well be nsired an iologil ‘bridge too far’, so-to-speak. Sometime, much is ma about Len abolishg the old Czarist Law – which happened to clu an overtly ‘anti-gay law’ (mand by the Rsian Orthodox Church) – and that he never stuted a siar ‘Socialist’ Law forbiddg male and female homosexual practice.

LEN’S REVOLUTN: RED, GAY, AND ALMOST GLOR

‘‘At the same time Len stood up for eedom of liftyle, apparent om the fact that a cree signed by him Soviet Rsia was the first the world to end the crimaly of homosexualy.

However, I am reliably rmed that homosexualy was first ‘legalised’ Italy 1918 – apparently as a rult of the succs of the Rsian Revolutn! Due to the llapse of Communism 1991, and spe the bourgeois Wt ‘forcg’ the fledglg ‘palist’ Rsian State to openly ‘legalise’ male and female homosexualy 1993, the simultaneo re-emergence of the Rsian Orthodox Church to the polil arena has meant that regardls of this ‘godls’ secular law – the ‘Te Fah’ has once aga been lked to the fanatil holdg of ‘homophobic’ viewpots. The followg is an English translatn of a typil Rsian-language article that acc Len of beg ‘gay’ whilst implyg that there is somethg ‘wrong’ about this:.

The BBC Rsian Foreign Service – which is no way ‘iendly’ or even ‘fair’ when reportg matters of Soviet history – was asked to vtigate the ‘mours’ of Len beg ‘gay’. Elena Annenkova replied that after nsultg reliable Rsian historians upon this subject – the ncln was that there was ‘NO’ reliable evince that Len was ‘gay’ – end of story. But nothg follows om this, jt as nothg follows om the fact that Len was hidg om the Provisnal Government a hut Razliv wh Zoviev – and that ‘fake’ letters were eher wrten or altered to make the dialogue look as if ’s discsg homosexualy and gay uendo.
