Communism and LGBTQ rights

Communist attitudes towards LGBTQ rights have evolved radically in the 21st century. 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).
