AT least through the late '80s many/most US communist (& also socialist?) groups' position was that being gay was a bourgeois affectation and would not be necessary after the revolution. I couldn't tell you the purported logic behind that, but really, SO MUCH anti-trans is just recycled anti-gay.

The epitaph of all post-referendum politics.
