LGBT+ people, and haven’t bothered to realize that the nations at the forefront of LGBT rights have never included a socialist nation until last month’s reforms in Cuba (much respect for Cuba in doing this).

The GDR had more practical rights for lgbt people than the best capitalist countries for most of its history, and Cuba was better on lgbt rights even before the family code. Marriage equality isn't the end all be all, especially in countries where marriage is less institutionalized by the government.
