@foxwayne people get murdered by these governments. people here in the USA act like the chance they'll lose gay rights is the worst thing but guess what? in the place I was born there were no gay rights to lose. my grandmother lived in a "communist" (I know the USSR wasn't really communist but neither is the dprk) country and has told me all about what it was like in a gulag that she was sent to basically for being Jewish. people there barely have electricity and don't have heat in the winter
