Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

"Unshakeably principled as a communist and anti-imperialist", nowhere was it mentioned he was a perfect human, especially on social issues. What is your point exactly? No-one on this instance is saying that Stalin was jesus, and even Jesus was a homophobe

Considering it's Easter, I'm just going to jump in and say Jesus didn't say anything homophobic. You're thinking of Paul in Letters to the Romans, and even then it's disputed.

Fair enough. There's no account of Jesus being homophobic in the Gospels, but the Church, excluding a minority of LGBTQ+ affirming denominations, is very much a homophobic institution. I've heard Christians justify or condemn practically every act known to man using Jesus' words, so depending on who you listen to, he very well might have been a homophobe.

That's fair and undeniably true!
