          In the new Penal Code of the Romanian People's Republic, the old Article 431 was toughened with penalties up to a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 5 years.[59] In 1957 the "public scandal" provision was repealed and any consenting sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex is criminalized.

          In 1961, same-sex sexual intercourse was criminalized in the Mongolian People's Republic.

          The Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia and People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia adopted the previous Penal Code of 1957 of the Ethiopian Empire, which criminalizes anyone who "performs with another person of the same sex an act corresponding to the sexual act, or any other indecent act, is punishable with simple imprisonment."

          The Hoxhaist regime in Albania penalized same-sex sexual intercourse with long prison terms, bullying and ostracism.

          Same-sex sexual intercourse was always legal during the existence of the Republic of Poland and the Polish People's Republic. However, the government used homosexuality to blackmail homosexuals and the police harassed gay men and lesbians. Many homosexual men were arrested in 1985 in Operation Hyacinth.

          Under Article 409 of the Somali Penal Code introduced in 1973, sexual intercourse with a person of the same sex is punishable by imprisonment from three months to three years in the Somali Democratic Republic. An "act of lust" other than sexual intercourse is punishable by a prison term of two months to two years. Under Article 410 of the Somali Penal Code, an additional security measure may accompany sentences for homosexual acts, usually coming in the form of police surveillance to prevent "re-offending".

          LGBT rights have always been contested in socialist circles. Don't ignore something just because it doesn't fucking affect you.

              I was literally referring to socialist countries in general.

              Male same-sex anal intercourse remained illegal in the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Socialist Republic of Macedonia and the Socialist Republic of Serbia

                Since we're talking about random countries that do not exist anymore, did you know that while Turing was killing himself because of the chemical castration imposed of him by the Queen of England, in the German Democratic Republic you could get gender reassignment for free?

                    On paper, it was Regina vs Alan Turing. The queen, as the plantiff, could have stopped the lawsuit being done in her name any time.

                  Oh wow, thats crazy, It's almost like I was pointing out that a large amount of socialist countries were historically fucking disgusting places to live in for people like me, but keep pushing the conversation away from that. Sure

                  Its not like phobia has been a major problem in the left for years, not at all. Just quietly pad your ears and wait for the gays to forget about it.

                    A large amount of countries were historically fucking disgusting places to live in for people like us. Why are you implying that it's somehow a feature of Marxist-Leninist states?

                    I asked you for a source on that you could go to prison for your sexuality in the DPRK today. You won't find one, because it's not true.
