I wasn’t aware of queer history in East Germany. Thank you guys for enlightening me there. I am also very happy for Cuba for the strides that they have taken in relation to queer rights.
That being said, calling them “literally the most progressive country in human history in terms of queer rights” is very dumb. Most of western Europe, Canada and even parts of the US to a certain degree are as progressive as one may get in terms of queer rights, both legally and socially.
In Cuba if your family disowns you after coming out, you can sue them for child support.
In the USA, states can arbitrarily decide to suspend the benefits of joint filing for same-sex couples, to talk nothing of the blitz of transphobic state legislation.

That’s the case everywhere lol. Disowning a child does not exempt parents from paying child support. Child support only stops when the parents’ rights are terminated by the state or when someone adopts the child.
As for the transphobic legislation, you’re right. Which is why I said “parts of the US”.

Yeah, 80 years later. Compared to a country that has not existed for over 30 years lol. Google what Biden, Hillary or Obama thought of gay and trans rights in the 1990s.

Well, you said “most progressive in history”. Which is clearly not true.
I didn’t say that
