re: #126 Decatur Deb

That’s authoritarianism, whether left or right. I don’t know the date of your quote, but I’ll bet homosexual behavior carried a similar sentence throughout the United States at the time.

The quote was just for fun, it’s a joke book (though not literally), an example of the right-wing anti-Commie paranoia, but not without some facts thrown in. Male homosexuality was outlawed from 1933 and until USSR fell apart (it was made legal in different republics at different times after the collapse, in Russia in 1993).
