Being fair here, the USSR would be the first country in human history to decriminalize homosexuality under Vladimir Lenin after the Bolshevik Revolution.>gift from the USSR
The Mormon is right about how gay themes do not belong in children's shows, but it has nothing to do with the USSR because homosexuality was defacto illegal since it was deemed a fascist and bourgeois perversion. The commies who promoted gay rights were all western commies who in many cases opposed the USSR.
But this didn't last long because after Lenin died, when Stalin took over he reversed this and he made homosexuality illegal in the USSR again.
Stalin believed that for Communism to become a strong force in the world then it also needed a strong family unit model. Stalin would heavily promote social conservatism where the Soviet government would heavily promote the traditional nuclear family to encourage Soviet citizens to make more communist children.
Whatever benefits homosexuals had during the rule of Lenin was stripped away by Stalin where Stalin gave Soviet gays and lesbians an ultimatum, either they get married to someone of the opposite gender and produce children for the Soviet state or they will be thrown into the gulags where they will be made useful through forced labor (being gay did not grated you a shield from Stalin's wrath).
Even after Stalin died, other communist countries would follow suit. The Cuban communist revolutionary Che Guevara was very homophobic where he believed gays have no place in a communist society (after Fidel Castro gained power in Cuba, he let Che Guevara round up many gay men in Cuba where he blew their brains out and buried them in unmarked graves). Being gay isn't illegal in China but the Chinese communist government still discriminate the LGBT community in a lot of other cruel ways.
There are exceptions to this but most communist countries historically were very anti-LGBT. You don't need far-right politics to discriminate against the LGBT community anyway.
