Tbf literally everyone before the 1970s is canceled for that.

No, not literally everyone. 10% of the population was gay back then, same as now. The institute of sexology in Germany was performing bottom surgery for trans women.

Homophobes want you to think gay acceptance is new, but it's not. There have always been people who could tell right from wrong. Stalin wasn't one of them.

The argument isn't to say its better or good. Rather, it is arguing that all likely alternatives to said politician would show the same homophobia policy. So given a frame of reference of politicians of that time, their LGBT policy doesn't make them worse than realistic alternatives.
