    I don’t understand the consternation with accepting Che was homophobic.

    He was a product of his times.

    Is it really that shocking that a man in the 1950s has homophobic views?

    You linked a source saying this; he called a gay man a pervert.

    Why die on this hill?

      Like honestly, how many dudes born in the 1920’s had any sort of positive view on homosexuality? Crazy how hero worship whitewashes people who weren’t heros.

      Is that the problem you see here?

      Really?

      A shitlib waddles into a leftist space, does what every shitlib does whenever Che’s name gets mentioned and craps out the standard shitlib disinformational propaganda about him they always do, and that’s the problem you see here?

      I hate to be the one to break it to you… but LQBTQ people get to be perverts too - just like the rest of us.

        Oh yeah, he was probably being sex-positive when he called homosexuality perversion /s
