Atheist Persecution of Sodomites

Western atheists will often say that Christians are "homophobic" and trying to oppress sodomites and roll back the supposed "rights" of sodomites. These same atheists seem to hypocritically and conveniently turn a blind eye to the persecution of sodomites by atheists throughout history and in the 21st century.

The atheist Soviet Union (under Joseph Stalin) outlawed homosexuality in 1934. Sodomites could face prison and hard labour if they were convicted of homosexuality. (1).

In atheist run Cuba, sodomites were heavily persecuted under the Castro regime. Cuba's government adopted the Stalinist view that homosexuality is a form of bourgeois decadence. Sodomites were sent to labour camps. Atheist Marxist-Leninist Che Guevara was strongly anti-sodomite and supported the re-education camps that Castro set up.

In China, homosexuality was deemed a sexual crime by the atheist Chinese Communist Party in 1949, homosexuality was also deemed an abnormal mental illness. Under the cultural revolution in China, sodomites faced labour under surveillance and years in prison. Although homosexuality was legalized in China in 1997, same-sex "marriage" is illegal. In 2018, atheist leaders in China pressured Weibo (China's version of Twitter) to ban homosexuality orientated content (1). Throughout 2019, the atheist Chinese government cracked down on sodomite activities by shutting down sodomite forums, curbing news coverage of sodomite issues, censoring online search results on sodomites, and preventing sodomite charities from registering (2) (3) (4).

All that to say this, the blatant hypocrisy of western atheists with regard to the supposed "rights" of sodomites is both staggering and amazingly laughable and comedic.
