Say, following WW1, Germany, and not Russia, experiences a revolution and becomes the world's first major socialist nation.
What would Red Germany's position of homosexuality be? What it be in line with the scientific consensus of the time, (that it was a mental disorder), or would they have a less negative view, (there was a significant movement within Germany seeking to normalise homosexuality)?
We've had discussions before about what the consequences of a Communist Germany would be, but what would be the effects specifically in the arena of Gay Rights? Would gays in the capitalist world be seen as a more 'deviant' bunch? Or would a much, much earlier formal acknowledgement of Gay equality be a positive example?
