I was going to explain this in the tags of that post but it really quickly turned into a wall of text so like quick explainer on where some of the space communists are at with homophobia

Faust: Was the way she was because she was from a very homophobic world and was never in community with other LGBT people, kind of just formed all her takes with no input from anyone else due to not having anyone else to talk to. Progressive by her worlds standards but definitely stood out when around other gay people who were involved in a LGBT community basically anywhere

Da-Rae: From a rural area on a world where being LGBT wasn't seen as a Bad thing necessarily but not "normal". She really didn't know alot about it beyond that she didn't judge anyone for it and chose to educate herself after realizing she was working with a pretty limited mindset. Is bisexual and is aware of this but doesn't identify as gay herself because in her perspective it "doesn't count" if she hasn't actually ever had a relationship with a woman. Keeps saying she gets it when Lin Wei tries to tell her that's ridiculous and then says she's straight the next time her sexuality comes up anyway

Wei: Gay man from a city with a thriving LGBT culture, most progressive of the communist party leaders on this stuff by far. Feminist, transfeminist, trans ally. Against marriage and the integration of patriarchal familial structures into gay culture. His husband is not as radical as he is on this stuff which is why he calls him his husband when he's around but sticks with "boyfriend" and "life partner" when he's not listening. Often laments falling in love with a guy who considers himself to be nonpolitical, his husband often laments falling in love with a communist guerilla fighter, theres some conflict sometimes,

Julian: Trans man from a world where being trans is heavily medicalized to the point where it's not seen as a part of the gay community at all. Theres kind of alot going on with his personal perspective on himself because of this but basically he's someone who had a really regressive take on being trans and then one day the Cosmoists held a vote on what their official stance on it all was going to be, "Should we see being trans as a way that some people just are or is it a illness that must be diagnosed", he voted illness and then lost and now holds the party line and has since genuinely come around to a more progressive view on things as well. So similarly to Da-Rae he's someone who actively had to educate himself because he wasn't in community naturally but also came in with a Bad Take because he was put through the torture labyrinth himself and hadn't fully grasped the issues with it yet
