   Like Chez Guevara and so many Marxists before them:

     NEPAL'S hardline Maoist guerillas, on the brink of achieving
     effective government power in the Himalayan kingdom, have turned
     their attention to so-called "social pollutants" and denounced
     homosexuals as "a by-product of capitalism".

     Emerging from a decade of fighting government forces, the
     insurgents have launched a clean-up drive against polygamy,
     polyandry, infidelity, drunkenness and homosexuality â even though
     many gays were previously aligned with the Maoists against the
     autocratic rule of the widely despised King Gyanendra.

     Maoist cadres, seen regularly on the streets of Kathmandu as they
     move towards taking over key roles in the Government under a peace
     accord worked out with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, have
     warned home owners not to let out rooms to gays and lesbians.

     They have also announced "a zero-tolerance policy towards
     homosexuality" and a crackdown on pornographic films.

     A Maoist commander allegedly told a group of gay men: "We are
     against any aberrant activity that could have a negative and
     vitiating effect on society."

   Weird how many people just sort of automatically assume that radical
   leftism equates somehow to tolerance and equality.

   Not that the far right is any better. Hitler had a substantial queer
   following too and was openly supportive of many of them within his
   ranks... until he cemented his power. Then he turned on them.

   The more things change they more they stay the same I guess.
