Stalin didn’t ban being gay, because again, the USSR wasn’t a dictatorship. If the USSR did, that obviously sucks, but ostensibly democratic US and Britain have done worse.
He signed the law when it arrived on his desk. If he had been an ally, he wouldn't have signed it. Drag can't imagine Joe Biden signing a law like that, even if the house and senate approved it. Joe Stalin is held to the same standard by history.
Bringing up 2024’s Biden is a non sequitur. We already went over this: no mid-20th century Western state was a gay ally.
