Considering every "communist" nation is actually authoritarian I don't think communism is inherently homophobic. Also every one of those leaders are bad, they run authoritarian countries.

Nearly every capitalist leader has been anti-LGBT. This is silly.

Capitalists just reflect the views of their customers. When society was anti-LGBT, so were they, now LGBT people are accepted by the public, the capitalists are falling over themselves to get a float at Pride.

Lots of capitalist leaders (or at least leaders of capitalist countries given the difference in state involvement) these days are LGBT friendly (T admittedly not as well supported by some). How many currently Communist countries are?

Again, correlation doesn't equal causation. If every fascist leader had been left-handed, that wouldn't make left-handedness inherent to fascism.

Communism is about radical equality. That many leaders have been anti-LGBTQ+ hypocrites doesn't make it part of the ideology.
