I tried to find a Pravda referencing this view on homosexuality being the root of fascism but I couldn't find it, and it really makes zero sense for this to be ever said by a communist party

Perhaps. But also recall the UK's treatment of Alan Turing for the same reason. There was a change in the global zeitgeist concerning homosexuality in the mid 20th century, so yeah, I can see this being mostly true.

Iirc Fidel didn't admit he was wrong about gay people until the 60s, after GULAG was shut down, so it seems plausible the soviets were being shitasses.
