The "LGBTQ+ lives have only improved under liberal democracy" isn't really true. Liberal democracy has the best track record on this of any other system that's ever been put in place anywhere (as is the case on pretty much everything) but there are some odd exceptions here and there - Cuba, for instance, did put gay people in camps at one point but the status of LGBTQ people in Cuba has improved immensely in the last few years even as their authoritarian system has remained stable. And Lenin did technically accidentally legalize homosexuality, although Stalin rolled that back.
Not trying to defend Marxist-Leninism, just being a pendant about a statement that's basically true in spirit but too sweeping to be literally true
