Guevara was definitely not a hero or anyone to be proud of. The guy was a mass murderer and tyrant who, if he'd ever come into state leadership, would've been a mini Stalin or Kim Jong-Il, or at the very least, as bad as the Batista regime he helped overthrow. That, and he was one of the key founders of the Cuban Revolution's UMAP system, in which military conscientious objectors, LGBT Cubans, and other "bourgeois" elements were sent to re-education/forced labor camps.
That being said, ideology and politics aside, I can respect him as a warrior and fighting man who managed to outwit and confound the West for quite some time before we finally killed him. He had a hard heart and the iron will to wage war, and that is strength that I admire.

I'm fine with people sport communist symbols. I think it's an appealing aesthetic, and there's a certain strength it conveys. History's villains always had rockin' style, and the Soviets had it in spades. I love their military drill, uniforms and propaganda style. It's inspiring stuff.
But, anyone who tolerates their buddies wearing Che shirts or other Communist memorabilia should think twice before criticizing people who draw similar fashion inspiration from fascist aesthetics. Fair's fair.

No-one's defending the Castro regime's previous, atrocious record on homosexuals.
It's just that it's difficult to get too worked up about Castro and Guevara's oppression of gays 50 years ago (which Castro later regretted, reversed and apologised for) when there are leading North American political and religious figures today, right now calling for the Supreme Court's Lawrence v Texas decision to be overturned and the States to go back to imprisoning gays.
No hipster wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt threatens the life or rights of me and my friends; somebody who votes for Rick Santorum or donates to Bryan Fischer very much does.

I share your hatred of Santorum and Fischer, so I don't think we need to debate any further there. They're both neo-Con capitalists who'd allow corporations to run amok over our lives, talking big about national defense, while simultaneously sending more American jobs to China.
However, I don't think we're in any danger of the gay rights movement being defeated or severely set back by people like them, at least on a federal level. The repeal of DADT was wishful thinking ten years ago, and impossible twenty years ago. However Individual states will continue to grapple back and forth on issues of gay marriage/adoption/etc for some years to come.
Also, the likelihood of any laws criminalizing homosexuality coming back into effect are so unlikely that it's not even worth worrying about. Even if it did happen, it'd mean arresting and imprisoning hundreds, probably thousands of gay veterans, which no sane Republican ticket could ever get behind or get a noteworthy number of votes.
If you fear your fellow citizen, then be armed. If they DO come for the gays, I hope the gays are packing heat.

I am rather disturbed that you liken what appears to be a golden Jackal, a close relative of the Coyote in blood and in behavior, to the mass murdering coward Che. Real Jackals would not fall for his lame quasi-Marxist lies. Because, they like us Yotes treasure our freedom too much for that.
