CPUSA was formed in response to and support of the Russian revolution that brought the Soviets to power. That support (and post WW2 funding) remained until perestroika so all the things you're complaining about regarding the Soviet Union they publicly supported.
There was a mass decriminalisation of homosexuality and other acts in the Soviet Union after the revolution. These were then re-criminalised in 1933. CPUSA only endorsed LGBT rights AFTER the US Supreme Court struck down laws against homosexuality in 2003. It's really easy to just side with whatever is popular in the zeitgeist at a particular moment, particularly when you don't actually have to implement any of your policies. If they obtained unchecked power, CPUSA would be just as ruthless as every other regime.
