Like asking him if he was a racist homophobe then
https://humanprogress.org/the-truth-about-che-guevara-racist-homophobe-and-mass-murderer/
Hmm. Let's Google that.
Oh yes I'm sure this website is totally not super anti-communist drivel.
Here's a sourced rebuttal of this kind of slanted rightwinger crap. https://archive.is/Pjymk
By all accounts Cuba has an anti-gay past to reckon with like most nations. But that has little to do with Che.
And of the racism claims, there's a handy politifact article on that topic: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2013/apr/17/marco-rubio/did-che-guevara-write-extensively-about-superiorit/
I agree. I want to add this (old)reddit thread in r/AskHistorians about 'Was it the truth behind the critical controversy surrounding Che Guevara? Was Che a murderer, a homophobe, and racist who needs to be viewed much more critically?', it's a better and less biased source than the reactionary Cato Institute article.
