The Palestinian activists fighting for LGBTQ+ rights against a neverending backdrop of war
And? So is where I grew up in the southern US. There are states I can’t legally visit anymore if I want to piss in a public restroom. That doesn’t mean I’m okay with bombing most of the hospitals, schools, and homes there and killing tens of thousands of civilians. Anyone OK with that because they’re bigoted in some way has a fucking moral deficiency.
This doesn't make any sense - if anything it's backwards. being oppressed doesn't give anyone a free pass to oppress others. That kind of twisted logic is what Israel uses to get away with murder.
Most of the southern US won't stone you or murder you in broad daylight though. What's happening in Palestine and Israel is fucked up, but it doesn't give a pass to the shit they do to the LGTBQ+ and women over there.
Jesus Christ relax
The middle east in general, and subsaharan Africa, are by far the most homophobic regions on Earth: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/06/25/global-divide-on-homosexuality-persists/
It is, and that's when a discussion about Muslim nations gets very real.
They still don't deserve their treatment. But I think most people would prefer to live in a culture similar to Israel's over one similar to Iran's.
Lots of people all around the world are transphobic as fuck. That doesn't mean I want them and their children to get bombed or starved to death.
And let’s not pretend that trans Palestinians aren’t also being bombed and starved
So are you saying that Orthodox Jews and conservative Christians aren’t transphobic, or that we should go Gaza on Texas?
I think OP was wondering why LGBTQ folks would support a group that hates them.
I live in Texas and I support this message. Jk. Kinda... Idk, some of us just really really suck...
Not sure about trans acceptance in particular but judged by Arab standards Palestinians are generally right-out progressive. More in the "don't ask, don't tell" stage with the occasional threat by fundies.
...and that all of course is West Bank. Gaza under Hamas rule is a completely different topic as Hamas are fundies.
How come do you think South Africa was one of the first countries to legalize marriage equality? Solidarity is how we do away with hate.
Go watch Pride. 2014 British movie. Will make you cry.
Edit, fuck I went and watched the ending again and I'm crying.
Why is this relevant? The article is about Palestinian activists fighting for LGBT rights for Palestine. Yes the rights of LGBT people in Palestine are not great .... But that's literally what this article is about, Palestinians fighting to make it better
So is the US and Canada and the UK. Should I wish for those countries to be genocided too?
The more we keep killing them the faster they will realize they must be the violent barbarians that should adopt our culture.
That's how this works right?
so was biden when he was needed the most
Biden was born 40 years before aids happened. He's doing good not to be grabbing em by the pussy like the rest of his generation. You want a real human, ... yeah that's just never gonna be an option sorry
Omw to adopt this line of thinking uncritically to argue that 9/11 was entirely justified and should happen again once a week throughout every republican state in the US because some of the victims would probably happen to be transphobic.
Congratulations 👏
I'm curious to find out the answer also... no one has yet....
My dear boy, the answer is of fucking course it is, because everywhere in the world is
there is no gaytopia. best you're gonna find is the gay village! But I mean, they do alright there.
Israel is probably the nr. 1 murderer of trans people in the world right now. Get your priorities straight.
Not even close. Israel sucks for what they're doing but no need to make up lies.
