I used to think human rights were unconditional, but then someone told me that Palestinians are actually homophobic, so as any rational person capable of critical thinking and nuanced thought would do, I abandoned all of my values and pivoted to support for apartheid.

They made an excellent point, namely that I should support the murder and displacement of homophobes, which is why I propose the following.

Every queer person in North America will come together and form a milita. I’ll assume George Soros will pay for everything. For your first mission, you’ll take over the state of Florida. I have it on good authority from Conservatives that the US military has gone woke, so I expect them to cooperate with you.

To any Floridians reading this, you have 24 hours to leave before you are crushed under the high heels of the Pink Army. You brought this on yourself by voting for Ron Desantis. Do not resist. Bigots deserve bombs. Anyone who is opposed to this is a homophobe who supports Hamas and is literally worse than Hitler.

QUEER PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES!

Like every article I find when I google “Israel Gay Marriage” takes a long about way to say that Gay Marriage is not legal in Israel. Correct me if I am wrong on this HEXBURRS

This is true, but compared to the rest of the middle East they’re still far ahead. Sexual activity with the same sex is legal and discrimination based on sexual orientation is illegal.

Although same-sex marriages are not performed in the country (as it does not have civil non-religious marriages), Israel recognizes same-sex marriages performed elsewhere.

To me, I don’t consider that legal. Legal under this weird technicality.

That’s why there’s a lot of “marriage tourism” on Cyprus.

They also ban interfaith marriage within the country but recognize them from abroad lol

Also, when I googled interfaith marriage in Israel the third result was an op-ed from Israel’s former deputy communications director, saying outside interfaith marriages are a “grave threat to the future of the Jewish people”

Also it means you’re only allowed to have a same-sex or interfaith marriage if you can return after leaving the country, making them effectively illegal for Palestinians.

Maybe the rest of the middle east would also be far ahead if the US hadn’t toppled any progressive, democratic government in the region that made too many socialistic noises

assuming a standard rate of 10% of the population being lgbt and 1% being trans, the IDF is currently conducting a terror campaign on 200,000 lgbt people, which includes 20,000 trans people, in the Gaza strip. Sounds like their record on LGBT rights is so good!

The joys of homonationalism - unfortunate name tbh - a cornerstone of western supremacist liberals and fascists since at least Pim Fortuyn’s electoral campaign in the 2002 Dutch elections.

Also TIL he was one of those new left clowns that became a renegade in the late 80s.

Just straight people using us as a mask and not us asserting ourselves over everyone else once and for all? 1985

A lot of the people that hold these positions are also the people that write articles along the lines of

“I met with gay rights activists in country-where-being-gay-has-the-death-penalty to show how little I a London based journalist fear reprisals here are their names and addresses”

If these people get attacked, the journalist views it as a q.e.d. of what they just wrote and it just further legitimizes “and here’s why we must intervene”
