How do you feel about people who are not LBGT+ advocating for LBGT+ rights?

How would I feel about people who are not LBGT+ but claim to care deeply and powerfully about them, so much so that they’re advocating for Mike Pence to be in charge of the country, because Biden was okay with “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” back in the 1990s and so clearly he’s just as bad (or whatever the argument is)?

How would I feel about an LBGT+ person speaking up, in that situation, saying hey please don’t do that, I don’t like it at all, that actually will make me unsafe in a terrifying way? I would feel like, hey I think I should amplify that person’s voice on the issue.

And so, that’s why we’re here in this post. Hello! Good to meet you.

Cool, now what about people speaking up about an active genocide? Isn’t genocide worse? I’m sure the families dying feel rather unsafe…

I doubt either the victims of either (LGBT+ and Palestinians) aren’t wishing away outside support

Honestly, you can either understand the plain and simple English of what the Palestinian person said that I then linked to, or you can’t. If you can’t, then it’s probably not my place to try to break it down for you, and my effort to do regardless hasn’t been working anyway.

So, good luck with your political advocacy. Cheers.
