I would also like to bring up how queer rights in the West only got codified when it became useful in the West to do so, ie. doing that to create a rift between Global North queer people and oppressed people in the Global South, because now imperialist wars could be framed as the pro-queer Global North fighting an evil anti-queer Global South, and turning Global North queer people into a front for imperialism rather than a bulwark of solidarity with queer people in the Global South
