The fact they even have a pride march shows they are vastly better than their neighbours. Stop going to bat for people who despise you.

Sorry, I didn’t realize you were unfamiliar with the idea of pinkwashing.

Do you think being despised by people for being queer is a new experience to me? It doesn’t make me want to turn away when children and hospitals are bombed, especially when half the politicians in my own country are working tirelessly to instate their own Christofascist government.

Starving people being bombed in hospitals in Gaza are not my enemies, even if they’re bigoted. Thinking that saying “but they’re homophobic” over and over like that’s going to make me go “oh okay, kill them then lol” is what the kids call a self report.
