"If you're queer why don't you support the war (genocide) on Gaza? Palestine is homophobic!!!" I don't know, maybe because people shouldn't be murdered on mass for living in a homophobic country? Maybe because a government being homophobic doesn't justify ethnic cleansing? Maybe because queers in Palestine aren't going to feel "liberated" by the IDF murdering their children? Maybe because I'm not a fucking racist???
Be serious, there are so many homophobic countries. Would you condone murdering polish civilians for living in a homophobic country? Would you cheer at people in Florida having to carry their children in plastic bags? Would that be for the greater cause of queer liberation? Or is it only justified when it's brown people and Muslims?
How dare you expect queers to be "grateful" to the Israeli government for committing literal fucking genocide.
Hot take ig but companies that put out pride collections and then pull them because the bigots piss their pants are performative asf. You either stand with queer people, or you don't.
Oh boohoo you had to deal with some hate. Big fuckin deal. How do you think queer people feel? I have to live with the fact that traveling is completely out of the question for me because my mere identity puts me in danger. People are DYING. There are laws being passed that thoroughly screw over trans people in places like Florida. And y'all can't deal with some grown men throwing temper tantrums and smashing beer cans? Weak. Just say it with your chest that you don't fuckin care about us.
Support is more than a few pride emotes. Support is more than a supposedly strict anti discrimination policy. Want to show your support? Start by not muting a queer person who is left to defend themself due to your incompetence in moderation.
