In today's episode of mind-numbingly bad lib takes:

So this is:

  • Erasure of queer Palestinians and their related experiences

  • The use of "virtue signalling" to immediately dismiss queer voices in a country where it's very hard to be openly LGBTQIA+ (also, a phrase that's almost entirely used by conservatives and other right-wing extremists -- interesting)

  • "We can only talk about one thing at a time"

  • Implicit Islamaphobia - whether Palestine is LGBTQIA+ friendly seems irrelevant when the entire world seems currently aimed at our oppression, included in "free" states like the US. If LGBTQIA+ people are being uniquely oppressed in Palestine, then that's all the more reason to speak out against, y'know -- fucking murdering them

When this user sees groups like disabled queers, BLM, or queer anarchists go by in their Pride parade, I wonder if they shake their fist and shout "virtue signalling" because according to them they are separate issues-

Since my rights are under attack (queer) I guess I'm not allowed to comment on any other issues.

I suppose those issues are mostly separate, but like, why does someone care that they're supposedly too different?

They don't care. They just want people to be quiet.

Anyone who's been to Pride knows there are so many issues brought in, and at least in this case it's not selling something or trying to get people to join a religion. It's just genuine people talking about important issues.
