"I’ve always imagined you and me sitting out in the sun, hand and hand, free at last. We spoke of all the places we would go if we could. Yet you are gone now. If I had known that bombs raining down on us would take you from me, I would have gladly told the world how I adored you more than anything. I’m sorry I was a coward."- from the gaza strip on queering the map.

Well then clearly the only solution here is to keep bombing Gaza until they're chill with gay people

Queers for America

Florida: Who wants to tell them?

Imagine being this creative

"Should we tell they/them?"

Not how pronouns work. They is only used to indicate a grammatical subject.

everyone saying this shit should read this and then never speak again

the surface level statement here is "palestinian muslims are queerphobic, therefore fascist israel should keep bombing them" as though that would somehow fix the problem of queerphobia. But the deeper implication behind this rhetoric is that the imperial core in general is pro queer and the imperial periphery is queerphobic, and that settler-colonialism has nothing to do with capitalism or imperialism or racism, and it instead has everything to do with the imperial core bourgeoisie magnanimously and philanthropically spreading "human rights" to the "backwards" people... what really pisses me off about this is that, for the longest time, indigenous queerness was crushed by colonial forces under a standard of european christian heteronormativity. Only recently has the periphery gotten this reputation of somehow being less "socially progressive" (problematic term that divorces base from superstructure) than the imperial core, and that reputation is owed entirely to the imperial core funding and arming reactionaries everywhere in the periphery, to crush organic grassroots progress in the periphery, because it was allied with anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist, and anti-capitalist forces of various political tendencies. The truth is, the imperial core doesn't want the periphery developing its own organic movements for queer rights. It wants to use the absence of these rights as a license to do imperialism and colonialism. And it has actively manufactured the lack of these rights by always backing reactionaries whenever it has the chance.

who wants to listen. who wants to hear. who wants to take people at their word or action

Exactly the same rainbow wash we see with Ukraine, with china, with any western enemy

Tell them what? That homosexuality is illegal in Israel?

“I know that there is no pink door through Israel’s illegal, racist wall that welcomes queer Palestinians while oppressing others."

what do these people think occupations do for minority rights among the occupied people?

what do they think occupations do for reactionary elements among the occupied people?

Welp genocide it is then I guess

this feels like 2003 again, but just sadder and even more genocidal this time. I remember even then the moderate liberal position was to kill every person who owns a Quran supposedly in the name of women's and gay rights. Yeah, ok.

As a queer, I'd like to say that I've seen these kinds of people bring up Christian persecution in the Middle East and North Africa thousands of times in order to deflect responsibility for anti-queer sentiments/legislation by Christians in western countries. Apparently supporting the oppressed despite having ideological differences isn't important when it doesn't benefit them.

This is why memes exist. To destroy critical thought.

All you have to do to win an argument is use a smug phrase

Almost as if it’s better to re-educate a population and improve their material conditions than to exterminate them.

dunk tank gets me confused sometimes lol but I gotchu

A. Why the hell should we support Amerikkka either?

B. I just don't want innocents to die, innocent Israelis included. Simple as.

Inspiring how Israel's bombs blow up entire buildings while leaving all gay Palestinians unscratched!
