    LGBTQ people being pro-palestine might be the weirdest thing I’ve seen in a public demonstration.

      Does pro-“the defense of the innocent” and pro-human rights make more sense to you.

        Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners also received a lot of backlash from the British LGBT community for supporting a group that was stereotyped as homophobic and intolerant. And yet:

        The alliances which the campaign forged between the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community and British labour groups proved to be an important turning point in the progression of LGBT matters in the United Kingdom. Miners’ labour groups began to support, endorse and participate in various gay pride events throughout the UK, including leading London’s Lesbian and Gay Pride parade in 1985. At the 1985 Labour Party conference in Bournemouth, a resolution committing the party to the support of LGBT rights passed, due to block voting support from the National Union of Mineworkers. The miners’ groups were also among the most outspoken allies of the LGBT community in the 1988 campaign against Section 28.

        Yes, that does. I think they should read their Popper more carefully, though. I guess it feels to me a bit like what it feels to a leftist person when a poor person votes for neoliberal policies.

      They live in a country where they are abble to live a life in a more open and accepted way and can’t understand that the people they are standing up would beat them, stone them or kill them without hesitation.

        So your solution is to kill all Muslims? If Nazi’s said something similar, would you agree with them?

      A lot of people hate that the Hamas atrocities have been weaponized by Netanyahu and he is basically doing this war to escape scrutiny in Israel.

      Why?

      Do you also think the same about Ukraine, which is a pretty himophobic place?

        I haven’t heard of LGBTQ people marching for Ukraine. But it seems to be at least officially bit different, since the official statements from Ukraine have been pro-LGBTQ rights since Zelenskyi became president. The people haven’t caught up yet, though, but they will if it goes like it went in Europe in the 90s. And it helps that they’re fighting Russia, who are anti-LGBTQ from the people to the government.

        Can you provide any sources of members of the LGBTQ community being stoned to death in Ukraine?

          Sure, the moment you can provide a source for me claiming that happens.
