The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals.

    Oh suddenly we hear about this what a coincidence. I’m incredibly queer and I do not think genocide is ever justified nor is retaliation to economically hindering genocide.

    Did you know if you genocide a population, the queer people in that population die horrifically too?

    Essentially, fuck all you commenters, don’t fucking use our identity to justify your evil when the reality is that you feel bad for going on gay bashing runs in the 90s. You weren’t a good person then and you aren’t a good person now that you diverted your hatred.

    Every queer i know online and offline stands with Palestine. No more fucking death. No more videos of kids being executed to end up on my feed.

    Edit: did I fucking say I supported the Houthis blindly? The US had all this time to bomb the Houthis (which would also be fucking awful) but when economical functions with Israel are interrupted suddenly it’s justifiable to just make a bunch of fucking casualties. The anger at the US for bombing Yemen is bipartisan within yemen. How about entities in positions of power just stop fucking bombing people for being morally imperfect? Oh but no of course if they aren’t white then their value is less( you think unconsciously). You are absorbed by propaganda and ideology and any assumptions that you think equally should seriously be reconsidered. You would do diplomacy with a an antsy cop with a gun, why don’t you do diplomacy with someone who isn’t white, oh it’s because propaganda has dehumanised them. Fucking idiots thinking they need to advocate death like it’s a fucking chess game, your as bad as tankies.

      Hey, as one of those people who used slurs in the past, I’m sorry. I wasn’t a good person, I followed the crowd. I’m trying hard to be a better person. You don’t have to accept me or my apology. I just want to put it out there. Sorry you and your community was hurt by people like me.

        It sounds to me like you’re a good person. The people they’re talking about are the ones who may have stopped hating, say, gay people – but who have redirected their bigotry toward other marginalized groups like trans people or Palestinians.

        In my opinion, there’s effectively no such thing as a good or bad person – it’s the words and actions that count. No matter what you’ve done in the past, that’s over now.

        This is big of you. Props on growing as a person and admitting fault. We should always welcome new allies in the fight for equality.

      This! One of the most disgusting trends I’ve seen are people misappropriating queer symbology to try to queerwash their genocide of Palestinians. They don’t care about us anymore than they care about the children they’re murdering.

        This is not about that. This is about Houthi’s sentencing people to crucification and other extreme forms of punishment.

        They will bring this form of punishment wherever they go.

        But you can overlook this if you so choose in order to make your political point regarding a different subject.

      It looks like our identity is only useful to them for warmongering. God forbid we get healthcare, workplace protections, anything. Instead all we see are our names used to inspire wars we want no part in against countries where our governments literally fund their reactionary parties.

      It’s a self-fulfilling cycle, they use us as the symbols and the reason for their destruction and then the orphans left behind mistake their enemy as queer people around the planet and then the West uses us as their casus belli again until they’ve killed every last one. They will never give them a chance to progress socially because the goal is total genocide.

      Fuck every warhawk in this comment section using us as their excuse for POINTLESS FUCKING WARS.

      It’s really extreme to look the other way when members of your own group are being killed in horrific ways just so that you can continue to be a part of a fascist cause.

      I mean looking the other way when Jews are murdered is kinda par for the course for fascists. But with most people there’s a realization when people of their own group are getting brutally murdered.

      It’s also a crazy disconnect from reality when you think reporting on something that is actually happening is a coincidence. Or do you think Amnesty International is part of some international Jewish conspiracy that the antisemitic types go on and on about?

      No more videos of kids being executed to end up on my feed.

      Maybe you should make adjustments to your feed. It seems to be having a psychological impact on you. This may be the intention of those that are putting these things on your feed. I mean you’ve gotten to the point where you’re looking the other way about the brutality occurring in Yemen because it doesn’t fit the narrative you want, why do you feel it’s important to not look the other way on the brutality of war? What’s the criteria you’re using to determine which horrific acts you look the other way on?

      Seems you’re choosing to only look at some brutality to maintain a simple narrative to keep yourself angry.

        Do you think that your concern trolling is going to help the general atmosphere of trusting others with mental health, or did you just really want to win an argumentative point?

        All official death toll numbers make it clear which is the fascist government (not people, government). There’s a local suburb near me known for gay hate murders, would you say that the government should bomb it?

        Or I’ll put it even simpler Queers, Jewish people, Palestinians, Yemenis, Houthis, White people, Prisoners, Civilians and Soldiers and all other human beings all have equal value in their lives and if you can’t account for that in your argument then that’s a bias. If you disagree then frankly you can go fuck yourself until you become a better person. That’s what I believe, why don’t you?

      Ah yes, because Houthis stopped a single ship with arms headed to Israel.

      They haven’t. The arms for them don’t even go through there.

      You know what does? International shipping. Something the whole world, mainly weak import economies who NEED this stuff in the ships

      So, you get to decide why people find this abhorrent. And then because of the strawman you handed all these people you then clutch your pearls and call them impure.

      But I’m sure the prosecuted people sentenced to an objectively evil form of punishment will be glad you are able to see past that because the purpetrators of these evil deeds support a cause you think is more valuable than their lives.

      With friends like you…

      But you go ahead, support your cause, alienate people because they are not pure enough. But don’t wonder why the silent majority stays silent. They fear being targeted for not being pure enough for the likes of you and singled out for a struggle session.

      Edit, the reason for the punishment is bad enough, the form of punishment combined with the reason causes me to root for more action against the Houthi’s.

      The Houthis have NOTHING TO DO WITH PALESTINE. What are you guys on? They are randomly disrupting trade routes in the red sea for political clout and nothing more. Just because they claim it’s to help their Palestinian allies does not give them any agency. That would be like Spain randomly attacking fleets in the Mediterranean to support Ukraine.
