How many proud gays do you think exist in rural Alberta, Saskatchewan or Montana? Is violence and vandalism in the West against gays indicative of some sort of "wickedness" in our society?

Or do you think that we are allowed to only paint Arabs as barbaric and evil when incidents like these happen in their lands? White people are different right?
Do you also know that The Ottoman Empire was one of the first countries to legalize homosexuality. In 1858. Palestine, as a part of the Ottoman Empire didn't criminalize homosexuality until they came under Brittish rule. As indicated above, it was legalized pretty soon after they left, by Arabs, by Muslims, without having to be coaxed by self righteous Westerners like yourself. Brittain seemed to have followed their lead a couple decades after.
Do you also know that the current Finance Minister of Israel is a proud fascist and a homophobe?

Either way, this is a distraction. What is going on in Palestine isn't a gay rights issue. |
Cool, how is the LGBTQ community in Gaza today? Any elected Hamas members that are gay? Ever been to a gay bar there?
If it's so great and accepting, fly there with a pride flag, video tape yourself kissing someone of the same sex in front of some Hamas militants. You'll be fine I bet lol.
Anyways my original post was more of a knock on the gay people in this thread defending a group who would rather see their head on a spike.

"Discrimination and Violence
2022
In October, Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh, a 25-year-old gay man, was found decapitated in Hebron. He had sought asylum in Israel two years prior to his murder."
But yeah keep making false equivalencies saying things are bad here. We don't decapitate here so stay in your lane.
