They're not? Are we queer people more or less safe in a islam-majority countries compared to countries with another religion-majority? Quickly

 

Remember when that black guy got stabbed for vouging and everyone lost there mind and the attacker turned out to be Christian and then suddenly y’all had amnesia? Remember when that store owner got shot and killed for a pride flag in her store by a Christian? Remember how Ron DeSantis is banning pretty much anything gay in Florida?

It reminds me of people like Mia Khalifa / Bella Hadid throwing non-stop hate towards Israel (Spreading a lot of fake news in the process) while if they lived in Gaza or Lebanon, they would probably have gotten killed because of what they jobs... 

 

That has nothing to do with this, and that kind of thinking ignores the fact that the Israeli army purposefully blackmails LGBTQ Palestinians who seek asylum in Israel and jails trans Israeli citizens in the wrong prisons. 

 

Obviously, we can't allow Islam to steer the course of laws in the United States, much in the same way Christianity should not steer the course of laws in the United States. That still does not give Israel the right to brutalize and uproot Palestinians from their home - and this deliberate attempt to conflate the two schools of thought is very insidious.

Yes, one guy getting stabbed is comparable to all of Muslim countries systematically prosecuting queer people.

Waiting for the usual justifications about why this is okay and we are wrong for thinking it’s not.

yes. specific 1 to 1 cases of christians being actively harmful is comparable to systematically approving laws and policies that indirectly embolden muslims to actively hate and discriminate us queer people. use ur ******* brain. 

[Hurem]

****. Your. Religion.

 

I’m so tired of these brainwashed weirdos thinking they get to police our lives because they worship an imaginary creature. Leave us the **** alone.

The congressional rep for the district is literally a pro-LGBT liberal Muslim woman:

 

 

 

This discussion was had literally 3x back in June when this originally happened and multiple threads were made. 

 

The councilman are conservative Muslims and thus, like all conservatives, are hateful idiots. 

 

But they only were elected by 2000 people combined.

 

Rashida is a progressive Muslim elected by 200,000 people. She's great. You're lashing out at people who find people like Rashida great.

 

It's not odd that people would want to find ways to criticize conservative Muslims that don't then also disparage and dehumanize progressive Muslims.

thats like saying there should be no action undertaken with sexism and gender disparity because there are a handful of men who are progressive feminists and that all genders are bad bc u have women like marjorie taylor greene and female criminals like-? 

 

do u think an actively disparaged group like the gays care if there are good eggs in a bunch of bad if the NET (keyword here) effect towards people like us is active harm, at some point death? i dont care if there are more prog vs cons people i care about what they're physically doing to the community, and as far as im concerned at that point, the progressive muslims are bystanders to the harmful effect of the conservatives.

 

we dgaf if shes progressive if the goody two shoes of that community have little to no power to usurp and supplant the bigotry enacted by its, say, bigoted minority, then at the end of the day we're still the ones being actively harmed.

that video really saddened me

 

to see children, too innocent to be capable of really understanding this issue

 

not born to hate, but raised to hate, stomping on a flag that to me means safety to be who I am and not worry about judgement or prejudice,

 

as if that flag in any way hurts anyone else, it really made me emotional

 

then i just see my gif under it, never change ATRL, this will always be somewhere i'm safe to express myself as a trans woman

 

just kno that u r loved sis

[Aethereal]

Who gave them the authority to ban the pride flag?

The predictable "I won't answer your very direct question because it will knock down my narrative, but here are three randomly selected examples that support it"

[Daddy]

SHOCKING! We've been saying that any religion ONLY fosters hate. **** these people and **** everyone that's crying about us making fun of a made up man in heaven. 

 

Religion kills us. Religious people are killing us. Their shared mental illness is DANGEROUS.

Yes America has only had this one anti gay thing happen and definitely not a current culture of us getting attacked and being called groomers and having bomb threats called into children’s hospitals that do trans health care

Well my narrative is that all religion is bad, yours is that brown people are somehow like genetically extra hateful

[Psylocke]

Whew, is ATRL finally waking up and stopping with the 2013'd defenses of Islam?

 

Yes "all religions are bad" but the only one that has gays come in droves to defend their disgusting oppressive asses seems to be this one.

yes online harassment and doxxing is the same as actively usurping our rights and ability to express our identity without harm on a systemic level.

its weird how islam is being reduced to just being brown people in your eyes. all of our disdain does not come from the fact that islam is primarily comprised of brown followers but the fact that people who HAPPEN to be mostly brown are exhibiting this hateful ideology. worms for brains is2g just to defend anything ig.  their skin color/race has NOTHING to do with our justified anger.

And here's the "I'm going to invent an extreme position and then claim you said it, since I can't debate based on actual statements", another classic.

FYI, Islam is a religion not a race and Muslims come in all colors and ethnicities.

Please just ignore THAT one when he comes around trying to defend this. It's inexcusable.

 

These people cannot discriminate against us from somewhere that got that way because of their actions. You flee your country, you adhere to the new country's rules and laws. **** off.

Yes ATRL is constantly fearmongering about white Muslims and the “immigration problem” from those white Muslim nations . If you think I’m inventing an extreme misrepresentation then actually say what you mean instead of dancing around it to avoid warning points and looking like frothing right winger
