Speaking from experience. I realized I was gay in high school in China and nobody around me from my teachers and classmates to my parents and extended family gave me any trouble — except the grand narrative on everyone’s mind was that, because I am gay, my future lay completely with the west, mostly cuz of this “western value” idea Chen seems to subscribe to. It was a big factor why I so eagerly moved the US and became an absolutely cringe Eurocentric lib till recently.
There’s perhaps something to be said about how queer people in non-western worlds might be assumed/pushed to identify with the western capitalist world that has middle-class-washed and hijacked the lgbt liberation movements. But this line of thought is always too close to home for me to rationally think about

A self fullfilling prophecy... This is just absolutely frustrating.
On one hand i can give some slack to these former feudal countries and colonies being backwards in regards to LGBT. Theyre not going to get everything right. But on the other hand ffs why cant people just be cool about gay people.
Ngl I don’t. It’s not like the colonizers we’re promoting LGBT dominance. Anticolonial movements should be inherently pro-LGBT rights, are you against oppression or are you not?
Thats fair but youre gonna probably kill alot of people who are much better at promoting and spreading socialism than some westerner who watches breadtube all day

Homophobes get the wall. Period.
Then there's likely not a single AES country you could support because theyre bound to get something wrong.
I still support their movements generally. And I’m not saying to be a communist you must be actively fighting for LGBT rights.
But if you, an individual, have homophobic beliefs and spread them, rope. No matter who or where you are.

Yes yes you’re right I’m sorry I was in a mood earlier
The frustration makes sense
Long frustration mixed with the fact that when I wrote those comments I had been awake from general anesthesia for about 30 minutes lmao
