The idea that there are universal values that can be imposed on people who disagree is in itself peak Westoid delusion
This is just the rule of law, which developed independently in what was to become the imperial core and periphery. Every country has (locally) universal values that are imposed even on people who disagree. You could even argue that the modern concept of sovereignty is the western creation here.
Your other points are very good, but I think you can simultaneously say (1) LGBT rights are human rights and (2) the imperial core has zero credibility to advocate for those rights.
