Apologies. I had thought you were partly joking since "old people are homophobic" while often true, was a bit of a non-sequitur that had little to do with me talking about LGBTphobes in the imperial periphery using fake anti-imperialism as a justification for LGBTphobia. The "idk what you want" at the end also made me think you were joking.
I also don't think it's simply a generational divide. There are plenty of older LGBT people and plenty of younger LGBTphobes and the perceived causes and effects of LGBTphobia are different from country to country which was mainly what I was talking about: The relation between western think tanks using LGBT rights as a fake justification for imperialism and reactionaries outside the imperial core using the perception of these think tanks as a fake justification for LGBTphobia.
