i hate how no matter who we critically support on this shitty ass planet there's always something funky and reactionary going on. Support the "left" in the imperial core? They do imperialism. Support the "left" in the imperial periphery? They do LGBTphobia. Yada yada "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" but we're not liberals. Bigotry is as non-negotiable as capitalism.
Yeah shit is a complete nonstarter when you're queer like me, want my support? Then how about your value the lives of your would be comrades. The same type of shit is why I don't support Russia's current government. Their reactionary homophobic shit is fucked.
Tbf they will say the exact same thing, the left in America is impotent, they are really concerned about putting down a bourgeois led revolt in the major cities.
Hate to break it to you, but historically homophobia really isn’t a left right issue, chauvinism is strong everywhere. We were just lucky that gay liberation got sucked into intersectionality. Sadly I will always think that if America had been able to maintain farmer-labor progressivism, they would have still been thrown under the bus as vice prevention turned into anti revisionism squads.
I think we need to beat into every leftists head that the west is not the epicenter of the lgbt movement, it wasn’t created here, it’s not strongest here, it’s not uniquely more tolerated here.
The global south is the true epicenter of the lgbt, if it wasn’t for the west doing a colonialism there would be gay pride parades in mecca right now and the majority of the population would be gay.

Did you just say that the Muslim holy city of Mecca would be be majority lgbtq without American interference?
