Yeah, muslim conservatives genuinely hate the LGBT just as much as christians.
Not even close. Yes you get some hateful Christians but eve so-called moderate muslim groups murder gay people.
even so-called moderate Christian groups murder gay people in the US, depending on where you are. The only opposition is secular government that resists the whims of religion, and we're constantly at risk of losing those protections.
do you think the queer people in Gaza are better off being killed by Israel than living in secret?
The mental gymnastics at play, wow.
Yes, there are some nutters in the bible belt who would like to kill gay people, and some of them do. And they are prosecuted to the full extent of the law when that happens.
In Saudi Arabia and other countries with Sharia law, it is the state who executes you, not some backwater nuts.
Even cherished Western tourist hotspots like Indonesia (Bali) and UAE (Dubai) have capital punishment as a response to homosexuality.
And many queer Palestinians now live a relatively safe life in asylum in Israel.
"some nutters" make up a sizeable voting bloc. It's beyond pretending like it's a niche.
The mainline rhetoric of the Republican party is to empower parents to abuse their queer children and isolate them from information that could save their lives. We have the numbers to show how this kills children, and the state encourages it - a state that mandates that teachers tell parents if their kids are queer, even if they know those parents will harm those children, is a state sponsor of anti-queer violence.
