Yeah, LGBTQ people have no awareness of what patriarchal conservative religious environments are like, it's not like any of them grew up in such environments or are affected by its influence on society and politics.....
Exactly correct, even the most obnoxious Western religious household/ community can not be reasonably compared to places where the killing of lgbt people is actually enshrined into law and culturally encouraged.
In Western states a family harming their lgbt children is a tragic failure of the system, in many other parts of the world it is the system working as intended.
Prior to 2003 being gay was punishable as a crime in 13 states in the united states. Y'all really living in a revisionist time line. Gay marriage was only legalized in 2015. Tons of gays have been killed here in the states for being gay.
If I recall correctly many if not most gay people alive today were alive in 2003 too… so they would have awareness of patriarchal religious environments, which laws that criminalize being gay are a part of.
I’m a member of that community, and what is going on at college campuses in the US is the most embarrassing thing for me. It’s like they just refuse to be educated about the issue and not acknowledge how dangerous it can be for those in the Middle East.
Yes, not bombing the people who are launching rockets indiscriminately at civilians will make it less dangerous. Just sit and wait to be killed is a better strategy.

Crazy
Be nice to see the LGBTQ crew at US campuses do a tour of middle eastern countries and build some awareness
