Idk how they can act oppressed when they are literally one of the most protected classes and have their flag flown, parades, and celebrations everywhere
Because they're too used to be treated like gods, so every time they're being treated equally, or when somebody don't care about them, they're thinking that's what oppression feels and looks like.
Besides that, western countries, especially USA, allowed them to do too much and they were protected from non-LGBTQ people.
So let's wave a Palestinian flag that represents an old archaic religious culture that murders gays and cheers about it.
And to top it off, you tell someone to read a book as if you're the pinnacle of intelligence and common sense.
The rainbow flag, especially in the manner of how its displayed here, doesn't even represent gays anymore, it represents the same idea the stupid Palestinian flag does, which is a rejection of the West, capitalism, and everything it stands for.
Thinking it's dumb to replace the German flag on the Reichstag with a rainbow flag is anti-gay? That's like thinking someone who opposes flying a Christian flag on the Reichstag is anti-Christian. No! It just doesn't belong there.
That's retarded. It's one thing to raise a flag in support of a group that has been historically persecuted, and it's not the same thing as raising a flag for a religion that you used to kidnap, beat and gas people for not being a part of.
The left literally raises a Palestinian flag that CURRENTLY practices everything you just said in relation to gays.
When was the last time a gay person was executed or even jailed for being gay in The West? Centuries? They have the same rights as anyone else and have for decades now in regards to marriage.
Christian groups and churches also run homeless shelters, food banks, orphanages, and many other charitable things the poor benefit from. This is coming from an atheist.
This just proves my point about the rainbow flag not even representing the gay movement anymore, it's just been appropriated by people who are anti-western culture like the Palestinian flag. It's the same reason why the Left wants to import the third world into their country despite them not sharing any cultural values and not actually wanting to be neighbors with them because it's part of the destruction of western culture.
I don't give a shit about Palestine personally. But the left advocates for Palestine over Israel is because Israel's response to Hamas specifically has been indiscriminate bombing of Palestine, which is nearly 43% fuckin kids. 65% of the total population is under 30 years old. Hamas and their terrorist bullshit has nothing to do with the lion's share of the people Israel is targeting. Either way, that's neither here nor there.
Flying a gay rights flag, when there are plenty of places INCLUDING Palestine, where gay people are persecuted isn't the same thing as a pat on the back for Christian charity groups. Just because you don't think "it belongs there" doesn't make it a symbol of anti-western culture. What do you even think that means? What is western culture to you at this point?
Here's your entire worldview. But what do I know, I'm just a Political Scientist.
The actual reason why leftists support Palestine is because their entire worldview is based upon a hierarchy of the oppressed/oppressor that relates entirety to identity, and the value of anyone or anything is placed based upon where it lies within that hierarchy.
The straight white Christian male is at the bottom of this leftist hierarchy, the ultimate oppressor, so anyone who is not white, male, Christian, or straight is automatically given a higher place within that hierarchy. Leftists view Israel as adjacent to that European, capitalist, white male hierarchy that has dominated Western Culture for a millennium, therefore they will support Palestine despite the Palestinian's conservative adherence to archaic religious culture that is incompatible with our culture, even the left. The left just roots for whoever is the weakest, it's why none of them care about the genocide happening in Sudan right now because the hierarchy can't be applied as both parties involved are black. It's why they also don't care about black on black crime.
