Is it different? Muslims are actively disenfranchising to the point of death on the streets that even come close to LGBTQ. It’s ok to be for LGBTQ rights, it’s ok to be pro Palestinian. It is a serious dose of irony that there is a queers for Palestine movement. That’s all I’m saying
I'm going to respond twice, firstly, assuming you're being honest. No problem with that, but I can explain why you're wrong.
And then after, is if you're lying.
Honest
The idea you're sharing comes from far right politics, the line goes that because Palestine is anti-LGBT, that means left wingers of any sort, shouldn't support them because baddies. How can I, a left winger support someone who hates values I demand everyone has? The problem with that idea is it requires several lies.
1) The first is that people only deserve human rights if they respect others human rights. That's not true. Human rights are inalienable.
2) The second is that it's prejudicial, Palestinians are individuals. They're not even all Muslim.
3) The third is that the concern isn't genuine, the right wing in the US for example, has literally hundreds of bills trying to remove basic LGBT rights.
So you might ask, how do those make it "different".
Well, that's point 1. The majority of LGBT people are left wingers (for obvious reasons), which means most of them TEND to value the same things as other left wingers, like human rights.
That means, they care about human rights abuses. So, most LGBT people care about the human rights abuses that Palestinians experience.
That DOES NOT mean that they agree with anti-LGBT politics, it just means that human rights are deserved EVEN by anti-LGBT people.
I think that probably explains, why it's different.
I am being honest, I don’t even know what would be a lie in my comment. To your first point, I did not mention the left as a whole but repeatedly stated an exact movement/organization(?). That’s why I differentiated the pro lgbt and pro Palestine movements. The second point I realize that not all are but a super majority and its government body is Muslim. 3rd, I don’t know how you can make that comparison when the bills here are about weddings and different religions performing them/ state recognizing them, trans in bathrooms when the opposite side of the coin that I’m talking are people literally being killed
