    Gay transgender man here to say ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY DO NOT support genocide in my name. Thousands of children have been murdered. This is a fucking deranged thing to say you’re doing for queer people.

    Also like, a huge portion of the town I grew up in would be fine enacting all kinds of biblical murder-executions on me. I can’t go to public bathrooms in some states. Are you arguing for genociding everyone in those places too?

        I don’t think that means you should kill thousands of their children because I’m not a fucking psychopath.

        What do you think they would do to an openly gay man in Palestine?

        Hint it’s rhymes with whale.

        Guess what was legal to do to gay men in the US barely over 20 years ago? Can you even name the court case I’m referencing here without me spelling it out for you?

        Would it have been fine to kill thousands of American children over this 20 years ago?

          More whataboutisms but you can’t even come up with a modern example? Are you going to start citing examples from the early 1800s next?

          You are supporting a society that will jail you just for existing over a society that would let you exist in peace.

          What’s next are you going to go full on and vote Trump just to stick it to Biden for supporting Israel?

            So you don’t know what court case it is? Yeah, your comments don’t come across as particularly well read about queer history. Read about Lawrence v Texas. 2003. If you think that’s ancient history that’s a self report babe, some of us were old enough to have a job then.

            Since you didn’t bother reading my last comment, let me say it again but in bigger text so you might see it:

            I can’t go to public bathrooms in some states.

            Not “I don’t feel safe doing it,” it’s literally not legal for me to do it right now, today.

            Now explain to me why the children of Gaza should die for their parents’ beliefs but not the children of Florida or Utah.
