People are writing names of prominent drag performers on Israeli missiles aimed at Gazan civilians, an example of “pinkwashing” the IDF’s crimes against humanity. One of the famous drag performers responds, expressing her indignation that her name is being used to promote the bombing, which she vigorously opposes.
I’ve been stunned the past few months. Liberals have literally zero separation between “Hamas probably has bad ideology regarding LGBTQ interests” and “it’s ok if Palestinian children are bombed.” It’s the same thought to them. There are no good or bad actions to them, just teams. Palestinians are simply the bad team and liberals can’t conceive of why queer people would identify with another persecuted people.
These are the folks tut-tutting about nuance whenever they’re backed into a corner
