    Palestinians are actively being exterminated in a genocide. Their right to life should not be contingent on anything. Neither should one’s opposition to genocide.

      Did you reply to the wrong person? Because this doesn’t appear to have anything to do with what I said.

        You said that queer support of a Palestinian state should be contingent on their tolerance of gayness.

          That’s a pretty creative interpretation of what I said. Whether a person is queer or not should not affect their support for a Palestinian state. My comment was specifically regarding the championing of Palestine in the context of a pride parade without also explicitly calling out the plight of queer Palestinians, something I have not seen any of them do. Without that, it’s akin to a workers’ rights march promoting the UAE.
