    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.
