What’s the nuance here? Both groups are anti gay and only one is being called out?

Seattle literally had pride night at the Egypt-Iran so wtf are you even talking about. People are celebrating Iran because we just bombed their country. People are upset with Giants players because they are baby back bitches spreading hate in SAN FRANCISCO

The Giants celebrated pride night and some players spoke against it. FIFA celebrated pride night and some players spoke against it. It’s the same even if you wanna claim it’s not

Leftists were pissed that Qatar was hosting because they’re a homophobic slave state lol. Maybe if you paid attention you’d see what people actually said.

The Muslim members of government you’re referring to are more pro LGBT than any Republican. You say you hate those religious extremist regimes while simultaneously electing a religious extremist regime

1) I wasn’t talking about him, I was talking about the woman that just won her primary and Ilhan Omar, and 2) It doesn’t matter how many pride flags they wave, as long as they support Islamic fundamentalism they will be anti gay in my eyes. After all, that’s how it works with you and Christians, right?

I’m not a fan of Islam or Christianity. But progressive Muslims and Christians alike are fine with me. You’re the one who thinks that everyone being Muslims automatically means they’re fundamentalists.

Well at least you’re willing to hold your own side accountable. I can respect that. Many are not

But I’m sorry, you’re just never gonna see me support bff a religion that wants me dead. Sure, you can argue that some Christians feel the same way but we both know your average fundamentalist Christian is much more tolerant of gay people than your average fundamentalist Muslim

Idk why you think fundamentalist Muslims are “my side.” They’re regressive conservative religious extremists. It’s the same reason I’m against the southern baptists or Hindutava. And Uganda recently made homosexuality a criminal offense because of the influence of American churches. Christianity on average is less extreme but I hate extremism either way.

You seem to put all Muslims in a box as “religious extremists” but won’t do the same for Christianity. Judge people based on if they actually do shitty things not based on what broad category they belong to.

Well then maybe we can agree after all. My original point is that pro gay organizations like Outsports for example have made a big stink about the Giants, but have yet to say a word about several of the countries represented in the World Cup

Because people prioritize critiquing American teams in America? You do see how individual players being shitty is something you can critique more practically than the homophobic policies of a government across the ocean right?

Like we all know that the Muslim governments are shitty and homophobic so there’s going to be more outrage when someone in America is being shitty towards their own fans.

Idk, I actually think an official government that criminalizes homosexuality is deserving of MUCH more critiques than a couple anti gay baseball players. We’re definitely not a perfect country for gay people, but anyone who acts like we’re not one of the best countries in the world for them is lying to themselves

Anonymous OP 14w

Okay and what do you think critiques from a queer sports website is going to do? People are going to prioritize activism which has a chance to actually change something. Local people are going to try to fix something like bullying in a local school more than genocide in Myanmar because it’s something they have the capacity to impact. Do you think we should ignore all homophobia here just because there’s worse homophobia somewhere else?

If Polish people are like “hey our government is experiencing democratic backsliding” are you going to say “why are you talking about that when North Korea exists????”

Anonymous #3 14w

I understand your argument, but as an American of Polish ancestry, to say or imply that either of those countries are even close to the level of Iran, North Korea, Russia, etc that reeks of privilege. I see people saying on X and other social medias with 100% sincerity that there’s a genocide if LGBTQ people in the US right now

And although I despise bullying, I personally would work harder to rid the world of a genocide in Myanmar then bullying in one local school district

Anonymous OP 14w

People are going to understandably prioritize local issues that impact them and that they have the capacity to change. We cannot just neglect every problem in our country just because somewhere else it is worse. We should focus on both, but people can do the most to actually impact the thing that is local to them.

Like in the community where I grew up, racism is still a problem. It’s not as bad as the racism in Israel or Azerbaijan but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to fix it.
