I know you exist and you have my full support

However

If tomorrow Palestinians get their state, their freedom and everything, I think it EXTREMELY doubtful that queer Palestinians, or gay Palestinians, or just Palestinians that want the western freedom, will be welcome there. I'm not trying to be a dick but come on, does that even need explaining?

As long as Palestine would be a Muslim country, none of that would happen. That is a simple consequence of religion, and Islam specifically.

Don't think for a second that the current genocide will teach people to be better, have better morals. Jees quite famously went through (arguably) a lot worse for a lot longer and how is Israel making the world better? Oh, yeah, they are the ones committing this genocide and this too is mostly due to religious influences

If you disagree, and or down vote because you don't like the message, do me a favor: what Muslim country welcomes queer people with open arms?

If tomorrow

tomorrow in 24 hours things won't be perfect...

Meanwhile Israel exists since 1948 and still NO gay marriage NO secular marriage in fact

The truth is we don't know what the nation of Palestine would do because it has been subject to genocide for decades. Everything that you say is puuuure conspiracism.

this too is mostly due to religious influences

wrongzo. Political

what Muslim country welcomes queer people with open arms?

what theocratic country welcomes queer people with open arms?

Israel, a theocratic country, certainly does fucking not.

The countries listed below seem to be legally neutral on gay relationships, that's the best queer people can get.

  1. Bahrain
  2. Kazakhstan
  3. Turkey
  4. Azerbaijan
  5. Niger
  6. Côte d'Ivoire
  7. Djibouti
  8. Tajikistan
  9. Albania
  10. Kosovo
  11. Bosnia and Herzegovina

Iran is homophobic but at least they fund gender affirming care.
