“Queers for Palestine” seem to not know that homosexuality is illegal in Gaza and subject to 10 years in prison. Politics matter.

LGBT rights in the State of Palestine - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

In 2018, Human Rights Watch noted that laws in the West Bank and the Gaza include a combination of unified laws passed by the Palestinian Legislative Council and ratified by the President of Palestine, and stated that laws from the former British Mandate, Egypt, and Jordan still apply when unified laws have not been issued. However, HRW added that Hamas has issued separate decrees and has not applied presidential decrees by the President of Palestine.[11] Also, the organization reported that articles 258 and 263 of the draft penal code, in 2003, for Palestine, contained "provisions that criminalize adult consensual same sex conduct". However, it is not known whether this code, which prohibited sexual intercourse with women who are over 18 in an "illicit manner" with imprisonment, a prison term of up to five years if they are related to the said woman or up to ten years for those who engage in rape, and up to five years in prison for a male who "commits the act of sodomy with another male", was implemented.[12][11] There have also been attempts by the Gazan legislative body, following Hamas's takeover of Gaza, to "amend or replace the British Mandatory Penal Code" with a proposed change in 2013, including "flogging for adultery" but it did not pass the legislature.[13]

Tell us again how awful it is for gays in the US?

Gays from Islamic countries are legit refugees. They face violence, death, and imprisonment daily.

According to Sharia law:

From the US GOVERNMENT WEBSITE:

https://www.uscirf.gov/sites/default/files/2021-03/2021%20Factsheet%20-%20Sharia%20and%20LGBTI.pdf

In some countries around the world, criminal laws provide for the death penalty based
on religious interpretations. Such laws, many of which penalize same-sex relationships,
opposite sex relationships outside marriage, blasphemy, or apostasy, result in violations
of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) and other human rights. Moreover, laws that
make same-sex relationships subject to the death penalty violate the human dignity
and rights of LGBTI persons and embolden societal hostility, discrimination, and
violence against them.

Hamas Commander, Accused of Theft and Gay Sex, Is Killed by His Own (Published 2016)

The death of Mahmoud Ishtiwi, who was accused of homosexuality, had all the trappings of a soap opera: sex, torture and embezzlement, in the armed wing of Hamas.

Adam Zivo: Queer progressives who whitewash Hamasâs homophobia are deluding themselves

Given the chance, Hamas would murder every LGBTQ person in the world

nationalpost.com

This has never made much sense. Strategically aligning against a shared enemy does not necessarily make two groups friends. There are obvious tensions between Palestinians and the LGBTQ community that cannot be ignored — mainly the fact that most Palestinians, along with their political leaders, hate gay and trans people and many want them dead.

Apparently they're into "roof surfing".... which makes sense, all marxists are self-loathing, by definition...

The word "colonialism" is the new Left Wing Hate Machine catchphrase.

Some (many?) (most) Palestinian males are hypocrites when it comes to this subject.

According to some reports, the Hamas monsters did not rape only women!

They should show their support and travel to Gaza, holding signs is for pussies

would anyone be surprised? Rape is important to MUJAHADEEN----the victim
of rape does not get into JANNAH---the rapist, IN WAR---has committed an act
pleasing to ALLAH
