Hell yeah!
I am queer and those people are dumb as fuck. Sorry, but not sorry.
Netanyahu has propped up Hamas for decades in order to separate the West Bank from Gaza. There hasn't been an election in Gaza for 18 years so nobody there had had the opportunity to choose an alternative anyway. Hamas didn't even get the majority of votes in that election. Finally, plenty of people who don't support Hamas, like queer folks and babies, are being indiscriminately murdered by the IDF.
The people in this photo are making a not uncomplicated but ultimately moral stance.

That's especially crazy about the "Palestinians voted for Hamas". With the median age in gaza a bit below 18 years the majority of Gazans wasn't even alive in the last election. Of the adults about half weren't of voting age during that time.
They're just virtue signalling.
Did I accidentally post on r/conservative?
What kind of person accuses queer people in Seoul of "virtue signalling" for expressing support of Palestine? This isn't the government or a corporation, but genuine people at Pride (in a location btw where it takes a massive amount of courage to be openly queer -- my cousin is from Seoul)
Can we stop linking all issues together?
Everybody's saying that we need to break down big tasks into small tasks to get stuff done and then do this. How is anything going to happen if its all or nothing? Maybe just push for pride here and push for other stuff elsewhere.
Sometimes you need to work with different people for different issues, who oppose your other issues. This is just making more opposition with no actual goal.
Like what is the message of "No Pride in Genocide?" Getting concessions from Israel? LMAO NO. There's just not gonna be any pride.
Stop linking everything, get some concrete goals to push for and go step by step.
"Can we just stop talking about genocide -- have you considered the genocidaires have feewings too?"

Edit: I'd strongly encourage everyone to please read Mare's comment history. It's ... really something else. A lot of downplaying the fact that the US and Israel are committing a genocide.
Can we stop being intersectional? Can we stop doing other things? Can we stop caring about issues? Can we regress? Can we regress? Can we regress?
:-( I wanted an audio link.
