Two things can be true at the same time. Palestine is a horrible place for us queer folks, and Israel is committing atrocities against the Palestinian population.

I mean it's kinda hard to progress socially when you have been living under aparteid for the last 76 years.

100%. This is why it's important to support Palestinian liberation, and why people pointing out that technically Israel is more LGBT friendly are just downplaying genocide.

A people under constant duress will be incredibly reactionary, and the path out of that mindset is progression, not extermination.
