Something people who say that don't seem to understand is that you can support a group of peoples right to exist and not be genocided, even if they would kill you in a different situation. Human rights aren't conditional on how they would treat you in return.

Applying moral standards as a condition to not murder someone is rather hypocritical.

Especially since those standards have only been mainstream for 20-30 years.

You sooner or later be a dead gay in Gaza.

I'm just speculating here, but I guess even for the LGBTQ+ community there, not being shot dead or starved is the more pressing concern atm.

Gay folks in Gaza were among some of the folks that would routinely go to the desert venue that Hamas attacked on the 7th because the morality police wouldn't be able to drag them off during performances or for being open at the festivals.

Only other place they could go to know a taste of that freedom was Turkey.

Still makes the israeli soldiers shooting at them and bombing them the biggest most proximate threat to their ability to live openly right now.

If I were gay in Gaza, I'd probably be killed by an Israeli civilian-targeting missile strike

It is disturbing how many people here do the thing the meme is ridiculing.

Living in fear and dying alone, my actual nightmare, and what makes me so merciless in how I view rural conservatives stateside.

They'll see this shit and think it's just desserts. Then they'll tell their kids about it, and some of those kids are gonna lay awake wondering how they could ever hope to get out of knowing their parents unwittingly believe they should be murdered for existing.
