white gays need to read up on pinkwashing and homonationalism before ever even thinking about opening their mouths talking about homophobia/transphobia in the global south

[lautakwah]

why are you so obsessed with a country's laws regarding lgbt people when you will never visit it and only ever invoke its name as a way to a) uplift your own (homophobic & transphobic but western imperialist) country, or b) make it seem more backwards/"barbaric" vis-a-vis your own (again, also homophobic & transphobic) country.

not to mention the millions of tasteless "i'd be illegal there" quips, because the only way to care is to relate it back to yourself instead of extending support and empathy to fellow lgbt people who actually live there. and then the cherry on top being the withholding or withdrawal of support purely because of this perceived homo-/transphobia that is more hearsay and fearmongering than rooted in truth.

lest we forget, western imperialist powers are the main reason so many of these "backwards" countries have lgbtphobic laws in the first place.

Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times by Jasbir K. Puar (Puar coined the term "homonationalism" so I would consider this book and her work foundational)

"White Gaze Saving Brown Queers: Homonationalism Meets Imperialist Islamophobia" by Raihan Shariff

"Gay Rights as Human Rights: Pinkwashing Homonationalism" by Maya Makdashi

"Being bi means all the attraction you feel is gay" NOT ME. All my attraction is not only hetero, it's hetero in the most off-putting way possible. I like men in the fetishistic yaoi fangirl way and I like women in the creepy mouth-breathing guy in your workplace way

[parkchanwoohoo]

My attraction is pretty much characterized as like, that one person who decorates their workspace with printouts of various BNHA characters. Just blasting massively unpleasant vibes in every direction, setting off people's sexual Geiger counters to "Oh, Eugh" levels

I'm like a chaser if chasers were also into cis people. I'm like a Type O universal chaser. I'm fetishizing mundane features you've never even heard of. Salivating and not quite blinking enough as I tell you you have exquisite elbows
