To those who say “Palestinians don’t support lgbt” in response to Palestinians dying:
Queer Palestinians are real, they exist. They are also dying and getting horribly injured. They need your hope, do not ignore them. Do not use your voice to say a statement that makes queer Palestinians unrecognized. Use your voice to acknowledge, value, and care for those queer Palestinians and all Palestinians. Do not waste your voice, every word you say can help even if you don’t believe so. Listen to queer Palestinians when they say they are here
"Why should I support Palestine when they don't support my sexuality/identity?"
Queer Palestinians exist. And to justify a genocide by saying Palestine does not support you is some of the most selfish behavior I have ever seen on the internet. This ideology is the erasure of queer lives all over Palestine, queerphobia from some Palestinians will never excuse what is happening to these people and it is insanely privileged to say it does.
