This is the consequences of rainbow imperialism and pinkwashing. Unfortunately we in the west did not do enough to clearly separate our progressive movements from Liberal cooption and so this is the result. You really hate to see it
Pinkwashing is honestly why I don’t claim western OR liberal queers anymore until I know they’re actually about that life and actually on go against the state. Skinfolk is not always kinfolk; and I feel the queer community never really internalized that despite the similarity of the struggle with that of Black liberation.

I kinda want basic rights… But in the same time I don’t want to be an asset to imperialism.
