It's far more friendly to LGBT people than other Christian countries like Serbia or Russia
The argument is “Muslim majority countries tend to criminalize homosexuality so you shouldn’t support Palestine because it’s likely to do the same”. The current state of gay rights there isn’t relevant to the argument and not what I’m trying to draw a parallel to with the comparison.
No, the argument is Hamas is anti-LGBT already
Maybe that’s the one you want to make but it’s not the one I was commenting on.
Sure, you can defeat the strawman argument. But can we attempt at discussing the strongman argument?
If you want to discuss that go right ahead. I have not made any claim that contradicts that and have no interest in arguing against it. I suggest you do so with someone who has and does.
Yes it was you were just trying to be manipulative with your answer, hamas are actively homophobic and part of an islamist movement which is incredibly homophobic - pretending not to understand this is absurd.
I have never claimed that they weren’t those things. You are arguing against what you want me to say, rather than what i actually wrote.
