A really quick thread on pinkwashing and why it’s wrong: pinkwashing is a term that was coined by LGBTQ Palestinians to specifically refer to the use of homophobia as a justification for israeli war crimes, ethnic cleansing, mass displacement, starvation etc.

the fact that tattoos and piercings are deemed unprofessional when they're a meaningful part of many indigenous cultures stinks of racism.

what is "pretty privilege", if not colourism, ableism, fatphobia, and transphobia persevering?.

The safe spaces for gay people tend to be partnered with sex, alcohol, or drugs which means young gays have no access to safe spaces at all.

It is a racist concept because it is racist to call an entire ethnic group homophobic, and to leverage that against them in their suffering.

Solidarity is not transactional. Even if homophobia exists in Palestinian communities (as it does literally everywhere), we should be fighting for Palestinian liberation because it is the right thing to do, not because we expect anything in return.

It is homophobic too as it erases LGBTQ Palestinians, who are also forced to live under the israeli regime and not immune to the same pain that affects their cishet counterparts.

In fact pinkwashing actually sets back queer rights activism in SWANA. When cishet Palestinian people see their oppressors waving the rainbow flag and saying this is done in the name of queerness, they are going to associate queerness with the violence of colonisation.

LGBTQ Palestinians who work tirelessly to advocate for their rights as queer people have their work undone, by israeli soldiers who commit the most heinous atrocities all while wearing the rainbow flag.

Pinkwashing makes it infinitely more difficult for LGBTQ activists in Palestine as they now have to push back against the notion that queerness is a colonial construct imported by their violent oppressors.

if you really cared about animals, you would ban all meat. you would ban use of milk, leather, fur etc. this backhanded british form of racism is a really disturbing sign of the times. clearly, pandering to islamophobes is now a political campaigning strategy. fucking revolting.
Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley tells our political editor Nina Warhurst that he supports a ban on halal meat.

As a dentist, I'm telling you, you need to stop spreading misinformation because this is actually dangerous and you're going to cause more damage than anything.
