What kind of person accuses queer people in Seoul of “virtue signalling” for expressing support of Palestine? This isn’t the government or a corporation, but genuine people at Pride (in a location btw where it takes a massive amount of courage to be openly queer – my cousin is from Seoul)
I understand the situation there is horrible, I’m definitely on the side that hopes for a free Palestine like any sensible person, but combining queer and LGBT+ with the situation simply is showing a deeper ignorance.
The situation they’re under is entirely separate from the LGBT+ movement, and the violence and oppression LGBT people have faced in Palestine for countless years has been well documented.
These are two different things and it simply makes no sense to combine them together. This is why I’m saying they’re simply virtue signalling, using the situation to appear morally at the top despite the two things not being able to coincide together.
You can’t just bunch up all social issues as one, they have different objectives and intended outcomes.
Did I accidentally post on r/conservative?

I don’t see how it doesn’t make sense unless you are completely clueless about what solidarity means.
Why do you care that someone has juxtaposed them?
