People disagreeing with this meme is a prime example of why you do not allow your entire worldview to be defined by bourgeois elections.
Liberals weaponizing LGBT rights to justify atrocities harms LGBT movements around the globe. We do not need, for example, companies like Raytheon or the Pinkertons appropriating our symbols. Every time someone uses queer right to justify colonialism, it gives reactionaries ground to paint legitimate queer movements as agents of the West. And I'm not just talking about Russia or China, but non-aligned countries across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, of course, queer rights are under attack in many Western countries.
It's the same shit as when the "New Atheist" and Bill Maher types started justifying the Iraq War on the basis of feminism or whatever. Firmly rejecting that mentality and distinguishing ourselves from it is more important than worrying about which imperialist gets elected.
