The country will imprison or publicly flog 60 other suspected homosexuals.
Oh suddenly we hear about this what a coincidence. I’m incredibly queer and I do not think genocide is ever justified nor is retaliation to economically hindering genocide.
Did you know if you genocide a population, the queer people in that population die horrifically too?
Essentially, fuck all you commenters, don’t fucking use our identity to justify your evil when the reality is that you feel bad for going on gay bashing runs in the 90s. You weren’t a good person then and you aren’t a good person now that you diverted your hatred.
Every queer i know online and offline stands with Palestine. No more fucking death. No more videos of kids being executed to end up on my feed.
Hey, as one of those people who used slurs in the past, I’m sorry. I wasn’t a good person, I followed the crowd. I’m trying hard to be a better person. You don’t have to accept me or my apology. I just want to put it out there. Sorry you and your community was hurt by people like me.
It sounds to me like you’re a good person. The people they’re talking about are the ones who may have stopped hating, say, gay people – but who have redirected their bigotry toward other marginalized groups like trans people or Palestinians.
In my opinion, there’s effectively no such thing as a good or bad person – it’s the words and actions that count. No matter what you’ve done in the past, that’s over now.
seconding as a trans person. everyone i know supports palestine to the hilt. you cannot change the situation on the ground for lgbt people in yemen or palestine with war and bombs.
This! One of the most disgusting trends I’ve seen are people misappropriating queer symbology to try to queerwash their genocide of Palestinians. They don’t care about us anymore than they care about the children they’re murdering.
Ah yes, because Houthis stopped a single ship with arms headed to Israel.
They haven’t. The arms for them don’t even go through there.
You know what does? International shipping. Something the whole world, mainly weak import economies who NEED this stuff in the ships
It looks like our identity is only useful to them for warmongering. God forbid we get healthcare, workplace protections, anything. Instead all we see are our names used to inspire wars we want no part in against countries where our governments literally fund their reactionary parties.
It’s a self-fulfilling cycle, they use us as the symbols and the reason for their destruction and then the orphans left behind mistake their enemy as queer people around the planet and then the West uses us as their casus belli again until they’ve killed every last one. They will never give them a chance to progress socially because the goal is total genocide.
Fuck every warhawk in this comment section using us as their excuse for POINTLESS FUCKING WARS.

It’s really extreme to look the other way when members of your own group are being killed in horrific ways just so that you can continue to be a part of a fascist cause.
I mean looking the other way when Jews are murdered is kinda par for the course for fascists. But with most people there’s a realization when people of their own group are getting brutally murdered.
It’s also a crazy disconnect from reality when you think reporting on something that is actually happening is a coincidence. Or do you think Amnesty International is part of some international Jewish conspiracy that the antisemitic types go on and on about?
No more videos of kids being executed to end up on my feed.
Maybe you should make adjustments to your feed. It seems to be having a psychological impact on you. This may be the intention of those that are putting these things on your feed. I mean you’ve gotten to the point where you’re looking the other way about the brutality occurring in Yemen because it doesn’t fit the narrative you want, why do you feel it’s important to not look the other way on the brutality of war? What’s the criteria you’re using to determine which horrific acts you look the other way on?
Seems you’re choosing to only look at some brutality to maintain a simple narrative to keep yourself angry.
Do you think that your concern trolling is going to help the general atmosphere of trusting others with mental health, or did you just really want to win an argumentative point?
All official death toll numbers make it clear which is the fascist government (not people, government). There’s a local suburb near me known for gay hate murders, would you say that the government should bomb it?
Or I’ll put it even simpler Queers, Jewish people, Palestinians, Yemenis, Houthis, White people, Prisoners, Civilians and Soldiers and all other human beings all have equal value in their lives and if you can’t account for that in your argument then that’s a bias. If you disagree then frankly you can go fuck yourself until you become a better person. That’s what I believe, why don’t you?
It’s the Houthis in Yemen, not “Yemen”.
Grazia Careccia, Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director, called the planned executions “gruesome public spectacles” designed to spread fear among LGBTQ+ people and the Yemeni population at large.
The Houthis aren’t the recognized government of Yemen.
They control a large part of the country, and the civil war there is currently in a ceasefire. And of course they’re also attacking shipping in the Red Sea with a back and forth going on with the navies in a coalition led by the US.
But let’s not give these assholes the legitimacy they want by considering them to be the government of Yemen.
The Wahabbi interpretation of Sharia law in Saudi Arabia maintains that acts of homosexuality should be disciplined in the same way as adultery - with death by stoning. Homosexuality or nonconformant gender expression can also be punished by corporal punishment, flogging, imprisonment or forced ‘conversion’ therapy.
This isn’t unusual in the Middle East. There’s a number of reasons for this (mostly based on colonialism and imperialism by more powerful players), but this is unfortunately the status quo.
This is very unfortunate.
But surely this is because Arabs are inherently savage and backwards, and has nothing to do with all the wars and bombs that created the worse humanitarian crisis of the century. (sarcasm)
the worse humanitarian crisis of the century
Comparing tragedies doesn’t really make sense but you should look up the Tigray Way before making that claim
Here’s a source for the claim if you’re interested. Google will reveal more.
Great now let’s marginalize another community, next will be blind or deaf? And tie it to another nations Americans aren’t supposed to support.
*Houthis in Yemen
And the opposing factions, supported by ksa, uae, usa would behave differently? I’m sure cutting off nearly all humanitarian aid under the last administration convinced them we’re more evolved.
I’m just pointing out that whoever posted this decided intentionally to leave the Houthi part out of the headline.
This is like saying “The communist party in china” or “the rebels in the British colonies”. Like, at this point it’s a fairly decided who is in charge of Yemen, and it’s just a matter of waiting for the rest of the world to recognize the facts on the ground.
If your take-away is “this is why it was justified to genocide them” instead of “this is what happens when you genocide them” you’re a monster.
Your comment makes no sense, how is them stoning gays justifying (or being caused by) a genocide? The Ukrainians arent turning around and stoning their gay population because Russia is invading, its a really nonsensical thing to say.
Have people already forgot the “war” in Yemen?
There’s no casual link here. They’re just assholes, all of them.
