Going there, work or fun, is a risk that I’d never assume, not for all the money in the world. Money is useless if a shitty government decides you should be executed under the charges of being yourself.

Not everyone can afford to not take work. Queer people are more likely to be fired and refused jobs because they’re queer, and that frequently means needing to take horrible jobs in horrible places just to survive.
but does he really think
I don’t mean this in a snarky way, try waterboarding yourself for 5 seconds and then consider if you would be in any way rational after sustained torture. Torture fucks you up in horrible ways, and I don’t think we should be criticizing this man for how he reacted to the injustice he faced.

Lastly, I understand that right after torture you’re never rational. But he tried to appeal the case, and he’s disappointed that they ignored the appeal. I doubt he made these declarations right after the torture. He probably made them days or weeks later, I’d assume he regained his sanity by then.

You really don’t know what you’re talking about. But that’s fine, go on.
I am saying that Qatar is not comparable to EU. And if you refuse to see that, then you’re part of the problem. How many EU countries can you name in which being gay is punished with death? If you really think that queer people is oppressed the same way in a democratic civilised country than it is in an autocratic regime as the one of Qatar, you are just denying any kind of progress, and hurting queer people more than helping them. You should be ashamed of even considering that.
You look like someone looking for enemies, and that’s only going to hurt yourself, not me.
And now you’re just purposefully twisting what I said. Again. I preferred when people like you just called us faggots, it was a lot less annoying.
Can you point out what did I twist? Maybe when I said that there are surely better places to go for a queer person than Qatar and then you said that you are marginalized everywhere? And then I pointed out that surely it’s not the same a country like Spain than a country like Qatar? But you kept going with it?
You are literally attacking me for things I didn’t say lmao
Do I really need to screenshot those messages? Don’t make me do such thing, please.
There you go, seems it wasn’t necessary after all. You’re just looking for enemies. Good luck in your quest.
okay cishet
The only thing you’re doing with this is generating hate towards you.
It’s ironic how the queer community is fighting to not get marginalised by something they can’t choose (such as their sexual identity) and you’re just doing that.
You’re becoming what you hate.
Haha yeah those faggots deserve hate because they’re so whiny about human rights and dignity.
I mean come on. You’re literally saying I’m exactly just as bad as queermisics because I’m uppity.
You don’t get to use that word. We’ve been called queer by people bashing us, we’ve been called queer by people killing us, for decades. We’re the only ones who get to reclaim our slurs, not you. And when you use that word while victim blaming a man who was tortured for being gay, while telling queer people we’re responsible for our own marginalization, it’s just a slur. You don’t get to say queer any more than you get to say faggot.
You are (by your own admission) using “cishet” as a derogatory slur. That’s exactly insulting someone for something they don’t have a choice on.
And after that, you’re just being offensive because someone on the internet didn’t agree with you. Calm down a bit, breathe and maybe log off for a moment, you’ll feel better after that.
You already admitted to another user that a victim can be partially to blame when something happens to them under certain circumstances.
You just don’t want to accept that for the man in the article because he’s “from your team”.
You lost. A while ago. And you just keep your insulating crusade because that’s all that remains to you.
Oh, now we’re dropping cishet like an insult?
When cishets are telling actual queer people about the oppression we face? Yeah, I’ll drop cishet (derogatory).
“Uppity faggots are just trolls!” wow I feel like I’m back in 2018. It’s not working, nobody’s falling for your bullshit.
I love how you just compared a gay man who was tortured for being gay to a racist man with a racist sign. You would be less offensive if you just called us faggots.
I love how you think it is okay to make the snap judgment the person as being a racist but cannot seem to see how that is hypocritical.
If you understood the reference you’d have known the character was anything but racist.
It’s not even about the racism. It’s the decision to be so obviously racist in an environment that is understood by everyone to be lethally hostile to racists.
Please tell me more about how the person comparing a man tortured for being gay to racism is not victim blaming.
If your car gets stolen one of the first questions the police ask is “were the keys in the ignition”? Why?
You realize ofc that by thinking my Socratic answer victim blames that it proves you understand the victim does bear some fault for their unfortunate treatment? Being insulting isn’t going to hide that you lost. Show some civility lest you get no sympathy for the consequences of your rudeness (as poetic as that might be).
You literally compared a man who was tortured for being gay to a man being racist.
No, I compared someone who decided to move to a country where their existence was grounds for torture to someone being forced to wear a racist sign, with the obvious discrepancy being the ‘forced racist’ didn’t even really have a choice in the matter.
Also: congrats on getting a sentence out without using an insult.
Die hard?
ayup
What is that leaf?
There aren’t. However, if one country’s laws says “we torture lgbt its a crime”, why would you move there as a queer, where your existence is considered a crime? Surely there are other job opportunities at other places that don’t think that way.
I’m just gonna copy and paste a previous post.
Not everyone can afford to not take work. Queer people are more likely to be fired and refused jobs because they’re queer, and that frequently means needing to take horrible jobs in horrible places just to survive.
There really aren’t. In the past year every queer person I know has been fired and/or severely abused at their job and now they can’t find new work. I get that it’s hard for a lot of people to consider literally being unhireable, but that’s what queers are experiencing right now.
Man fuck that very literal victim blaming. We can recognise how depraved and wrong the law is but still blame someone who is a victim?
Oh this is awesome! So now my comments are somehow offensive and get removed by a mod but a person that’s calling other people names is apparently fine. And just when I thought Lemmy was different from Reddit… Can a mod please point out what part of my comments was somehow deserving of the removal?
I still can see all your comments and I see “load 42 more comments” in that thread. Maybe you got an error on posting the reply because that user blocked you?

There are more, this is just one of them
Religion of peace strikes again
Trump is Christian and look what he wants to do with his project 2025. It’s not about religion, it’s about an authoritarian regime that uses a book as justification for their bullshit.
Christianity sucks too. Same Abrahamic delusional shit.
