People are writing names of prominent drag performers on Israeli missiles aimed at Gazan civilians, an example of “pinkwashing” the IDF’s crimes against humanity. One of the famous drag performers responds, expressing her indignation that her name is being used to promote the bombing, which she vigorously opposes.

Someday there's going to be some research that conclusively shows that pink imperialism and using LGBT rights as an excuse to kill people, has actually done massive harm to those rights and the perception of queer people. I hate liberals. They love pitting people against each other and destroying solidarity more than almost anything else.

You don't need research, just talk to any homophobe from the global south. They'll mention "the west" quite often. Universal values, such as human rights for all LGBT people, have been undermined by this Eurocentric culturalism/"clash of cultures" ideology of rainbow imperialism.

I've been stunned the past few months. Liberals have literally zero separation between "Hamas probably has bad ideology regarding LGBTQ interests" and "it's ok if Palestinian children are bombed." It's the same thought to them. There are no good or bad actions to them, just teams. Palestinians are simply the bad team and liberals can't conceive of why queer people would identify with another persecuted people.

These are the folks tut-tutting about nuance whenever they're backed into a corner

Can I get my name on one of those that just drops out of the tube and kills the whole crew? I can change my name to something ironic like white death

mayo_cider is pretty good to have on a missfire shell

IDK if you're "not a queer", not sure that's helpful. I think it needs to be accepted that being queer doesn't necessarily mean you're kind.

It's very harsh, but it's a perception that queer is instrinsically connected to leftist struggle. Queer nazis don't exist, queer zionists don't either. The political ideology overwhelms whatever other identity the person could have.

Queer zionists are also just fucking horrible human beings in 99% of cases and engage in pinkwashing on purpose.

some people only have one thing going on for them, and then try to shoehorn everything into that thing.
btw, you're not a queer if you like Hawaiian pizza... that garbage was invented in canada anyways...

Hating Hawaiian pizza because it's gross: geordi-no

Hating Hawaiian pizza because it's a product of a colonialist project: geordi-yes

I remember having Hawaiian pizza and liking it once; I tried chasing that high again but it's never happened again.

If someone made me one from scratch I'm sure I'd love it. Eating whatever Papa John's or dominos consider ham and pineapple is just fucking gross.

If you were in Gaza, Hamas would throw you from a rooftop tho!!1!

Mate, how many rooftops do you think are left standing in Gaza? What, are they going to push off a pile of rubble and make me graze my knees or something?

Willow has by far been my favorite queen in these lackluster drag race seasons. So happy to see this. Please watch the performances in the finale, or just this video

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
