ΑΠΕΡΓΙΑ ΠΡΩΤΟΜΑΓΙΑ

...Αχ ναι, τους "έπιασε κόψιμο" τους ακροδεξιούς για τα lgbtq+ άτομα. Pinkwashing και άγιος ο Θεός, δεν λες καλύτερα;"Just like UKIP, the UK government’s pinkwashing is designed to make them more palatable. Just like UKIP, it’s marred in hypocrisy. It’s pinkwashing when the UK lauds the recent arrival of same-sex marriage and proclaims the UK a haven for LGBT people, yet continues to arm regimes like Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality and transgenderism are punishable by, among other things, flogging, chemical castration, or death.It’s hypocrisy when Cameron champion’s the UK as the most progressive in Europe or tries for political points over international rivals like Russia, but forgets that until recently the Home Office was detaining LGBT asylum seekers indefinitely, forcing them to prove their sexual orientation or gender identity with archaic ‘tests’ and deporting them to countries where same-sex is illegal, sometimes punishable by death.It’s negligence when the government criticises states with a poor record on LGBT rights, yet forgets that institutional homophobia was a British invention, an export of British Empire. Many LGBT asylum seekers are fleeing countries that still use these laws to persecute. If the UK is to take it’s role as an ambassador of LGBT rights seriously then it must properly assist activists in those countries which are still trying to emancipate themselves from the shackles of colonial anti-gay laws. The international LGBT community needs resources, not rhetoric".https://www.out.com/news-opinion/2015/10/06/op-ed-hypocrisy-homonationalism-pinkwashing
