I’m not defending repression, I’m pointing out that you’re using queer identity as a club to beat a country that is steadily improving and showing no signs of slowing or stopping that growth. It’s the same logic on your part that Zionists use to say queer advocates for Palestine are “defending homophobia.” History and social progress exist as a progression of time, not as a static snapshot.

If you’re not defending repression, then please call it what it is: repression.
I already have. Do you think history is a series of static snapshots, or something that moves over time?
