Hey, thats me.

For the record, the article doesn’t mention anything about islam or Muslims, and the comments in the post neither, so the mods saw “homophobic attack” and went “better remove it because Islamophobia”

I mean if you were going to guess the religion of those involved… yeah, Islam would be the one right?

Moderations pretty hard tbh, sorry your post got taken down bro.

I’ve heard absolute loads of homophobic BS from Christians and especially anti-trans stuff lately, so fuck off with the singling out bigotry.
Okay but give me one theocratic Christian country that openly kills people for being gay. We’re not going to abolish bigotry in the world without admitting that the Middle East and Islam is especially fucked up when it comes to LGBT rights
Russia

Russia is a theocracy

Thanks lol, this is the laugh I needed today

They use religion to sway the public. Putin may rule with an iron fist, but he absolutely does so with the help of religious rhetoric.

That’s not what a theocracy is. Plenty of politicians around the world use religion to gain support from the public. Some of the only surviving theocracies exist only in the Middle East.

Religion is a useful tool for Putin, but he isn’t subservient to any religious leader.

Plenty of politicians around the world use religious to gain support from the public.

The current state of India with BJP goverment.

You moved the goal podt out of the conversation. Good job on being uselessly correct, dumbass.
