Picture shows a pride parade. A group of people are carrying a banner that says "LOCKHEED MARTIN" over a rainbow graphic.
Yeah, it's very stupid. Lots of reactionaries will talk about the concept of queer people being "imported" from Western culture, while at the same time importing their own talking points from the Western far-right media sphere. Obviously, there's plenty of queer history to be found all around the world, and in many cases homophobia was historically imported through Christian colonizers, but reactionaries aren't exactly known for their historical literacy.
Wait, now I'm confused. Did I misinterpret your comment as interpreting my comment correctly?
Are you saying "imagine believing this" in response to people being homophobic, or in response to me acknowledging that homophobic people exist?
"Imagine believing that long-standing homophobia in other countries is caused by the US military becoming relatively queer-friendly 10 years ago"
Ok I'm imagining it. Seems like a really dumb thing to believe. Not sure what that has to do with anything I said tho.
