“Queer liberation cannot be achieved within the violence of settler-colonialism.”
That damned old drunk F Scott Fitzgerald got one thing, apart from Tender is the Night and The Beautiful and the Damned that is, right.
“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time,” Frankie said, “and still retain the ability to function.”
And it’s here we must insert the genius cognitive abilities of the modern Queer for their unwavering support of gay-hating religious fanatics who slaughtered and burned progressive families in their homes and hunted gorgeous young men and women dancing for peace, gay and straight, all the while storing weapons caches in kids bedrooms and in hozzies, kindies etc.
For those who’ve swung in late, the World Surf League is under siege for adding a surfing event to the 2025 world tour at a man-made wave park in Abu Dhabi, where Sharia law is incorporated into the legal system.
Mikey Wright, the older brother of two-time world champ Tyler Wright launched a salvo across the WSL’s bow one week ago writing:
“You have no business putting on an event at a location where my sister can be sentenced by law with the death penalty. So much for equality and equal rights, only when it’s convenient to WSL. You have supported the LGBTQ flag on her shoulder but now you want to strip it and be hush hush to get her to a location that she’s at risk of this punishment. You have the responsibility to protect your athletes, interested to see how you think you can protect her against the law.”
Yesterday, Tyler Wright posted her support for the Palestinian cause despite her family’s fear Islamic law will be, to coin a phrase, the death of her.
Contradictory, yes?
Not, like, even close.
The account, which is called @thesectionsurf, celebrated the daughter of surf legend Tom Curren signing a petition that accuses Israel of genocide and apartheid.
One reader wrote in reply,
“But in Palestine I just read if you’re gay its 10 years in prison. How could you support that?”
The manager of the site replied:
“With all due respect, I am not going to spend much time going over tired talking points that have been thoroughly + incisively covered 12 months ago. The weaponisation of queerness in support of an apartheid regime is one such tired talking point. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community who support Palestine do so because they understand intersectionality, in particular that queer liberation cannot be achieved within the violence of settler-colonialism. If you wish to learn more I encourage you to read the extensive work of Dr Angela Davis, a lesbian political scientist + long time activist for Palestine.”
Read it again?

See?
Gay oppression in Gaza and co is the fault of the Jew!
Free the people from the yoke of the Israeli jackboot and Gaza and the West Bank will become queer paradises! Delicious uncut cock openly gobbled on Omar Mukhtar Street! Pride parades in Ramallah!

I was actually going to say as you have very little substance to your opinions, very Trumpian of you!!
we both love Trump!
yes you are very good at trying to deflect as you are probably the most biased person who posts here
and you are biased against religions…..which means you probably shouldn’t be commenting on the ME wars as it’s religious!
haha no-ne should support killing of children it’s evil!
yep sounds like you have a great understanding of history , carry on!
is that a racist comment towards me?
You don’t discuss as it seems you have no moral foundation….so good luck with that!
OK let’s finish it up……..you do not seem to have anything to contribute on a personal level see ya on the other posts!
not at all, the opposite!
it’s so ironic that you started by accusing me of bias when in fact you are the one with very serious bias’s against anything religion…….our whole western system of Government is based on the Bible……and you where do you get your morals and sense of right and wrong?
you can’t even decide whether raping and killing babies is bad?
Nothing is black and white for you…..now that’s sad , we ll your world is grey….do ya teach ya kids that??
well what you are offering ????
when you are a Christian the only fear is the wrath of God…all the rest is just details of life and death…and the point of having a direction is to be part of a better future?
do you have kids??
it seems you have opinions but can’t back them up as you don’t know what you represent or understand who you are , which makes it hard to have a conversation or discussion.
well is the good/bad/really bad/really really really bad….in humans!
Evil…..what do you call people who rape and Kill babies and need to watch it online?
What do you call people who glory in sacrificing humans to appease their Gods ?
The Bible is the Library of mankind!
haha , do you even understand all the different denominations/interpretations or how there has been an evolution in worshipping God?
Just saying the majority of people on the planets have Gods and then there’s your lot……who just have fear of dying and see no point to life.
yeah you know….unless you are a secular humanist…….it’s interesting how you started saying you don’t take sides , LOL!
so you think there is no good and evil?
now we are getting somewhere….not sure that you know that your view is a minority one , sad but a fact.
Your belief in nothing…maybe man’s goodness…you could be a …???….
how would you describe your beliefs? a Secular Humanist?
we are all slaves to secular colonialist ideals and values in society…called Wokism.
Insanity is being on BG , having no opinions on anything left or right , continually commenting…..but no substance to the point where people like you do not understand the difference between good and evil!
