Because solidarity is not a bargaining chip, it is a political action that is not transactional. </p><p>My solidarity does not depend on whether my identity is accepted or not. Right now, I am in a country where there is LGBT discrimination and oppression, and of course, I will call for solidarity when needed, but I will not use the existence of potentially homophobic people to eliminate my solidarity. Because solidarity is not transactional. </p><p>Asking whether Palestinians support the LGBT cause masks racism and the belief that non-Western people are automatically homophobic, when both gender and sexual orientation are colonial constructs. </p><p>If a people is suffering genocide, I don’t care if there are people in that people who are homophobic. If the state that is carrying out this genocide, this massacre, uses the LGBT struggle to wash its hands, I will point it out and make clear that it is trying to make us look the other way while it destroys lives, while it destroys a people.</p><p><a href="https://neopaquita.es/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://neopaquita.es/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://neopaquita.es/tags/NoNormalization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNormalization</span></a> <a href="https://neopaquita.es/tags/Decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decolonization</span></a></p>
