The reality of queer and trans in Palestine.

Pink Washing and homonationalism will not save any western LGBTQi+ person, of any stripe. Alliances with those who are less fortunate is the only survival strategy; because the same people who are eliminating people in Palestine, Sudan, Tigray, Indonesia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Kurdistan, or indigenous people across the globe are going to come for you next. Unless you want to trim off all the most authentic parts and become just another cog. Our shelter is in solidarity, not in colonialist systems. Imperialism is the most prescient enemy.
