In America, Muslims accepted gay people long before evangelical Christians. There's a ton of anti-Muslim rhetoric that tries to stereotype them all as violent religious extremists. There's similar proportions of genocidal psychopaths in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and even Buddhism. All of these extremists are evil when they get access to power. The people who try to frame one religion as better or worse than the others tend to have an agenda.

As a rule of thumb, religious leaders like the Pope, the Dalai Lama, etc. tend to view homosexuality as a sin. The least devoted followers of those religions tend to be much more supportive

>muslims support gays more than christians

>people who don't really believe their religion are more likely to be supportive

Whatever justifications you are making to yourself, it is still by definition, xenophobic. Whether they are irrational or rational reasonings, being weary of an entire race/nationality/ethnic group solely because they are foreigners is xenophobic. Black people being weary of white people is still racist, but no one cares because it isn't yet problematic. You are making an assumption based off of how someone looks and acting based upon that assumption. It's the same as if you said you were scared of black people because a lot of them commit crime, or scared of middle eastern people because a lot of them are terrorists, etc.

no its not soley because they are foreigners. its because they literally carry a scripture around telling them to hate gay people and to vote accordingly

Theres plenty of pro-lgbt Muslims in America. It's a prejudicial assumption. Theres different denominations and levels of orthodoxy (or orthopraxy in Islams case) for any religion and/or belief system. While I'm not sure "xenophobia" is exactly the write term for a primarily anti-Islam stance, avoiding middle eastern people because thet might be homophobic is still xenophobia.

I call bullshit

POV:

You're LGBT in a Muslim country

A lot of white people are anti-lgbtq. In fact, they are passing a LOT of anti-lgbtq laws RIGHT NOW. It's okay to be weary of them.

Is there a single race that is more supportive of gay people anywhere in the world?

Mind you, 80 million mostly white Christian fundamentalists are about to rush to the polls to re-elect a white supremacist.

lol you need to relax and stop being afraid of your own shadow. I'll take those Christian fundamentalists over the Islamic ones any day....

BREAKING NEWS: white supremacist prefers to be around their own kind.

A how-to guide on making your company’s DEI department self destruct 🧵

[Posting pt 3 onwards here because it got removed by Twitter]

3. Find out who your company’s chief diversity or people officer is, and get their email. You can find it in your company’s directory or LinkedIn.

"Before I looked at the data, I would have thought the possibility of women catching up hovered somewhere between implausible and extremely unlikely," Dr. Whipp said in a telephone interview. "But if current progressions continue, the consequence is that men and women might be running equivalent speeds in the next century."

He added, "This is not me talking, it's the data."

THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE

In Olympic running events, "women will never, ever catch up to the men," said Fred Lebow, the president of the New York Road Runners Club. "Maybe on paper this looks good, but I've been to 100 marathons around the world, and I've seen all the women runners. Women will never pass men. Never, never."

Everyone interviewed in the article seems to disagree with our two geniuses. It's not surprising; all great thinkers are ridiculed at first.

P.S. There's also a rebuttal letter published a few weeks later: "Will Women Runners Overtake Men?"

quite possibly his magnum opus

Books that feel like this

Oh my. How dare you unlock something in me? 🥴

This booktok gooner shit has actually made me like a third of a standard deviation more misogynistic

Hi! Every time a post with any sexual theme is posted, it gets reported over and over. So this is a reminder that I will gladly report you to admins for "report abuse" (a bannable offense) for misusing the report button if you continue to do it. Book requests with sexual, erotic, lgbtq, etc etc themes are 100% valid and welcome. If you don't like that, go ahead and remove yourself as a member of this subreddit because you're probably too narrow-minded and way too boring to be on any book subreddit at all tbh.

Any kind of erotica is as valid a genre of literature as anything else, and if that makes you mad, you can leave 😊

At least it's "valid", though
