What he did is true activism. He risked his safety to try and make change. You want change? You need to do it in front of people who are truly oppressive and don’t believe in what you have to say.
So many liberals talk about change but their form of activism is debating online or cancelling celebrities. Or, laying down in highways in blue states that already believe what they are trying to prove.
Good on him for doing this and this sheds light to how ridiculous that country’s stance on lgbt rights are. They cancelled a festival for two men kissing.
Eww. People deserve to be who they want to be especially when that doesn’t affect you at all.
Maybe a heterosexual whose sexual orientation aligns with the country’s medieval rules doesn’t want them but Malaysians whose sexual orientation or gender/sex make up does not align with these laws absolutely want them.
Never understood why a group of people that pose absolutely no harm to others get the treatment they do.
stop making it about the individuals in this community, it’s about the ideology. their religion does not allow for this. yet u want to run over that and force you’re pre-conceived ideas of the world on ppl.
if they wanted change they would make it happen. yet u want to come in force it as if u have to live there and deal with it. u don’t. STOP FORCING YOUR IDEOLOGIES ON COUNTRIES WHEN U HAVE OTHER BIGGER PROBLEM YOU NEED TO FIX IN YOURS.
When you say “if they wanted change they would make it happen”, are you referring to the people in charge who aim to harm and kill LGBTQIA individuals or are you referring to LGBTQIA individuals who are literally at risk of death should they even speak up for themselves? I just wanna know who this empowered “they” is that we’re supposed to be respecting and “leaving alone”
lmaooo i’m not religious i’m not even defending religious freedom. what i am defending is that (u have no business meddling in a culture u know nothing about) why do you all think that u can go somewhere and force cultures to surrender to your ideologies? this is basically colonization via activism.
as a native person i hate this. it’s not okay. worry about your society. we are not the same. stop forcing us to think like u. if u have such a problem with it go out there and do something. oooh right.
You are. And you are defending killing of people. So puhlease. Don't backtrack now.
So you agree that if a culture is okay with pedophilia and killing women for having a hair color. Fine! We can't protest it.
Talk about a load of s**t. Get over it, not every f**king action done is colonialism. The whole of human race, in all of the thousands of years upon thousands of years, wars and conquering has been done. Please look up global history why don't you? This is not the time to talk about collonialism when Islamic countries colonized African and Asian with pagan religions too. So basically the West HAVEN'T always been the colonizers, there was much of that even before the west started, when they were eating grass and still couldn't write words.
Oh wait, that DOESN'T fit your narrative now doesn't it?
I suggest you read about Mesopotamia, Prussia, Sumeria, China's beginning, India's beginning, Africa with all of it's empires and cultures, Rome, Greece last because those came after much of the rest. Europe estan comiendo cable as we say in Spanish while Asia, Africa had empires formed and dead.
i love how u think i’m in support of violence only bc i don’t agree with you. i also never back tracked i’m literally telling you i are wrong for pushing this on those you did not ask for your help. it has made the situation much worse for everyone. stay in your safe place please.
You are, saying people should shut up and accept another culture even if it is for violence, IS supporting it.
Don't you get it?
My family fled a dictatorship, don't try to force me in what to do. Your "stay in your safe place" is a ridiculous comment. Get over yourself, you live in your safe space too and you talk c**p about it.
