-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today .

MODERATORS
could we get some examples of imperialist puppets which are okay with queer people, cant really think of any, ig the problem moreso is that many countries generally are not ok with queer people
Depends what you mean by "ok with" and who counts as accepted queer groups but it's not typically punishable by prison in quite a lot of countries these days, even many imperialist puppets. Like idk northern Europe or whatever.
Yeah true.
As in scandi countries?
Yeah, or even Germany or the Netherlands. Not to be positive about those countries in general btw, just so people don't get the wrong idea.
Canada?
Australia has many issues but it's a very good place to not be cishet
I think Illstealya isn't totally a puppet, obviously beholden to the much larger anglo + NATO economies but compared to a South Korea or South Vietnam they've got orders more latitude. Mostly due to intrinsic racism and persistent feelings in the anglosphere.
Those issues are pretty funny though, like even the gay Aussie I knew long enough had a story about fuckin with and subsequently "getting chased by" a "buncha "
a puppet that is legally and 'theoretically' okay with queer people? Israel? Not that they actually are pro queer people, any more than they are pro jewish people
