From the article: "There's the impression that LGBTQ communities are by default connected to the West and could be seen as destabilising forces,”
It's depressing that many governemnts/people view LGBTQ to be from the west, especially when you consider that some countries want to dewesternise/decolonise, and since LGBT has been intertwined with the west, they use this as an obsurd justification for repression
Big if true
