Does anyone remember back in 2012 when the United Nations was unable to pass resolutions against the murder and persecution of LGBTQs worldwide because the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) walked out of the talks and Pakistan described homosexuality as “licentious behaviour”? Does anyone remember how classes on LGBTQ history were canceled in a Birmingham England school because the Muslim community protested? Does anyone remember when the BBC canceled its "Free Speach" debate about gay Muslims when the Mosque in which it was to be held opposed? Does anyone remember how Hillary Clinton was against gay marriage until it became statistically popular, then she became pro-gay marriage? Did you as an LGBTQ Hindu or a friend of LGBTQ Hindus notice how silent the Left was and is about this Islamic and Leftist homophobia? What if there was an Organization of Christian Cooperation who opposed LGBTQ rights in the United Nations? What if there was an Organization of Hindu Cooperation who opposed LGBTQ rights in the United Nations? Would the Left remain silent? No! At least those elements of the Right who are opposed to gay marriage (and not all of them are, increasingly more aren't) are principled enough to stand by their beliefs even when and if gay marriage becomes popular... they are not hypocrites who go where the wind blows when it comes to LGBTQs.
The fact of the matter is that many many LGBTQ Hindus see how silent the Left is when it comes to Islamic atrocities against LGBTQs, such as routinely throwing them off buildings, when they are not silent about homophobia in Christianity and when it does appear, inside Hindutva. In India there is the term "pseudo-secular", this is meant to call our the Leftist practice of being selective as to where they place their criticism when it comes to issues like LGBTQ rights and respect for women. If they see it in Hindutva or in Christianity in the West, they attack, but Islam ALWAYS gets a free pass. Why is this? Because Islam is too barbaric and backward to be a full world power, yet, and so they are weaker than more progressive nations and so the Left likes to use them as "victims". If you can't rise to the top because your society abuses minorities and shuns secularism, then no matter what you do, no matter how cruel and evil you are, the Left is there to champion you on the world stage.
In the West, among the White Left, this is because White Leftists have not experienced Islamic persecution and atrocities, their issue has been more with Christianity. Because they have been at odds with Christianity, it is ok for world Leftism to be anti-Christian, but because the White Left has not experienced Islamic persecution on LGBTQ grounds, then it is not ok to criticize Islam for this. Rest assured, if White Leftists had been harassed by Islam then yes, anti-Islam would be a popular thing. It is not the White Left's friends who are being hunted and killed, it is Brown people... Brown on Brown violence does not count as much in their eyes, only White on White social conflict matters. Brown Hindus are supposed to be against the White Conservatives who are the enemy of the Left, but White Leftists are not supposed to be the enemies of Brown Muslims who persecute liberal Hindus. The Brown Left is not anti-Islam simply because they are copying the White Left who remain the true leaders of the Leftist global movement. Brown Leftists are auto-racist, they won't defend their own race from LGBTQ attacks because the White Left doesn't... and they are also racist because of their lowered expectations for their own race... only Whites are expected to be evolved, Brown Muslims are never expected to grow on the LGBTQ issue.
Does anyone remember when Trump made the move to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide, and how the Left attacked him for this, making the absurd accusation than while Islamic nations are busy killing gays, the decriminalization was a form of homophobia because it did not YET take the full step of making gay marriage legal? And didn't the Left take its time in getting to legalizing gay marriage? Didn't the Left move piecemeal in liberation LGBTQs? And so why can't the right? Trump was the first President ever to make such a move, and it resonated with LGBTQs worldwide, because for the first time ever, the USA held Islamic nations accountable for their institutionalized homophobia. There is a changing attitude on the Right, and more and more LGBTQs and LGBTQ Hindus especially are jumping ship.
As for the White and Brown Left's hypocritical attacks on Hindutva for homophobia, they forget to mention that it was not Hindu culture which criminalized homosexuality in India, it was the colonial powers. Prior to Islamic invasion and colonialism, the Hindu culture was not anti-homosexual and was more than tolerant. There is an entire god and religious movement in Hinduism just for transgenders, the cult of Iravan / Aravan, who is worshiped by his transvestite brides. It is outside cultures which have brought homophobia to India, it is not endemic. Rather than attack the root cause of this problem, the Left rather attacks the effect. The RSS (a Hinduish volunteer organization in India) at first came out against homosexuality, but then because of its recognition of the tolerance of Hindu culture, reversed the stance and accepted homosexuality. Hindus are willing to change, but Islam is not. Did the Left highlight the progress of Hindutva? No, they only criticized Hindutva for not moving fast enough, while Islam was not asked to move at all. Hindutva and Hindus are ready to open their eyes to their real culture, but Islam's real culture is anti-homosexual, and always will be.
The Left does not get to tell LGBTQs and LGBTQ Hindus what they fear more, the eroding homophobia in the right or the Left-Islamic alliance with its Orwellian silence on Islamic homophobia. Isn't it disgusting how Leftist ware those Che Guevara t-shirts, even though he put gays in concentration camps? What if he had done that to Muslims? The Left would never be wearing those shirts. The Left has already proven than in their quest for social destruction they are willing to sacrifice gays, they would allow the Islamization of Western culture, they would allow gays to be persecuted again, as long as their final agenda was met, which is no longer even really social liberalism but tolerance of Islamic homophobia. Guess what, LGBTQs are starting to rather take their chances with the Right who are willing to evolve on this issue then with the Islamo-Left who are creeping into social homophobia by selectively not criticizing Islam for its bigotry and murder of LGBTQs.
