Using our community has become very popular, and there are still too many LGBTQ+ folks supporting the right.

The head of the far-right AFD is a lesbian, the recently resigned Jens Spahn is in the CDU. These parties have learned to put a puppet in a high enough position to deflect any claim of being discriminatory toward the community. I have personally been told the AFD "can't be homophobic because their head is a lesbian"

Israel is running similar campaigns to justify their genocide in the comnunity. "There is Pride in TelAviv" and "Then go and be gay in Gaza, see what they would do to you".

The best counter attack is building legitimate community and to educate each other! We lost a lot of the generation that would be our 'elders' today during the HIV/Aids peak and need to make up for it quickly before it's too late
