Nopes. Not this old faggot.

Here is an excerpt from Project 2025 from page 481.
Republicans view heterosexual marriages as superior to homosexual marriages. Republicans came for Roe v. Wade and they are going to come for Obergefell v. Hodges. Gay men aren't done fighting for their rights no matter how old they are. Using intersectionality as a road map to allies in our fight for LGBTQ+ rights is essential. This includes the Palestinian people. Allowing ourselves to be divided plays right into the hands of the people who want to take our rights away.
Finding allies is one thing, but bringing periferal issues into the umbrella of “gay rights” is another. Don’t dilute our efforts and make us lose our focus (which is what they want). There are too many grassroot interests to place them all under the same umbrella of gay rights. Political strength will be watered down. Never assume all share your thoughts on every issue.
The groups that want to take away the rights of gay men and queer people in general are the same groups that want to take away the rights of the Palestinians. Since we are in a shared struggle against the same organizations there is no dilution of effort in taking up each other's causes. edit: typo
Thinking you might have a wee bit more research to do?
How so? Pinkwashing corporations that are complicit in Israel's genocide and the Republican Party sound like shared antagonistic organizations to me.
Since you have to ask and can’t look it up yourself:

The linked article about the root cause of homophobia in Palestine has nothing to do with BDS. Hamas being a far-right Islamist organization, that is homophobic, doesn't justify the actions of Israel or the corporations that are complicit in their genocide. Israel's right to defend itself isn't a blank check to violate international law or commit crimes against humanity. The Palestinians aren't represented by Hamas. So the fact Hamas is homophobic doesn't mean all Palestinians are homophobic. Israel's current government, which is fascist, is lead by Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu's goals are preventing Palestinian statehood and staying out of prison. Netanyahu is not interested in freeing Palestinians or freeing queer Palestinians.
