This article is concerned not with displaying facts but instead with generalizing the entire LGBTQ group and equating the political atmosphere of 2024 with shame. The author simply ignores the diversity of composition and opinions in the group in his analysis. This is a bad-faith article written to strengthen confirmation bias."Somehow, despite Hamas’ paper trail of anti-gay violence and anti-gay laws throughout the West Bank and Gaza, myriad queer groups have backed the Palestinian cause over Israel." The author knows these people's motivation for supporting such causes and instead presents the language "somehow" to tear down both LGBTQ people and to legitimize violence in Gaza."But as marches and parades pour through London, New York and San Francisco this weekend, shame is actually the best sentiment that describes our community right now." This is a value-judgement from the author. This view is not held by everyone.
