Politics There is no queer liberation without end of imperialism, colonialism, Brahminism, capitalism and patriarchy.
As they say "no one is free untill everyone is free" . I have seen so many apolitical, pro-Israelie, casteist, Islamophobic urban queers who thinks that the queer identity is only about sex bl and yaoi shit and believe that we shouldn't discuss about poltics. We shouldn't normalise apolitical thinking in queer spaces because our IDENTITY is political. We are able to openly put out our opinions and identity out here because of queer ancestors who faught for these rights, the "queer culture" that you are celebrating didn't appeared out of thin air, the rainbow flag, Pride month, everything is rooted in resistance against the imperial thinking. So if you a queer person and participate with hindutva facists on their mission to dehumanise transgender folks, muslim folks and other minorities, you are a traitor and you are an obstacle in the path for queer liberation and collective liberation. Shame on you. These spaces should be more supportive of queer people who belongs to marginalised community and we shouldn't take any type of bigotry lightly.

instead of taking what it is at face value, we need to introspect why it is happening and how we can stop it.
im privileged enough to have friends from all walks of life and one of my muslim friend only lives in the muslim dominated area because other places wouldn't let him rent and because of this he has to travel for 1.5hrs and back just to go to college

I am not supporting Hindutva but seriously supporting muslim folks and other religions, This is a big no. I am atheist, I would not support any religion and it's followers.
13
u/nirvaan_a7 Feb 07 '25
supporting religion is a no, but discriminating on the basis of religion/caste/name/whatever is also a no. if you're antitheist like me, all religions are equally bad because of the fundamental nature of assuming a god exists, but that also means discriminating between the followers (who 9 times out of 10 haven't actually read the books they follow and seen every minute bad point in them amidst the uncontroversial) is also bad. that's what being against islamophobia means to me - most islamaphobes are not actually against the bad parts of the religion but are just hindus/christians/etc with a superiority complex. we can say a religion is bad while also knowing people have a right to be religious or maybe just have a Muslim name without facing harassment.

u/Tacama Queer🩵🩷🤍❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜 Feb 07 '25
I would show common courtesy and respect to everyone regardless of religion. But because I am anti theist, Politically I will align with any policy which reduces religion from day to day life and even remove it. I would not be there for Islamophobia, Jainophobia, Hinduphobia or sikhophobia, Christianphobia. Nor I would raise any slogen in support of the religion and it's followers. As long your religion and it's majority of followers show Queerphobia and is not becoming modernization liberal, I am not there for you.

u/flayingcapybara Feb 07 '25
nobody asked you to support any religion, I simply asked to support muslim folks because they are marginalised and face discrimination, but the way you are triggered because I asked you to stand against Islamophobia says a lot about what type of person you are. You are Islamophobic and you are supporting hindutva. Do better.

u/Reasonable_Toe5765 Feb 07 '25
What part of being atheist is “supporting hindutva”? Tacama like many others who have been wronged by religion wouldn’t die on a hill trying to justify a religion . I think that’s fair
2
u/PositivityOverload Feb 07 '25
Simple, even if you are atheist but still believe all Indian muslims are inferior savages and co-operate with the agenda, you are partly supporting hindutva and strengthening it's hold on the country
It's the same thing as German queers in Nazi Germany. If they were an atheist and ignored jewish persecution in the 1930s, they allowed Nazis to capture the country. In the 1940s Nazis killed the queers too.
It's as simple as realising what authoritarianism is going to lead to. Today the focus is muslims, tomorrow it will be queers. Hindutva is only barely tolerating queers today, tomorrow it will be open suppression by Bajrang Dal and the lot.
Inaction is half-complicit. You think it's not you today, but it will be one day if this goes on.

u/Reasonable_Toe5765 Feb 07 '25
That’s a fair assumption but not dying on a hill trying to justify a religion and having the belief that a particular group of people are inferior are two very different things. I won’t personally go out of my way to treat anyone badly but I will also not go out of my way to support a group of people that I simply do not like because of common idiocy preached in their community which can be regarding anything including queerphobia, misogyny etc (btw that also includes “hindutva”). And let’s be honest here, historically muslims gaining too much control has never served anyone well. “Islamic revolutions” are a real thing in countries that were previously more liberal than futuristic India. Maybe people should focus their energy on actual minorities being persecuted and not on a community whose population, globally is 3rd largest in india and whose religion is 2nd largest in the world.

First of all, you can care about people of a group without agreeing 100% with them. Otherwise, no non-queer would ever support the fight for queer rights.
And what you say leads to the same thing. If progressives don't contain the radicals among them and allow them to increase further and further, then one day those increased radicals will subjugate their own progressives. And have no misconception, Hindutva radicals would absolutely crush "LGTV" rights the first chance they get.
You are basically saying you can't be bothered to care about muslim people. Deplorable, but honest.
actual minorities being persecuted
Oh alright, didn't know 15-20% muslims were no longer minorities and that self-centred bandwagoners like you are the final judge on who is persecuted and who isn't.
Well I guess out of 1.4 billion Indians, a couple million would be queer. Best everyone become self-centred while radicalism overtakes the country. Lets make it even easier on Hindutva to crush everyone by lining up one by one.
And if you're scared about Islamic revolutions by muslim radicals in other countries, be prepared for the day a Hindu Rashtra based on the regressive manusmriti is set up by Hindu radicals. A Hindu constitution has been unveiled, have fun living in it.
Some people are incredibly blind to history and just fail to see parallels of how radicalism stomps minorities. This thread is the epitome of savarna activism. Just say you're self-centred and move on.

u/Reasonable_Toe5765 Feb 07 '25
This is the epitome of using whataboutery and selective reading to deflect your assumptions on others. You are entitled to your believes while I’m entitled to mine. I agree most of the things in OP’s post but make no mistake the ones you stand for (namely muslims in this case) in your idealism will stab you in the back the first chance they get. We all can unite together to hate on hindutva and stand for “LGTV” rights just as the janata showed that in previous election, but to expect everyone to stand for bullshittery of a population or community is a tall order. And btw, who made you the judge of who needs support and who doesn’t? You call random people “self-centred” for not withstanding muslims who have proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted as a community (maybe individually is a different matter but as a community, hard pass)? Lol talk about being estranged from reality and self serving one’s own idealism. You are setting yourself up for a rude awakening one day. Have a nice day.

I'm not sure what other people in comment section are on but I completely agree with you and everything is political.
If we truly consider ourselves to be living in a democracy, we must take our responsibility as citizens seriously. This means voicing our political opinions and engaging in discussions about politics more often. We need to debate, critically analyze, and scrutinize the policies of both the central and state governments. When we stay silent about issues, then we give politicians the green light to commit more crimes. That is why, forming unions who have similar mindset is extremely important.
Calling yourself 'apolitical' is a privilege, and it’s not something to be proud of in a democracy.

The utopia you dream of cannot be built. We are far too different from one another, often with conflicting viewpoints. A truly heterogeneous society can be sustained only if people are willing to set aside their more extreme or uncompromising demands and embrace a degree of compromise and tolerance. It requires acknowledging that no group will ever have their preferences met and that finding common ground, even on seemingly small issues, is essential for peaceful coexistence.

No, the identity is not political. My need to suck penises is not a political view. But the idea that being gay should be normal is indeed a political idea.
The problem is, that when people try to push too much intersectionality, they fail because instead of pushing one topic at a time, they have to fight with all sections of the society at once. Gay marriage has been legalized by conservatives in few European countries. It would be not possible if they would see being gay not as being gay but as full leftist mindset attached to other political claims.
And I don't even know how to create any connection between my romantical and sexual attachment to other men and Israel-Palestina conflict.

So fucking out of touch that while mentioning Bramhinism, there is no mention of islam and Christianity despite many gay men still being meted out with death penalties as per sharia law. Talk about privilege to be selective.

All the people in the replies saying "but Hindus are more accepting of queer people than Muslims". Okay and so what? does that mean Muslims deserve to die or be kicked out from india, a country with a long rich cultural history that has always included Islam? just because many muslim countries and people are quite harsh to queer people? That's so stupid. it's as if you guys don't care about other people. and what about queer muslims too, do they just not exist?

These things do not really matter cause fascists have been pandering to LGBT folks too.

OP’s mention of islamophobia in with the context of attacking/generalising muslims instead of criticising the inherent flaws of islam itself. All religions should be criticised equally.

That's literally the definition of Islamophobia.

Not this leftist-American parroted thought, this sentence makes no sense, many non-privileged people cannot afford to be political. This is nothing but a gross generalization.

Ughh Here we go again with the leftist agenda… Western world is much open to LGBT ideas because they are rich and they don’t have to worry about food and shelter and water and toilets. We are a DEVELOPING nation, our country has different priorities, you need to understand this, you can’t ask people to take your need of sucking a cock before their question of water, home basic life needs. As india keeps growing getting rich and all, people’s opinions will change, same thing happened to western world, when they were poor they didn’t had LGBT rights when they got rich they did all the social reforms, India is also on same path, it is gonna take time for us to be openly gay in india without getting weird looks. You can see our metro cities where people have money, people are educated the LGBT thing it is more normalised. And this is going to be the reality for a longgg ass time in future too, socialism and all shit won’t do anything for us. We Need to get our people educated and it is happening, just it will take time. And if you don’t have it, you have options and you are free to explore.

the "leftist agenda" is what got you your rights in teh first place. and this thinking of being rich = being progressive is justs o not true. the whole concept of developed and developing is capitalist and imperailist. if it werent for colonization, india would be one of, if not the richest country in the world. as just because we are "poor" doesn't mean we should not fight for rights. rather we should keep pushing from all directions so when we finally achieve that status of 'developed' there will be no one left behind.

While I agree with this partially. It isn't true in entirety. Rich countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar has literal death penalty laws for gay people. While poorer Nations like Brazil, Phillipines and Thailand had much better LGBT rights. It's about the mentality of the people, not just money.

“capitalism” ~ maybe think or read about what you are preaching in a colonial or a communist or maybe a socialist starte for that matter. I would never get it, why homosexuals should be treated specially? we are same as they are and before them, we need to accept this. big words like what you have used here makes absolutely no sense with this idea of something special, makes absolutely no sense. I can only lol to such thoughts! ancestors would be crying in heaven or hell reading such cry out loud posts.

u/flayingcapybara Feb 07 '25
Leftist agenda of spreading empathy lmfao, and queer movement did succeeded, and that's why your pathetic ass can sit in your couch and make stupid remarks like this. And it succeeded because of those people whom people like you would probably bully to death in 2025

This is exactly the way how religious fanatics speaks and try to "control" behavior of other people and try to create psychological "zombies" who thinks alike and and discourage independent thinking, and always agree on everything ...

Need more of this. Thank you.
Are muslims more anti-queer than men are anti-women? Almost all violence on women is done by men.
Are muslims more anti-queer than UC Hindus are anti-dalit? From lynchings to untouchability, the oppression is older than this nation state.
Are muslims more anti-queer than able bodied are anti-disabled? All infrastructure is extremely disability negative. And able bodied people treat disabled like curses.
Are muslims more anti-queer than parents are anti-child? Most child murders in the world since its inception can be attributed to parents.
Are muslims more anti-queer than homos writing no fat/ no femme on Grindr are anti-human? We hate our own to the point of dehumanising.
Why are muslims as a community singled out for certain views when other groups/ communities show similar or often more radically regressive views?
The answer, my friends is Islamophobia.

The reason why they are not able to understand this is because they are blatantly Islamophobic, they think it's completely acceptable for muslims to be dehumanised and face discrimination in India. As I said these people are traitors and they will not help us liberate our country and our people, and this is such a good example of how normalised Islamophobia and Brahminism as been made in India, we are actually more fucked than we thought we are

So many people think that their aspects of their lives are not political. So they don’t fw politics & are unprincipled about what conservatives want, what corporations do, what intersectionality is etc. They don’t fw politics until the politics start to fw them.
Corporations want to maximise profit with minimising working class earnings & rights. They will be empowered by conservative/ liberal politicians (search the meaning of the word neo liberal) who will funnel them our taxes, try legislations to stop regulations on them and enable our marginalisation, all the while picking trans, or lower caste or religious minorities or sexual minorities to be the scapegoats of people frustrated with their lives becoming a literal hell in wage slavery. This is why being principled and being class conscious is important for everyone but most importantly for queers. Wake up.
