re: Why does the LGBTQI+ community support a terror group that kills people for being gay?

And why does the Left in general support the Palestinians and oppose Israel?

The left has supported the Palestinians for a long time because the Palestinians used to be secular and supported by the USSR, think of the PLO back in the 70s and 80s. They were part of the worldwide revolution in the way Gaddafi and Mugabe and even Che and Castro were.

The LGBTQIs are into Palestine now because a lot of the modern left is really just anti-US and anti-west. They're not "pro" anything. They just want revolution and socialist change in the US and so they support anyone and everything that is opposed to us (admittedly ISIS and the Taliban were notable exceptions, though by 2021 even the Taliban had gained a level of acceptance that was unthinkable even 5-10 years earlier).

Also they view everything as "oppressor/oppressed" and view the Palestinians are the oppressed and therefore the ones they support.
