The Left never believes in the things it claims to believe in. That especially includes identity politics which it uses as a tool to undermine and take power, but which it has zero commitment to. If you doubt that, consider what unions, gay rights, and unions looked like in the USSR. Or Communist Cuba. Or in Gaza.

LGBTQ groups, like other identity politics organizations, don’t prioritize their group except as a means to an end, and the easy way to tell is to see how they respond to the treatment of their people in the leftist and Islamist dictatorships allied with the Left.

ILGAWorld, the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, has gone ahead and banned the one country in the Middle East that doesn’t ban gays.

Ironically, Israel is about the only country in the Middle East to even have an ILGA member group to ban. The rest of the Arab Muslim world bans gay groups. It’s so bad that ILGA doesn’t even list the Middle East as a region and its regional countries are limited to Israel and Turkey.

Having banned Israel, it’s now limited to Turkey whose Islamist regime will get around to banning its LGBTQ groups sooner or later. Islamist police routinely arrest people at gay pride events.

But ILGA chose to side with Erdogan and Hamas over Israel.

Why? Because identity politics is a means to an end. And the end is destroying the West. Erdogan, Hamas and Islam are allies in that project no matter how high a building they may throw gay people off.

In a world where “Fags for Hamas” is a real thing, ILGAWorld just came out of the closet.
