One problem of the West is that they like to use minorities to club opponents in the head with virtue-signaling.
From what I hear, the US itself is starting to pass a lot of anti-LGBT laws. Or, at least, trying to - but this might be just rumours. Furthermore, LGBT rights in China are improving in the past few years. It’s slow, but organic.
As sad as it sounds, if you try to force a change on a people (especially if it’s something like a Western nation using it to virtue-signal against another, non-Westoid nation), all it is going to do is cause resentment. And, as a gay man, I feel that doing that kind of politics pretty much reduces my status as that of a prop.
Just like in Cuba in 2018. They tried to pass a Constitutional reform on that matter and they saw more than half the population was against changing the family definition. Instead of using the Supreme Court like some outside NGO wanted, they used the Party, the Party’s Youth and other groups to go to every village in the country and talk to people to get support (props for Fidel’s daughter, Mariela Castro). Years later and they now are getting more support on that matter.
Precisely! Funny enough, the closest this is done in a Western nation is through what’s termed “forced inclusion”; because those people don’t seem to understand any concept if it isn’t coming from a screen, they half-ass some entertainment with queer or other minority characters of which their only trait is… being a minority.
And that makes the general public perceive it as both an attempt by the more well-intentioned Liberals to force it down their throats - resulting in a similar backlash - while makes folks like me just roll my eyes.
I always say that Cuba is the best example for Latin America. Although I believe some dash of Juche should be put on it… but I’m way off topic now, sorry.
